This agreement is between Atman Rising(the Organizer) and You (the Participant).
By booking a Workshop with Atman Rising you agree to all of the following items listed:
The Participant agrees to take part in medicinal plant ceremonies with the organizer, has been advised that Huachuma, Ayahuasca or Bufo Alvarius are visionary earth medicines, and is clear on the meaning of this.
The organizer will do their utmost to ensure the safety and comfort of the Participant within the remit of the retreat. The Participant, in turn, agrees to exercise caution and consideration for themselves and for others during this event, and indemnifies the organizer against claims for injury or loss.
The Participant agrees to respect all individuals at all times. Overt negativity or disruptive negativity detracts from the experience of the others.
The organizer reserves the right to expel any individual who is acting in an excessively negative manner or disrupting the group, staff, and/or shamans, without prior notice, responsibility for a refund, or providing accommodation outside of the Atman Rising venue.
If a Participant’s behavior presents a threat to the safety of themselves or others, the organizer reserves the right to physically restrain the Participant and/or expel them from the retreat without prior notice, responsibility for a refund, or providing accommodation outside of the Atman Rising venue. Restraint will be conducted as gently as possible and with respect for the dignity of the Participant.
Sexual activity between Participants and/or staff is prohibited. This includes married couples. Should a Participant develop a sexual or romantic interest in another person, any sexual contact/activity must be delayed for one week after the last ceremony. As a reminder, we are not attempting to create a moral or philosophical boundary but preventing the potentially dangerous crossing of energetic fields, which can result from sexual behavior while engaged in ceremonies. The Participant agrees to maintain sexual abstinence for one week before the first and one week after the last ceremony.
The Participant, prior to entry into this Agreement, agrees to obtain health or medical advice as to the effect of plants singly and in combination with any medication they are taking.

The Participant agrees to notify the organizer of any change in their medical circumstances and understands that withholding medical information could be hazardous to their health.
