Much of this work will be done by myself without direct supervision. I am aware of the risk to my health, I accept it and agree to take full responsibility over my own safety. I declare that Mata House, its founder, and any related person or organization are not liable to any injuries that may occur by my joining this work, to me or others, and that this does not constitute any work or employment relation between us. I understand that I have the duty to refuse any task that I find dangerous, and that any task I accept I do so freely, with no coersion. I forgo any liability or suit against any other person or organization. Yes NoMata House is a healing place, but it is not a therapeutical community. Each person is responsible for their physical, emotional and mental state. Do you agree to take complete responsibility for yourself, your actions and your well-being? Yes NoMata House is not just working in a farm. It’s not about having a nice vacation (although that might happen too). It’s about transformation, self-discovery, and self-awareness. It’s safe, but in can be challenging. Do you accept this? Do you agree to learn about yourself? Yes NoToday’s political landscape has become aggressive and divisive. We at Mata House work outside the old dichotomies and divisions, and believe they have no place in the future we are trying to create.
