A Lotus Seed Retreat

Informed consent

While attending A Lotus Seed Retreat, your well-being and safety is important to us.

The team is there to facilitate only. We ask you to monitor your own physical and

emotional wellbeing during our events. By attending any of our events, you agree by

the below statements:

I am participating to a Lotus Seed Retreat and the program of my own free will and

accept total responsibility for my physical and emotional wellbeing at all times.

I am in good state emotional, mental and physical health. I am fully

responsible for all the emotions that I bring to any of the events.

• I am not under the influence of any drugs, medication or alcohol. If I am taking

medication, I declare that I have informed A Lotus Seed organization in written

through the sign-up form. I declare I will not discontinue the

medication treatment before, during or after the retreat. I have been seen by a

medical practitioner and have been advised that my participation in A Lotus

Seed Retreat, will not cause me harm of any way (to myself or anyone else).

• I understand that A Lotus Seed Retreat and the mindfulness-compassion-yoga

program is not a substitute for psychiatric or medical advice, diagnosis, and

treatment of any type. Always seek the advice of your physician or other

qualified mental health provider with any questions you may have regarding a

medical or mental condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or

delay in seeking it because of something you have read on our site, articles,

email or during any of our events.

• I take full responsibility for seeking medical treatment, counseling or psychotherapy

at my own cost for any emotional issues that arise during or after the event.

• I know that the program on the retreat is a skills-training in meditation, positive

psychology, compassion, and mindfulness techniques and yoga. I understand

that in case I feel the inability, or I think that it is not advisable, to make use of

the techniques or exercises in this training program, I can simply decide to

dispense or not participate to the exercises. I understand that I cannot put A

Lotus Seed, or the trainers, accountable for any negative consequences.

• If at any time during the event you become distressed and emotionally

overwhelmed, I will inform one of the facilitators and leave the room if I feel the

necessity.

We are all here to learn more about holistic healing together as a team, and we will

encourage each other to create an environment conducive to learning. To have a

constructive and useful outcome to our events (classes/ retreats), I will work

with the group to achieve that.

• I will do my best to be honest and true to self and others. I will be non-judgmental

when commenting, have respect for my own and other experiences, needs and

priorities and expect the same in return.

• I will express any issues or concerns that I have about the event (course/ retreat),

content or processes to the team members rather than keeping silent or only

talking to other participants.

• The personal feelings expressed by others in the event (course/ retreat) are kept in

confidence. It is crucial that you maintain the confidentiality hence:

• Any information that is discussed by the group is kept private.

• I will not directly or indirectly communicate or disclose in writing or orally or

in any other manner, any information that is stated by another member

of the group during or after the event.

• I will always talk from the first person from ‘I and my’ during sharing

experience and discussion.

• I will use the information presented during this event to assist me in creating

change in my life and for no other purpose and I am responsible for decisions

made or action taken to implement such information, mentoring or guidance.

I informed A Lotus Seed and the team members in advance in case that I have a special diet. I

understand that A Lotus Seed will not assume any liability for

adverse reaction to foods consumed.

I understand that the course materials provided (booklet, audio mp3’s) are free to download for

my own purpose. I understand it is not allowed to use any of these materials/texts/audio outside

of private use, or distribute, share or send it to others.

Retreat package and Insurance

The package price for the entire retreat includes the entire program tuition (classes

and yoga), and accommodation for the entire duration of the retreat.

The price does not include transportation and transfers to and from the retreat as well

as travel insurances of any kind. Since flights, trains and car rentals are not

included in the price, a personal travel insurance is necessary.

I understand that A Lotus Seed, or its facilitators and trainers, cannot be liable for any

accidents or injuries, or damages, of any kind, which can occur during A

Lotus Seed Retreat.

I understand that A Lotus Seed is no travel agency and I will

therefore ensure to have my own travel insurances. I became aware of the cancellation policies

on the site.
