RELEASE AND WAIVER

I voluntarily desire to participate in the Personal Nourishment Retreat Experience (“Experience”) organized by Keri Nola of Path to Growth, LLC (the “Facilitator”). I understand that the Experience will involve an in-person, healing experience, including possible body work, aerial somatic therapy and pre-event and post-event coaching/mentoring/intuitive sessions via phone or video for the purposes of facilitating personal/professional growth, healing and transformation experiences using holistic methods. In exchange for participation in the Experience and/or use of the property, facilities, meals and services provided during the Experience, I agree to the following:

I take full and sole responsibility for my life, business, well-being and all decisions made before, during and after the Experience.

I acknowledge that I am choosing to participate voluntarily in various activities at the Experience and I recognize that these activities may contain certain inherent risks. These activities may include, but are not limited to: arts and crafts (creativity), group discussions, meditation, breathing exercises, guided imagery, spiritual work, journaling, dance/movement practice, aerial somatic therapy, nature activities, beach visits, swimming, meditative walks, physical activities, aromatherapy, energy work, massage, body work, chiropractic care, appropriate physical contact for the purposes of facilitating healing, intuitive readings, and other activities provided by the Facilitator/s, Event Sponsors, or others (collectively “Program Activities”).

I expressly assume the risks of the Experience and all Program Activities. I understand that I am responsible for my own transportation to/from the Experience, including any transportation during the Experience, and that all transportation is at my own risk and liability, even if the Facilitators provide suggestions, recommendations, discounts or offers related to transportation, hotels, and/or other accommodations.

I agree to observe and obey all posted and announced rules and warnings, and further agree to follow any instructions or directions given by the Facilitators, or their employees, representatives or agents. Specifically, I agree to refrain from consuming any alcohol or drugs of any kind during the duration of the Experience at any time, unless prescribed by a medical or mental health practitioner and consumed appropriately in accordance with the prescription dosage.

I understand that the information provided at or in conjunction with the Program Activities and Experience is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment that can be provided by my own physician, therapist, licensed dietitian or nutritionist, or any other licensed or registered mental or physical health care professional. I understand that the Facilitator/s and their employees, representatives and agents are not acting in any capacity as a medical or mental health care provider, unless you are currently in an established therapeutic relationship with Keri Nola which is bound by informed consent. I understand that they are not providing health care, medical or nutrition therapy services or attempting to diagnose, treat or cure in any manner whatsoever any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body during the course of the Retreat.

I understand that I may be provided with meals, snacks, and other products or services provided by or through the Facilitators, Event Sponsors or others while at the Experience and I agree to disclose to the Facilitators in advance any known or suspected food allergies or sensitivities, any physical limitations that may impact my breathing or movement, or any other health or mental condition that may be affected during the Experience. If I suspect that I have a medical or mental health problem, I agree to inform the Facilitators and their agents immediately.

I agree to seek the advice of my physician or another qualified health care professional prior to and during the Experience regarding any questions or concerns I have about my specific health situation, possible or actual pregnancy, known or suspected food sensitivities or allergies, dietary restrictions, or any medications I am currently taking. I understand that I am advised to speak with my own physician or mental health provider before attending the Experience or implementing any Program Activities. I agree to not disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice or stop taking any medications without speaking to my own physician or mental health care professional.

At any time before or during the Experience, should I know or feel that I may cause imminent harm to myself, other participants, the Facilitators, or any other person, I understand and agree that I am immediately obligated to let the Facilitators know, and to remove myself from the situation in a peaceful and cooperative manner; otherwise, I consent that I may be asked to not attend the Experience, leave the Experience, and/or have immediate physical or mental health care administered to avoid causing mental or physical harm to myself or others.

I consent to the application of first-aid or other medical or mental health services to be applied if needed in connection with an emergency health problem or potentially harmful situation during the Experience, and I agree to hold the Facilitators harmless as a result of any such injury or damage I may suffer due to the application of medical or mental health services or treatment.

I agree to pay for all damages to the facilities caused by any negligent, reckless, or willful action that I may take.

By participating in this Experience, I consent to photographs, videos, and/or audio recordings that may be made that may contain me, my voice and/or my likeness.

Aerial Somatic Therapy may be a part of your experience if you choose and below is specific information about this modality and it's risks and benefits for your consent.

I am looking forward to co-creating a beautifully sacred experience together in honor of your wholeness and alignment. Please read this below information carefully as it will share important information about this body of work you will be experiencing, including providing intentional disclaimers to ensure you are choosing to participate in Aerial Somatics from a place of sovereignty. 

What is Aerial Somatics?

Aerial Somatics is a mind-body-soul integration modality and is a process of integration aiming to create a sense of wholeness and alignment. This alignment can lead to improved mental and emotional well-being, physical health, a sense of inner peace, and a deeper connection to one’s life purpose and the Divine.

The central tool for the Aerial Somatics modality is a “somatic swing,” utilized by an entrained healing arts practitioner to facilitate transformational healing and nervous system regulation including deeper connection to self/other and optimal health and functioning.  The somatic swing is utilized to support the body, simulating a weightless womb-like experience allowing one to receive a transmission of safety and connection being held inside the cocoon of silk fabric. This opens the body system to natural unwinding of tension patterns revealing the spherical nature of reality.  This unwinding of the fascia system clears stored pain, stress and distortion patterns creating an experience of liberation in body and mind.

This innovative multi-dimensional modality utilizes principles of directed focus, fluid feedback and regenerative alignment in relationship with the pillars of gravity, fluid dynamics, tensegrity and entrainment. The suspended somatic swing technology allows for the harnessing of gravity and the other pillar forces for optimal embodied integration.

In an Aerial Somatics transformational healing session, clients are taken through a strategic and intuitive process of unwinding tension patterns within structural layers (muscle, fascia, joints, bones) of the body to create a dilation of the internal fluid pathways.

This experience can provide profound relaxation, body awareness, emotional regulation, resourcing, grounding, nervous system regulation, relational/attachment healing and trauma resolution.

The Aerial Somatics somatic swing practices integrate the art and science of effective healing modalities including Cranial Sacral Therapy, Thai Massage, Acro Yoga Therapeutics, Structural Integration and Somatic Bodywork and I weave in my expertise in shadow work, inner child healing, breathwork, energy/frequency medicine and abundance activation as appropriate in each session.

Each session is unique and organically unfolds based on the energy of the moment. 

Aerial Somatic work is slow, gentle, intentional and typically relaxing even though significant transformation is happening. It's not uncommon for there to be emotional release ranging from orgasmic bliss, to deep grief and/or sacred rage and it's also ok if you just feel content, neutral or possibly numb. Your body is wise and we honor it all.
