My release of liability in this section 2 specifically includes release of liability for any disease or medical condition that I may contract as a result of my participation in the Retreat.

Although participants are instructed to refrain from all forms of violence and intimidation, I understand and acknowledge that during the Retreat, I will be in close physical proximity to other participants who may act unpredictably, including without limitation exhibiting physical or verbal aggression toward me or other participants. I expressly assume the risk of any physical or emotional injuries I may suffer as a result of my participation in the Retreat.
