Breathwork Waiver

I have voluntarily enrolled in this Breathwork experience. I understand that I am under no obligation of any kind to participate in this Breathwork experience and I voluntarily enter into this Waiver and Release of Liability. I understand that I may decline to do any of the activities within the experience, and I agree to keep confidential any comments, shares or experiences by/of other participants.

I understand that Breathwork is a personal growth experience designed to enhance quality of life, and is not a substitute for psychotherapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure or treat any mental disorder or medical disease. I understand that I am responsible for creating and implementing my own physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, decisions, choices, actions, and results. As such, I agree that the Breathwork facilitator(s) is not and will not be liable for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of services provided by the Facilitator(s). I understand that this Breathwork experience is not medically supervised and that Mark Britton is neither a licensed psychotherapist nor a licensed medical professional and that breathwork a not a substitute for any medical diagnosis or medical treatment.

I understand that this Breathwork experience will involve strong full continuous breathing that is faster and deeper than normal over a prolonged period and may include guided physically intense meditations, all of which can cause dizziness, palpitations, tingling/numbness of the extremities, carpopedal spasms (involuntary contractions of the muscles of the hands and feet), ringing/roaring in the ears, clouded/distorted vision, perceptual distortions, and feelings of lightness, astonishment and/or euphoria. Physical activities can include violent twisting and turning while prostate or sitting, and other exertions not ordinarily experienced in everyday life. I understand that Breathwork can involve dramatic experiences accompanied by strong emotional and physical responses or releases. Loud music is also used with the described activities.

I understand that I might find Breathwork physically, emotionally and/or mentally stressful. I hereby affirm that I am in good health and able to participate in this activity.

Also, if I have asthma, I will have access to my inhaler for the entirety of the experience. If you have any doubt about whether you should participate, consult your doctor or therapist as well as a Facilitator before attending.

I have hereby been advised that I should talk to my doctor and/or (psycho)therapist if I had any questions about my physical or mental ability to safely participate in this chosen activity. If I have been diagnosed with PTSD and am currently in therapy, the approval of my therapist is required before participating. If I have chosen not to obtain a doctor's consent prior to my participation in Breathwork, I hereby agree that I am doing so solely at my own risk. I understand that is my sole responsibility to participate in activities that are appropriate for the current status of my health and to modify any particular Breathwork activity to accommodate my own needs or limitations.

I agree that if there is any change in this representation, I will promptly advise the Facilitator(s). If I have any questions or concerns about whether or not a particular activity is appropriate to my current health status, I understand it is my responsibility to ask my doctor before I participate in such activity.
