Pre-Travel Health & Safety and During-Retreat Responsibilities

Verde Retreat is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all participants. However, your well-being ultimately rests on your own shoulders. Here's how we can work together:

Prior to Travel:

  • Consult Your Physician: Schedule an appointment with your doctor at least 4-6 weeks before departure. Discuss your travel plans and ensure you are up-to-date on vaccinations. Your doctor can offer personalized health advice specific to your needs and the retreat location.

During the Retreat:

  • Personal Responsibility: You are responsible for your own health and well-being during the retreat.

  • Physician Consultation Recommended: Before participating in any physical activities, we recommend talking to a physician or Verde staff member if you have any concerns about your fitness level or pre-existing medical conditions.

  • Disclosure of Medical Conditions: We encourage you to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions to Verde staff upon registration. This information helps us cater to your needs and ensure a safe environment for everyone.

By taking these steps proactively, you can help ensure a healthy and transformative retreat experience.
