Liability and Safety Agreements for PeakStates™ and Whole-Hearted Healing™ Training

These are the agreements that our students sign before the start of the Basic PeakStates or Basic Whole-Hearted Healing training. We've put them on the web so that prospective students can read them before committing to talking the training. There are several, very important conditions to the material being taught, and they should be considered before starting the training. In addition, we do not accept students with certain medical or psychological conditions that would make it unsafe for them to attend the workshop - as is covered in the form that has the student 'List any potentially dangerous health conditions' below. We rarely tape or video the workshops, but if so, students are encouraged to decide if they would be willing to allow us to film or record them - it isn't required for the class. It just helps other people who might be able to learn from the student's experience.

Basic PeakStates Professional Training
STUDENT DISCLAIMER OF RESPONSIBILITY AGREEMENT
Revision 2.0

Intent: The material that you will be learning is state of the art and still very experimental. Long-term effects, if any, have not been studied or researched. Thus, we cannot guarantee that you or the people you work with will not have some sort of adverse reaction that we did not anticipate. If you are not willing to take full and complete responsibility for what happens by using our material we require that you not start with the training or private session, and a full refund excluding deposit will be returned to you if one was made. This is all common sense given the nature of our material, but we want to make it perfectly explicit up front.

I (Print name),


located at the address,



do agree to the following:
1. I take complete responsibility for my own emotional and/or physical well being both during and after this workshop or private session.
2. I agree to instruct others whom I help with the Institute techniques to take complete responsibility for their emotional and/or physical well being.
3. I agree to hold harmless the Institute For The Study of Peak States, anyone associated with the Institute now, in the past or in the future, and anyone else involved with these Institute techniques from any claims made by anyone whom I seek to help with these techniques including myself.
4. I will use the techniques under the supervision of a qualified therapist or physician as legally appropriate.
5. I will not use these techniques to try to solve a problem where common sense would tell me that it is not appropriate.
6. On techniques not yet released to the public, I agree to not teach them to others in consideration for their safety.
7. I understand that several of the processes and techniques in this manual are proprietary or patent protected. I will use these with clients only after becoming certified by the Institute and signing a license agreement with the Institute.
8. I agree to NOT use any of the techniques in this manual that haven’t been released to the public on anyone (other than students who have also taken the training) if I am not certified to do so by the Institute for the Study of Peak States.
