LIVE EVENT LIABILITY WAIVER
A copy of the below waiver must be read prior to the event you attend. By electronically ticking a checkbox on our order forms and purchasing our products and services you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.
RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AGREEMENT
Please carefully read the following terms and conditions related to your participation in Aston Simmonds Retreat (the “Workshop” or "Retreat") which is conducted by Aston Simmonds & Adam Simmonds. By registering for the Retreat at any one of the locations (“Facility”), you (the “Participant”) signify your acceptance of and obligation to these terms and conditions (the “Agreement”).
Participant Conduct & Responsibilities
Proprietor requires all Participants to be respectful and professional to our staff, location hosts, speakers, and other attendees and their guests or families throughout the Retreat, even during non-scheduled downtime and breaks. Proprietor reserves the right to ask Participant and/or their guests to leave the Facility immediately should they be deemed rude, uncooperative, unprofessional, intoxicated, or in possession of alcohol or any illegal substance. In such case, the Participant’s tuition/fees for the Retreat will not be reimbursed under any circumstances.
Liability Waiver
While we take every possible measure to ensure Participant safety at the Retreat, we cannot control everything. For this reason, Participant is legally responsible for their safety and behaviour and agrees to, and is held legally liable to, the following statements:
I, the willing Participant of the Retreat, hereby accept all risk to my health and of my injury or death that may result from participating in the Retreat and I hereby release Proprietor, and their officers, employees, interns, contractors, sponsors, and representatives from any and all liability to me, my personal representatives, estate, heirs, next of kin, and assigns for any and all claims and causes of action for loss of or damage to my property and for any and all illness or injury to my person, including my death, that may result from or occur during my participation at the Retreat, whether caused by negligence of the Proprietor, her officers, employees, representatives, or otherwise. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Proprietor and any third-party company from liability for the injury or death of any person(s) and damage to property that may result from my negligent or international act or omission while attending and participating in the Retreat. Under no circumstances will Proprietor or her assigns be held liable for my injury or death or any loss or damage of my personal belongings resulting from my participation in the Retreat. Should I require emergency medical treatment as a result of an accident or illness arising during my attendance and participation in the Retreat, I consent to such treatment. I acknowledge and I agree to be financially responsible for any medical or legal bills that may be incurred as a result of emergency medical treatment. I will notify Proprietor verbally and in writing if I am at any time injured prior to, during, or after the Retreat in my travels or attendance, or if I have medical conditions about which emergency medical personnel should be informed; however, I understand that Proprietor is not legally obligated to act on that information in any way or to providing any medical service whatsoever to me. I agree that if I have any medical or psychological conditions that may hamper me from fully and healthfully participating in the Retreat that I will notify the Proprietor and that the Proprietor retains the right to ask that I not participate in portions of or the entirety of the Retreat. I further agree to pay for all damages to the Facility of the Retreat caused by my or my guests’ negligent, reckless, or willful actions, and recognise that the Proprietor retains the right to dismiss me or my guests on the basis of these actions.
Liability Disclaimer: No Professional Advice
The information contained in or made available by the Proprietor, Aston Simmonds, or any third-party through the Retreat or their websites or services cannot replace or substitute for the services of trained professionals in any field, including, but not limited to, mental, financial, medical, psychological, or legal fields. Proprietor does not offer any professional personal, medical, financial, or legal advice and none of the information contained in the Retreat should be confused as such advice. Neither Proprietor, Aston Simmonds, nor her assigns, sponsors, speakers, partners, contractors or any of their affiliates will be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary, or other damages to the Participant or the Participant’s business, including economic loss, that may result from participation in the Retreat or from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials, information, or strategies communicated through the Retreat or any products or services provided pursuant to the Retreat even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, will the Proprietor be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from Participant’s involvement in the activities of the Retreat. To be clear: You, the Participant, alone are responsible and accountable for your decisions, actions and results in life, and by your participation in our Retreat, you agree not to attempt to hold us, the Proprietor, liable for any decisions, actions or results that you make or experience in business or in life due to your participation in this Retreat at any time, under any circumstance.
Audio/Visual Release By participating in the Retreat
Participant understands that portions of the Retreat’s live events may be recorded in video and audio and/or captured in still and/or digital photographs. Participant agrees that the Proprietor and her assigns have the right and permission to use such recordings and photographs should they include Participant’s name, likeness, voice, biographical details, testimonial, or photograph for marketing, advertising or any other purpose in any media or format, online and/or offline, now or hereafter without further compensation, permission, or notification to the Participant.

Proprietor owns all rights to any audio, video, and/or photograph captured during the Proprietor’s Retreat or at any time of the Proprietor’s other live events.
Breathwork
Breathwork is a powerful technique that combines a two-step breathing method with activating soundscapes to promote physical and spiritual transformation. It's a simple, safe, and highly effective process that can lead to breakthroughs and optimal wellness. However, it's important to note that this work is experiential and may involve intense physical, energetic, and emotional release. For this reason, individuals with a history of certain contraindications should consult their healthcare provider before participating in this work. These contraindications include cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, glaucoma, detached retina, kidney disease, severe asthma, osteoporosis, recent physical injuries or surgeries, severe mental illness (such as bipolar disorder or psychosis), seizure disorders, and aneurysms.
Pregnant women are advised not to participate in this work. However, if you're pregnant and interested in learning some softer, safer practices, please reach out to the facilitator. Individuals with asthma should bring their inhaler and consult with their primary care physician and Breathwork facilitator before participating. Additionally, individuals with infectious or communicable diseases such as Coronavirus or flu-like symptoms are asked to avoid attending a live, in-person class due to the nature of group breathing.
During Breathwork sessions, the facilitator may conduct bodywork through physical touch. Additionally, there may be photographers and videographers present to document the event. Event and venue locations can sometimes change due to unforeseen circumstances.
By participating in Breathwork, you assume full responsibility for any damages that may occur. The facilitator does not diagnose illness or disease, prescribe medical treatment or pharmaceuticals, or substitute for therapy or medical care. It's recommended that you work with your general practitioner for any condition you may have. By reading this, you agree to release and waive any claims you may have against the breathing facilitator/s.
Participating in a Conscious Connected Breathwork session includes connected, circular breath, physical movement, therapeutic touch and bodywork, meditation, sound, and release of emotions. Conscious connected breathwork provides an opportunity to release chronic muscular tension and allow for the free flow of energy in the body. Ultimately, you alone are responsible for deciding whether to participate in the session, and any participation is at your own risk.
Cacao
If you're interested in participating in Cacao ceremonies, it's important to consult a healthcare professional first if you have hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy, schizophrenia, or have had recent surgery under general anesthesia (within two weeks prior). Cacao contains monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and ceremonial doses can contraindicate with certain anti-depressants. Cacao is not a compulsory component of this event. If you have any of the above conditions and still wish to participate, you'll need to communicate with the facilitator beforehand, sign a waiver and release, and consult with a healthcare professional.
It's important to inform the facilitator if you have any of the following: pregnancy, asthma, recent injuries or surgeries, major health issues, psychiatric disorders, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy, or allergies to food or nuts (if you're doing Cacao ceremony). These conditions don't necessarily prevent you from attending the session, but it's crucial that the facilitator is aware of any conditions for the time you're under their care. They can fine-tune their work to benefit you, so you get the most out of the session safely.
Ice Baths
