In consideration of my participation in a retreat jointly organized by RIMA and its associated events and activities (collectively referred to as the “Retreat”), and the services provided by RIMA, its agents, owners, officers, directors, volunteers, participants, employees, sponsors, affiliates, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on its behalf, as well as its successors and assigns (collectively referred to as “RIMA”), I, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and estate (collectively referred to as “Participant”), hereby agree to release, discharge, and hold harmless RIMA as follows:

1. Waiver of Liability and Release
Participant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits, and forever discharges RIMA from any and all liability, claims, demands, damages, expenses, lawsuits, or causes of action, whether known or unknown, present or future, which arise or may hereafter arise from or are in any way connected to Participant’s involvement in the Retreat. Participant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement fully discharges RIMA from any liability or claim that Participant may have against RIMA with respect to any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, emotional distress, psychological harm, or property damage that may result from Participant’s involvement in the Retreat, whether caused by the negligence, gross negligence, or intentional acts of RIMA, or otherwise.

These risks cannot be eliminated, altered, or controlled by RIMA, and Participant expressly assumes all such risks. “Risks” include, but are not limited to, those inherent in yoga activities, physical or bodywork activities, meditation, dietary practices, workshops, and backcountry or outdoor recreational activities, such as slips, falls, collisions, equipment failure, dehydration, exposure to extreme weather, encounters with wildlife, and all other hazards associated with such activities.

Participant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless RIMA from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, damages, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and causes of action, whether brought by Participant or a third party, which are in any way connected to Participant’s involvement in the Retreat or use of RIMA’s facilities, equipment, or services. This indemnification includes, without limitation, claims alleging negligent acts or omissions, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct by RIMA.

4. Medical Care and Release
Participant hereby releases and forever discharges RIMA from any liability, claims, or causes of action that arise or may hereafter arise from any first aid, medical treatment, or services rendered or not rendered in connection with Participant’s involvement in the Retreat.
