Never surrender your passport, your money, your computer or telephone to anyone. All that is yours. So is your privacy.
Arrange for someone to pick you up at the end of the retreat and who can also arrive if you decide to leave early. If that person cannot get hold of you, he or she must contact the authorities.
Note: you have the right to leave at any time.
Leaving is learning. You are not a failure.
Anyone who compels you to remain against your will is violating your civil and human rights - this is illegal detention and it is against the law.
You owe no one any explanation why you want to leave - no is a complete sentence.
Arrange a trustworthy friend to stay outside of the retreat, whom you can
contact if you decide you must leave.
