Participation in the Retreat constitutes full acceptance of these terms.
2. Purpose of the Retreat
The Wellnest is a wellness and self-exploration retreat designed to offer opportunities for rest, nourishment, and self-guided healing. While the Retreat may incorporate practices that support emotional and mental well-being, it is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric care.
3. No Medical Services Provided
The Facilitator is not a licensed medical professional and does not offer any form of diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. Participants are solely responsible for their own physical, mental, and emotional health before, during, and after the Retreat.
If you have any medical or psychological conditions, it is your responsibility to consult with your healthcare provider prior to attending.
4. Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability
Participation in the Retreat is voluntary and may involve emotional, physical, or mental exertion. By attending, you acknowledge and accept any and all risks associated with participation, including (but not limited to) emotional distress, physical injury, allergic reactions, or other health issues.
By registering for the Retreat, you expressly agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless the Facilitator (Valina Lapointe), any assistants, employees, contractors, or representatives involved in the Retreat, from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action whatsoever, including those arising from negligence.
You understand and agree that the Facilitator cannot be held liable for any injury, loss, or damages, including but not limited to bodily injury, mental anguish, or property loss, incurred before, during, or after the Retreat.

Food and lodging are included in the Retreat. However, the Facilitator does not guarantee the accommodation of all dietary restrictions, allergies, or preferences. It is the Participant’s responsibility to communicate any dietary needs in advance and to take necessary precautions.
The Facilitator assumes no liability for any adverse reactions to food consumed or items one may come into contact with while staying at or participating in the Retreat.

Participants are responsible for their own well-being and personal boundaries at all times during the Retreat. The Retreat is designed as a self-guided journey, and while community activities may be offered, participation is entirely optional.
