Terms and Conditions
*
By signing below I certify, agree to, and affirm the following:
I understand that Breathwork, Energy Healing/Energy Medicine/Energy Alchemy/Energy Work are complementary healing modalities that in no way substitute for medical interventions, body therapy, or psychotherapy. I also understand that Jessica Ricchetti may make suggestions for self-care as well as appropriate referrals.
I understand that Jessica Ricchetti does not diagnose, treat, or cure and I will not misconstrue any information to be identified as such. I acknowledge that an open communication is promoted between myself and Jessica Ricchetti to enhance a mutual understanding and acceptance of the energy work provided during the treatment setting.
I further understand that there are numerous benefits possible through Energy Healing/Energy Medicine/Energy Alchemy/Energy Work, such as spiritual expansion, diminished pain sensation, healing, transformation, increased relaxation, and enhanced sense of well-being. These effects may vary depending on each individual’s response patterns. I hold Jessica Ricchetti harmless from any possible effects that may cause physical or emotional discomfort and agree to take full responsibility for my self-care and personal development.
I know that this journey will involve deep psychic explorations, breathwork, body movement, and energy movement that may push my edges at moments. I will remain self-responsible to know my limits and not exceed them. If a practice is suggested that may push beyond my limits, I will remain self-responsible to stop or modify the practice. I am in control of my own body and I can always “stop” at any time.
I certify that I do not have any injuries, illnesses, diseases, and/or health concerns including and not limited to physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual health that would prevent me from participating in this retreat. If I have any question about this, I know that it is my responsibility to consult with a licensed medical practitioner prior to the retreat. I will seek professional help if needed. I will advise Jessica Ricchetti of any mental or physical health conditions, medications, concerns, and dietary requirements upon signing of this agreement.
If I have health conditions, dietary requirements, or am taking any medication that may be affected by the activities offered on our retreats, I know that Jessica Ricchetti reserves the right to advise me to desist and in the interests of my wellbeing, or others, she may decline my stay at the retreat. Jessica Ricchetti is not liable for any medical or psychiatric conditions, which may develop or worsen during or subsequent to the retreat. I also acknowledge that it is not the responsibility of Jessica Ricchetti to advise me in regards to my health or well-being, as she is not a medical nor psychiatric practitioner.
I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my own self-care & well-being. I affirm that I am of sound mental health to make such an agreement.
I know that I can choose to withdraw from any experience at any time without judgement.
I know that this is a sacred space of deep energetic transmission. I know there is a possibility for triggering intense emotions, memories, and experiences. If I am feeling triggered, I know that it is safe to consciously bring it to Jessica Ricchetti and to the circle space, and I will remain in responsibility for my own being.
I am aware that I am responsible to uphold the agreements within this waiver as well as our circle agreements. If Jessica Ricchetti feels that I have violated the agreements or that I have not disclosed information truthfully on my registration form or waiver, she has the right to ask me to leave or remove me from the retreat at any point for any reason.
If I am or become pregnant, I will inform Jessica Ricchetti prior to the retreat, and/or upon signing this agreement, as well as at any time pregnancy status changes.
Whilst all measures are taken to ensure a high standard of health and safety, I know that we are situated in the mountains where the land is uneven. I hold harmless both Jessica Ricchetti, the ChakraSamvara center, and all associated persons, for any injuries caused by uneven terrain.

The retreat house may be left unlocked at any time, and it is my own responsibility to ensure that my possessions are kept safe. I will consider leaving valuables at home or locked in my vehicle if this is a concern.
