Applies to: All events and services including wild sauna sessions, workshops, retreats, breathwork, cold-water or ice baths, yoga and movement, nature-based activities, and any related offerings (“Event(s)”).

1) Acceptance of these Terms

By booking, attending, or participating in any Event, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and Conditions. If booking on behalf of others, you confirm you have authority to accept these Terms for each participant and that each participant meets the eligibility requirements below.

2) Eligibility and Health

• Events may involve heat exposure, cold exposure, breathwork, physical movement, and outdoor terrain.
• You must be at least 18 years old, or accompanied by a parent/legal guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf.
• Participation is not suitable for some medical conditions, including but not limited to cardiovascular or respiratory issues, very low or high blood pressure, certain psychiatric conditions, pregnancy, or any condition where heat, cold, or breath retention may be unsafe.
• You are responsible for consulting a healthcare professional before attending. Participation is voluntary and at your own risk. Our Events are not medical treatment or advice.

3) Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge that participation carries inherent risks, including dehydration, burns, fainting, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, cold shock response, slips or falls, muscle strains, illness, disease transmission, and mental or emotional stress. You accept full responsibility for these risks.

4) Outdoor Access and Terrain

Access to wild sauna or outdoor Events is via public rights of way and natural terrain. Surfaces may be uneven, wet, or slippery. Appropriate outdoor footwear and caution are required. You are responsible for your own safety en route to and from the Event location.

5) Participant Responsibilities

7) Personal Property

You are responsible for your belongings. We are not liable for loss, theft, or damage to personal property at any time, including in changing areas or vehicles.

8) Release of Liability and Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release and discharge The Conscious Self Limited and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, contractors, and agents from any claims arising out of your participation in an Event, including travel to and from the Event and presence at the Event location. You agree to indemnify us against claims brought as a result of your actions or omissions that breach these Terms or our safety instructions.

Important legal carve-out (UK): Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

9) Conduct and Right to Refuse Participation

We may refuse entry, remove, or stop participation without refund if you:

• ignore safety instructions,
• are disruptive, abusive, or unsafe,
• appear intoxicated or unfit to participate, or
• present a risk to yourself or others.

10) Bookings, Transfers, and Cancellations

• Specific cancellation, transfer, and refund rules are set out on each Event listing or confirmation email. Those terms apply in addition to these Terms.
• If we must change, postpone, or cancel an Event for safety, weather, access, staffing, or other operational reasons, we will offer options such as transfer or refund as described on the Event listing or confirmation.

11) Weather, Environment, and Force Majeure

Outdoor Events are subject to weather and environmental conditions. We may adjust activities, schedules, or locations to keep participants safe. We are not liable for delays, changes, or cancellations caused by events outside our reasonable control.

12) Photography and Media

We may film or photograph Events for documentation and marketing. If you prefer not to be included, tell a team member on arrival and we will take reasonable steps to accommodate. You must not capture or share images of others who reasonably object.

Where minors are permitted, a parent or legal guardian must:

• attend or provide written consent as specified on the Event listing, and
• accept these Terms on the minor’s behalf.

15) Accessibility and Adjustments

We aim to be inclusive. Terrain, water access, and heat/cold elements can present barriers. Contact us before booking to discuss reasonable adjustments so we can advise on suitability and options.

16) Safety Notices Specific to Heat and Cold

• Sauna/heat: leave immediately if dizzy, nauseous, faint, or unwell. Cool down gradually and hydrate.
• Cold-water/ice baths: enter slowly, control your breathing, and exit if you feel numbness, chest pain, dizziness, or panic. Never enter open water alone.
