In consideration of the services of Mesquite Garden, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Mesquite Garden"), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge Mesquite Garden, on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative, and estate as follows:

I acknowledge that my participation in retreat activities involves known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, but are not limited to:

• Exposing past and/or current trauma
• Discussing "trigger warning" topics
• Physical manifestations of unknown emotional wounds
• Physical injury due to yoga and other movement activities

Purchase of this retreat requires agreement to the following:

1. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all risks associated with this experience.
2. My participation in this experience is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate despite the risks.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mesquite Garden from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action related to my participation in this experience or my use of Mesquite Garden equipment or facilities, including claims alleging negligence.
4. Should Mesquite Garden, or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating. If I do not have such insurance, I agree to bear the costs myself. I also acknowledge that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.
6. If I file a lawsuit against Mesquite Garden, I agree to do so solely in the state of California, and that California law shall apply. If any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

By providing my signature on the reservation form, I acknowledge that if I am injured or my property is damaged during my participation, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against Mesquite Garden based on any claim from which I have released them.

By signing this reservation form, I confirm that:

1. I am aware of and understand the potential hazards and risks.
2. I voluntarily choose to participate.

I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.

The undersigned hereby releases and discharges Mesquite Garden, its faculty, staff, administrators, trustees, and employees from all claims, demands, and causes of action, whether known or unknown, arising from participation in the above-stated program.
