agreement

We created these agreements based on our experience with past guests of what contributes to a transformational experience. They are designed for both your benefit and that of the group. Please read each one and sign the checkbox above.

Participation

I understand every class is optional but 70% overall participation is required. Lack of participation means that I will not evolve at the same rate as other guests which affects the group dynamic.

I will be responsible for my schedule and be on time. I understand that there is a 5 minute grace period, after that I forfeit my session/workshop/class.

I understand that I am responsible for my session times and re:treat staff are unable to change session times for me. It is possible to switch session times with other guests. I understand that I must sleep onsite unless there is an extenuating circumstance.

I understand that I am free to leave the villa when I wish but too much distraction from the outside world does hinder results. The most successful guests made the program their number one priority.

Respect

I understand that the container we create as a group is vital to success within the program. It is important to have the opportunity to be vulnerable and do deep work while being supported. I am conscious about what I am bringing into this container. I will agree to avoid bringing gossip, negativity, criticism, dumping, fear and projection. I will strive to bring more love, support, non-judgment, and openness for myself and others.

I realize that irritation or feeling triggered by members of the group is part of the human experience. Each trigger is a healing opportunity.

II understand that abuse or harassment in any form (as deemed by management) towards staff or guests will not be tolerated, the offending guest will be removed from the program immediately.

Responsibility

I understand that re:treat does not aim to diagnose, solve or fix conditions and this is not a passive program. I am responsible for my participation and results. This is because we do not see people as broken and have to be fixed. People are much more than their past, labels or limitations. We provide a structured supportive and sometimes challenging program focussed on self-empowerment that allows guests to learn, to explore, to ask questions for themselves and to rediscover for themselves.

I understand this program is not a resort. I understand that if I would like staff to meet my every whim and request, an all inclusive resort would be a much better option for me.

I understand that the goal of the program is not to keep me happy at all times. I understand that feeling, healing and new experiences can be magical and blissful but at other times feel the opposite. I understand sometimes I may feel uncomfortable as behaviors, beliefs and physiology change. For hygiene reasons, my assigned yoga mat is in my room, I will bring it to all movement classes and clean it as frequently as desired.

Food

I understand personalized meal plans are not provided. Food is served buffet style so I get to choose what I want. Meals are available for one hour, if I miss meal time (self responsibility for schedule) there are snacks in the fridge. If I know I am going to miss a meal, I will give the kitchen 2 hours notice to avoid food waste. I will not pick up the food from the buffet with my hands because I want to be hygienic and respect the other guests.

Alcohol/Drugs

I understand that there is a zero tolerance alcohol and drug policy onsite AND offsite (unless approved by a healthcare practitioner) for your safety and the safety of the staff and others in the group. Our modalities do not work when in an altered state of mind. ANY use of alcohol or drugs is grounds for removal from the program immediately.

If I can’t abstain from drugs or alcohol for 8 days, a rehab style program would be a better fit. If I must drink alcohol socially, a resort would be a better fit.
