  • Treat all participants, retreat leaders, staff, local guides, vendors, and community members with respect.
  • Follow safety instructions provided by retreat leaders and third-party providers.
  • Respect the privacy, boundaries, and personal space of others.
  • Obtain consent before photographing or recording other participants for personal use.
  • Respect local customs, cultures, laws, and communities.
  • Refrain from behavior that is abusive, discriminatory, threatening, harassing, disruptive, or otherwise detrimental to the group experience.

I understand that failure to comply with these expectations may result in my removal from part or all of the Retreat without refund.

If I become separated from the group due to my own actions, delays, missed transportation, airport security procedures, customs or immigration processing, airline decisions, personal choices, illness, or any circumstance outside fEMBODY’s reasonable control, I understand that the Retreat may continue as scheduled.

I acknowledge that fEMBODY is not required to delay flights, transportation, activities, or the group’s itinerary for an individual participant.

If I become separated from the group, I am solely responsible for all costs associated with rejoining the Retreat unless fEMBODY expressly agrees otherwise.

13. Free Time and Optional Activities

I understand that portions of the Retreat may be designated as free time or optional activities.

Participation in optional activities is entirely voluntary.

During any free time or activities that I choose independently, I am solely responsible for my own transportation, purchases, safety, decisions, and wellbeing.

fEMBODY does not supervise participants during designated free time.

14. Medical Care

I understand that medical facilities, emergency transportation, medications, and healthcare standards may differ from those available in my home country.

I authorize fEMBODY to seek emergency medical assistance if reasonably necessary; however, I accept full responsibility for all resulting medical expenses and acknowledge that fEMBODY makes no guarantees regarding the availability, quality, or timeliness of medical care.

15. Travel Insurance

I understand that comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended.

I acknowledge that I am responsible for obtaining any travel, medical, evacuation, baggage, cancellation, interruption, or other insurance coverage I deem appropriate.

I grant fEMBODY the unrestricted right to photograph, record, film, and otherwise capture my image, voice, likeness, and participation throughout the Retreat.

I authorize fEMBODY to use such photographs, videos, recordings, testimonials, and other media for promotional, marketing, educational, commercial, social media, and other lawful business purposes without compensation or further approval.

I understand that Retreats involve group experiences where incidental appearances in photographs and videos may occur.

If I do not wish to appear in promotional media, I understand that I must notify fEMBODY in writing before the Retreat. While reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate such requests, I understand that fEMBODY cannot guarantee that incidental appearances in group settings can always be avoided.

17. Excursions and Third-Party Activities

Certain Retreat activities may be operated by independent third-party providers.

I understand that these providers are solely responsible for the operation and safety of their own services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, fEMBODY is not responsible for the acts, omissions, negligence, equipment, decisions, policies, or services of independent third-party providers.

18. Changes to the Itinerary

I understand that Retreat itineraries may change due to weather, safety concerns, participant wellbeing, transportation disruptions, local conditions, force majeure events, or other circumstances beyond fEMBODY’s reasonable control.

I authorize fEMBODY to make reasonable modifications that it believes are in the best interests of participant safety and the overall Retreat experience.

19. Early Departure or Separation

If I voluntarily leave the Retreat, miss scheduled transportation, choose alternative accommodations, or otherwise separate myself from the Retreat before its scheduled conclusion, I understand that I assume full responsibility for my own transportation, lodging, expenses, safety, and wellbeing from that point forward.

No refunds, credits, or reimbursements will be provided unless expressly stated in writing.

20. Conclusion of the Retreat

I understand that fEMBODY’s organized responsibilities conclude at the official end of the Retreat as communicated by the retreat leaders.

Once the Retreat has officially concluded, or once I voluntarily separate from the Retreat before its conclusion, I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for my own conduct, travel, accommodations, transportation, purchases, alcohol consumption, interactions with others, flights, and any resulting consequences.

21. No Guarantee of Individual Experience

I understand that fEMBODY is committed to creating a positive, supportive, and meaningful Retreat experience for all participants.

However, I acknowledge that personal satisfaction, emotional outcomes, interpersonal relationships, compatibility with other participants, weather, travel conditions, accommodations, and other circumstances beyond fEMBODY’s reasonable control cannot be guaranteed.
