If you decide to participate in a retreat, it signifies that you agree to the terms and conditions outlined below.
"Organizers" refers to Erik Hendrick and Nilda Quispe, members of the Sapan Inka Retreat Center. And "Participant" refers to any person who makes a reservation to participate in a retreat.
1. The organizers reserve the right to accept or reject the reservation of any participant at any time.
2. Participants acknowledge that the organizers are psychologists and psychotherapists.
3. Participants agree to participate voluntarily and under their complete responsibility in the retreat and in the ceremonies with visionary plants. They acknowledge being aware that these plants are psychoactive and psychedelic substances and that their action modifies the state of consciousness, and participants are fully responsible for any consequences due to the use of visionary plants. They accept that the process guides are not responsible for the results of the use of master plants, whatever the outcome.
4. The organizers will do their best to provide safety and comfort to participants during the retreat; for their part, participants must agree to take care of themselves and respect other participants during their stay at the retreat house. Participants are fully responsible for themselves and accept that the organizers are not responsible for possible injuries, physical damage, losses, or any other type of inconvenience.
5. Upon completing the retreat payment, on the first day of the retreat, after the first informational talk, participants agree to fully accept the method and manner or style of work of the organizers. The organizers are not responsible if participants, at the end of the retreat, feel that their expectations have not been met. If participants are not satisfied with the work done by the organizers during the retreat, participants are not entitled to any claim or refund. For their part, the organizers commit to working in a completely ethical and professional manner.
6. On the first day of the retreat, we conduct in-depth and confidential individual interviews with each participant. If the guides feel that an individual is not prepared to participate in the retreat, unfortunately, the organizers have the right to decide that the person does not participate in the retreat and their reservation deposit will be fully refunded without any right to claim. If this happens, we will arrange a car to return them to the same place where we picked them up.
7. Participants agree to disclose all details of their medical condition and any medication in use, and if applicable, must report any changes in this regard and must report the use of any medication during the retreat. Participants who decide to use any medication during the retreat days are fully responsible for any consequences that occur to their health or integrity. The use of some medications is contraindicated due to interactions with ayahuasca. If a participant uses any medication during the retreat days without informing the organizer, this may be cause for expulsion from the retreat without any right to a refund.
8. The organizers recommend that participants inform themselves as much as possible regarding the use of visionary plants and their interactions with medications in use. The responsibility to take precautions and to gather professional medical information lies solely with the participant.
9. Participants declare that they are in appropriate physical and mental conditions to participate in a retreat with visionary plants, and declare that they agree to participate at their own risk and responsibility. Participants agree not to hold the organizers responsible for the results of the use of visionary plants.
10. Participants have the option to participate or not in any of the ceremonies offered at the Sapan Inka Retreat Center. They declare that their participation in the ceremonies is completely voluntary and that they are fully responsible for their actions and decisions. If participants do not participate in one or more ceremonies, they are not entitled to any type of refund.
11. The organizers are responsible for everything offered on our website regarding what the retreats include: transportation, food, lodging, and participation in ceremonies with medicinal plants. The organizers are not responsible for expenses that participants have outside of the programs offered.
12. If any participant decides to leave the retreat before it concludes, for any reason, no type of refund or return will be made, even if the participant did not participate in the ceremonies.
13. Participants must respect the organizers and all people who participate in the retreat. Participants agree not to engage in aggressive or violent behavior, verbally or physically. We reserve the right to expel any participant who is acting negatively, affecting themselves, the group, and/or the process guides. If the organizer decides to expel any participant, the participant will not have the right to any type of refund. By accepting these terms, the participant agrees to fully respect the decision made by the organizer regarding an expulsion.
14. No alcoholic beverages are to be consumed at the retreat house or outside the house during the retreat days. If it is detected that a person has been consuming any alcoholic beverage or using any drug (marijuana, cocaine, opium, heroin, etc.) during the retreat days, it will be considered an act of harm against themselves and this action will be considered grounds for expulsion without any right to claim or refund.
15. If during the retreat days any participant exhibits behavior that affects themselves or other participants, we reserve the right to physically restrain the participant or expel them from the retreat. The restraint will be carried out in the most cordial manner possible and with the utmost respect for the guest's dignity. In case the participant is expelled from the retreat, there is no right to any type of refund.
16. In case of a medical emergency, such as intestinal fever, bone fracture, high fever, etc., the participant will be accompanied to a clinic in Cusco. The organizers are not responsible for the consequences of medical emergencies. All clinic expenses will be paid by the participant.
