7. Confidentiality & Community

Confidentiality is foundational at Borderlands.

What is shared within the container is not to be carried outside it. Stories, experiences, and expressions are received here, digested here, and held with respect. This applies to words spoken, emotions expressed, and moments witnessed.

Participants are welcome to reflect on their own experience after the retreat, but not to share or identify another person’s story.

Borderlands may document retreats through photographs or video for archival, learning, or communication purposes. Any identifiable use will be respectful, consent-aware, and aligned with the spirit of the work. If you have specific concerns around visibility or use, please raise them in advance so we can accommodate where possible.

This shared commitment to confidentiality and care is what allows trust, depth, and real presence to emerge within the group.

Borderlands reserves the right to remove a participant from the retreat, without refund, if their behaviour is deemed unsafe, disruptive, or in violation of the spirit of the container, as assessed by the facilitators.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borderlands, its facilitators, and organisers shall not be held liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from participation, except where required by law.

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of India.
