physical sensations (tingling, temperature shifts, shaking, vocalization, changes in breathing),
discomfort from prolonged lying down or movement,
changes in perception or sense of time.

I understand that any activity involving breathing patterns, body awareness, movement, emotional expression, or group environments carries inherent risks, including the risk of injury.

Voluntary participation and self-responsibility

I confirm:

My participation is voluntary and self-directed.
I am responsible for choosing my level of participation and for stopping if I feel unsafe.

Optional physical touch consent (in-person)

If physical touch is offered, I understand:

Touch is optional and only with explicit consent.
I may decline touch or withdraw consent at any time.

My consent choice (circle one):
I CONSENT to optional facilitator touch if offered and if I agree in the moment. / I DO NOT CONSENT to facilitator touch.

Medical and mental health emergency

I understand The Integration Flow is not equipped to provide medical or emergency mental health services. If I experience a serious adverse reaction, I authorize The Integration Flow to seek emergency assistance when reasonably necessary.

Release of liability and waiver of claims

To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, I hereby:

Assume all risks of participation in The Integration Flow services, including risks arising from my own condition, my choices, and inherent risks of the activity environment.
Release and hold harmless The Integration Flow, its owner, contractors, volunteers, venue partners (where applicable), and agents from claims and liabilities arising out of my participation, including claims based on alleged negligence, to the extent permitted by law.
