Breathwork Participation Agreement, Waiver, and Release of Liability

Voluntary Participation

I choose to participate voluntarily in this virtual or in-person breathwork session, training, retreat, or related personal growth experience (the “Experience”). I understand that I am under no obligation to participate and may decline or stop any activity at any time. I agree to communicate my needs and boundaries and to take responsibility for my own self-care throughout the Experience.

Nature of the Experience

I understand that breathwork and related practices are personal growth experiences intended to support awareness, insight, and well-being. They are not a substitute for medical, mental health, or psychotherapy care, and the facilitators are not licensed healthcare providers.

I understand that the Experience may involve guided breathing, music, movement, emotional expression, group interaction, and other personal growth practices, and that some sessions may include optional hands-on support. I understand that I am always empowered to consent to or decline any form of touch or activity.

Assumption of Risk

I understand that participation in the Experience involves inherent risks, which may be emotional, psychological, physical, or spiritual in nature. These risks may include, but are not limited to:

• Emotional release, psychological discomfort, or distress

• Physical sensations such as dizziness, tingling, fatigue, or shortness of breath

• Unexpected emotional responses or memories

• Injury, illness, or aggravation of pre-existing conditions

• Environmental risks related to the setting (including indoor or outdoor spaces)

I understand that not all risks can be anticipated or eliminated, even with reasonable care. I knowingly and freely accept and assume full responsibility for all known and unknown risks associated with my participation.

Medical and Mental Health Acknowledgment

I affirm that I am physically, mentally, and emotionally able to participate in the Experience. I have disclosed, or will disclose in writing, any medical, psychological, or emotional conditions that could affect my participation or safety.

I understand that certain medical or psychological conditions may increase the risks associated with breathwork and personal growth practices. I agree that I am participating based on my own assessment of readiness and responsibility.

I agree to promptly inform the organizers of any changes to my health or relevant conditions before or during the Experience.

Personal Responsibility

I understand that I am responsible for listening to my body, honoring my limits, and caring for my own well-being during and after the Experience. I agree to seek appropriate professional support if I experience challenges during or following participation.

Release of Liability

In consideration for being permitted to participate in the Experience, I release and discharge the organizers, facilitators, their businesses, staff, assistants, agents, volunteers, and affiliates (“Organizers”) from any and all claims or causes of action, whether known or unknown, arising out of or related to my participation.

This release includes, without limitation, claims related to:

• Physical, emotional, or psychological injury

• Illness or death

• Property loss or damage

• Errors in judgment, action, or inaction

I understand that by signing this Agreement, I am giving up my right to bring legal claims against the Organizers related to my participation.

Indemnification

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Organizers from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from my actions or omissions during the Experience.

Confidentiality

I agree to respect the privacy and confidentiality of the Experience and of other participants, including personal stories, identities, and shared experiences. I understand that confidentiality helps create a safe and supportive environment for everyone involved.

Post-Experience Care and Follow-Up

I understand that integration and support after the Experience are important. I agree to seek professional help if needed. I consent to reasonable follow-up contact related to the Experience and understand that I may opt out of future communications at any time.

Severability

If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining sections will continue in full force and effect.

Acknowledgment and Consent

I confirm that I have read this Agreement carefully, understand its contents, and sign it freely and voluntarily. I understand that this is a legal agreement and that I am waiving certain legal rights.
