Covid-19 Release Form
Our current circumstances are unprecedented. We are living through a pandemic for which at present there is no known cure and which could produce serious injury or even death. Fully Alive/Encounter Training appreciates the seriousness of our situation and would counsel anyone with health issues which makes them more susceptible to the Corona virus (Covid-19) to refrain from participation in this training.
We at Fully Alive/Encounter Training will do our best to observe basic precautions such as making masks and hand sanitizer available and encouraging social distancing. However, because of the nature of the training, circumstances will probably occur, which will make enforcement of these precautions impossible; and more importantly, this document places responsibility for these practices and your own health squarely upon the participants, including you.
