PAIRS is an educational program. It is not intended as therapy or treatment, or to replace therapy or treatment. The PAIRS workshops include a selection of educational, illuminating and often humorous experiences. At times, some highly charged emotional experiences may occur. The material presented in PAIRS may involve such emotions as anger, sadness, or desire. These experiences are included because it is part of the stated goals of PAIRS to expand options for understanding, pleasure and intimacy so that participants may develop their range of emotions in order to increase emotional and physical intimacy with their partner. It is always the option of each individual to choose to participate in any of the exercises offered, or to choose not to participate.
PAIRS Foundation, our officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors and/or service providers exercise no control over the actions of individual Providers in individual courses taught in whole or in part using PAIRS materials provided by PAIRS. PAIRS assumes no liability for the actions of individual instructors. The Provider(s) recognizes his/her/their individual liability made upon him/her/them by any participant. The manner in which the course materials are presented, and the way which the emotions and responses elicited from participants are handled, are at the sole discretion of the individual instructor and the participant, and in no way reflect upon PAIRS and its teachings.
As a participant, I acknowledge that my experience in PAIRS, in whole or in part, may engender new perceptions and a range of emotions that at times may include uncomfortable emotions. I understand that the exercises are designed to expand perceptions and to facilitate the development of a range of emotions including pleasure, joy, love, pain, fear and anger on behalf of an enhanced capacity for empathy and mutual understanding. At times, I may experience uncomfortable, as well as pleasurable, feelings. I voluntarily choose to participate in this program, and I agree to hold PAIRS and the Provider(s) of the PAIRS programs in which I participate harmless against any claims related to my experience in PAIRS programs. I understand that the instructor may audio or video tape class lectures, which may be submitted to PAIRS for quality and/or research purposes. Such audio and video tapes will not identify participants in any way.
I clearly understand that it is always my choice as to whether to participate in the experiences offered.
