(dba Silo Wellness), an Oregon corporation, and its, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents and assigns (the "Company") at or near Jamaica, and surrounding areas. Furthermore, I desire to participate in psilocybin mushroom sessions, as particularized in the marketing material, and acknowledge that no medical treatment or psychotherapy is offered or will be available at the retreat; and that the psychedelic mushrooms available for sale together with this retreat do not and will not cure or mitigate any physical or mental disease, symptoms, disorders or abnormalities. As lawful consideration for being permitted by the Company to engage in the Activity and/or the intangible value that I will gain by participating in the Activity, I agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this "Agreement"). Assumption of Risks. I am aware and understand that the Activity is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, disability, death, or property damage and other potential risks described herein (the “Risks”). I acknowledge that I will be consuming food and drink from various establishments and restaurants while taking part in the Activity, and I understand that the Company makes no guarantees, representations or warranties, whether express or implied, regarding any food or drink I may consume. Any ill effect from any food or drink or mushroom or mushroom extract, including but not limited to food poisoning, intoxication, sickness, or allergic reaction shall not be the fault or responsibility of the Company. I expressly and voluntarily assume any risk related to the consumption of mushrooms, mushroom extracts, food or drink during the Activity. I am also aware of the highly contagious nature of bacterial and viral diseases including the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) (the "Disease") and the risk that I may be exposed to or contract the Disease or other infectious diseases by engaging in the Activity, which may result in serious illness, personal injury, disability, death, or property damage. I am aware and understand that the consumption of psychedelic mushrooms is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, disability, death, or property damage and other potential risks and side effects described herein (the “Mushroom Risks”). I understand and acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of Company employees or others, including negligent emergency response or rescue operations of the Company. I understand that while the Company has implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity, consuming psychedelic mushrooms and related activities, and the spread of the Disease, the Company cannot guarantee that I will not be injured or become infected with the Disease due to my participation in the Activity. Risks, include but are not limited to the following: given the remoteness and access to emergency care access to treatment from the result of any mishap could be significantly delayed exacerbating any medical or health problem; guide or leader decision making while hiking, snorkeling, swimming, walking, or participating in other retreat Activities, including that a staff member may misjudge terrain, weather, trail or water conditions, and water level; risks of drowning and such other risks, hazards and dangers that are integral to recreational activities that take place on the island in an outdoor or recreational environment; slip and fall risks at the Resort or while on excursions, such as failure of the resort to adequately maintain or inspect the property, misjudging uneven ground, slippery conditions, steepness of slope or even misjudging my own competence and abilities; risks of equipment failure; wet conditions. Mushroom Risks and potential side effects include upset stomach and vomiting; intensified feelings and sensory experiences; changes in sense of time (for example, time passing by slowly); increased blood pressure, breathing rate, or body temperature; loss of appetite; dry mouth; sleep problems; mixed senses (such as "seeing" sounds or "hearing" colors); spiritual experiences; feelings of relaxation or detachment from self/environment; uncoordinated movements; lowered inhibition; excessive sweating; panic; paranoia - extreme and unreasonable distrust of others; psychosis - disordered thinking detached from reality. Larger psilocybin doses can lead to intense hallucinogenic effects over a longer period of time. An intense “trip” episode may occur, which may involve panic, paranoia, psychosis, frightful visualizations ("bad trip"), and very rarely death. Memory of a "bad trip" can last a lifetime. By my participation in these Activities and/or use of equipment, I hereby assume ALL risks and dangers and all responsibility for any losses and/or damages whether caused in whole or in part by the negligence or other conduct of the owners, agents, officers, or employees of the Company, or by another person. Furthermore, if I do not feel safe or have any misgivings about a given Activity or excursion, I acknowledge I have a choice whether or not to voluntarily participate, and I agree not to participate and also agree to immediately express any misgivings or concerns to a staff member or retreat leader. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. I HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM MY ENGAGING IN THE ACTIVITY, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANY OR OTHERWISE. Waiver of Liability and Warranties. I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims which I have or may in future have, against the Company, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates, shareholders, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), on account of injury, illness, disability, death, or property damage arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activity, whether arising out of the negligence of the Company, the Resort, retreat staff, their agents or employees or any other Releasee or otherwise, including without limitation, breach of contract, tort including but not limited to negligence or breach of any statutory or other duty of care or purported duty of care. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. I further waive all warranties implied or express under the Jamaican Sale of Goods Act pertaining to the psychedelic mushrooms or other goods purchased by me at the retreat.

I also agree that I have a duty disclose these symptoms and/or contact with any infected individuals that occur following execution of this document but prior to the retreat. I will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to the Activity and the Disease while participating in the Activity, including, without limitation, requirements related to hand sanitation, social and physical distancing, and use of face coverings and safety equipment. I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of the Company at all times during the Activity.
