I, the undersigned, understand acknowledge these classes and practices use ancient healing techniques to reduce stress, and step into my full worth. I am aware that Melaina Gasbarrino (SALT to TREE - herein ‘the company’) will not prescribe substances, perform medical treatments or diagnose conditions, nor will the company interfere with any/all licensed medical professionals. If I have any physical or psychological alignment, the company recommends seeking treatment from a licensed medical professional.

I hereby agree to the following:

This Liability Waiver and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by the undersigned participant (“Participant”) and Melaina Gasbarrino (the “Organizer”) in connection with participation in the yoga retreat held at The Royal Hotel in Picton, Ontario (the “Retreat”).

Acknowledgment of Risk
I, the undersigned, understand the benefits of receiving energy healing through sound bath meditations, reiki, yoga, etc., and am open to receiving the transformations felt by these practices. Through a sound bath meditation, I am aware that sound, vibration, and intention invite me to move from a waking state of consciousness (beta) to a highly relaxed state (alpha, theta, and delta). In this relaxed state, an individual's innate healing abilities can function more effectively, promoting optimal vibrational alignment and enhancing overall health and well-being.
