​

Welcome to our Community of Care

​

It's an honor and a privilege to join with you for the greater good of each other and our community.  We embrace Fair Process,  which embraces clarity of expectation.  Please carefully consider each of the following guidelines to understand what we are responsible for.  If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask us for clarification.

 

1. All our services offer a money-back guarantee.  If you're not satisfied with an aspect of our service, please email us so we may respond.  We invite feedback so that we can constantly improve our offerings. 

 

2.  If a participant feels that participation in an activity may not be in their best interest, they are encouraged to let the instructor know quietly and leave the environment.  Afterward, please contact us via email so that we may consciously attend to your issue with your presence.

 

3.  All participation is entirely voluntary.   The benefits are due to your effort, education, participation, and work.  Our wellness and healing circles are not therapy, and we do not claim to be therapists.  

4.  Participation is done at your own risk.  Our instructors are rigorously trained and supervised to ensure your safety to every degree possible.  The Artists' Wellness Collaborative is not liable for any injury, theft, or damages.  

 

5.  Each participant is responsible for their belongings, safety, and well-being.  

6.  Please wear closed-toe, flat shoes at Jasmine Hill Retreat.  Bring warm clothing for night events.  Wear comfortable clothing, as it is an outdoor environment.

​

7. Because we are a family-oriented organization, and we sometimes invite our families to bring their children, no drug or alcohol use is permitted on our property or within our events.  We do, however, serve organic cacao and ayurvedic herbs,  (If you or someone you love struggles with any kind of addiction, we can direct you to many community resources).

​

8.  Persons suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be discreetly asked to leave our property.  

​

9.  All Artists' Wellness Collaborative payments must be made online before participation.  If you need to make a payment on the premises, you must do so 30 minutes before the beginning of our services, as the teachers do not have time to take your payment while they are teaching.  

                          

10. Please protect the privacy of others by refraining from photographing or recording during our events.  Photographs will only be taken with express permission of participants.  

​

11.  Please expressly let us know if you DO NOT want to be photographed.  We will inform our photographers of your decision, there is only respect for this wish.

​

12.  Understand that those providing healing experiences are trained and certified, but are not physicians or licensed by the State.   The treatment is alternative or complementary to healing arts services licensed by the state.  Artistic expression,  energy medicine, Cacao ceremony, yoga, and meditation are some of the practices we share. Ample evidence exists supporting the benefit of these modalities. 

​

13.  I  agree to resolve any issues through Restorative Practices, ie, talking circles and restorative conferences.  I agree to allow the group to repair harms and resolve conflict, rather than to involve outside governmental agencies or attorneys. 

 

14.  Effective upon signing, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, do hereby release and forever discharge Indigenous Recovery, Jasmine Hill Retreat, Artists’ Wellness Collaborative,  their agents, employees, successors, and assigns, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, affiliates, successors and assigns, and any persons, firms or corporations liable or who might be claimed to be liable, whether or not herein named, none of whom admit any liability to the undersigned, but all are expressly denying liability, from any claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, which I now have or may hereafter have, arising out of or in any way relating to all injuries and damages of any and every kind, to both person and property and also any injuries and damages that may develop in the future, as a result of or in any way relating to the following:

 

Optional: Potential injuries arising from activities may include but are not limited to: emotional distress, psychological distress, physical safety relating to fire, injury from movement or dancing, or any other possibility of distress or injury.

This Release may not be altered, amended, or modified except by a written document signed by both parties. 

 

Furthermore, this Release shall be binding upon the undersigned and his respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors, and assigns. This Release shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of California.
