Welcome!

Congratulations on choosing to delve deeper into your spiritual life! I am honored to walk with you on this next leg of your spiritual journey.

You are not joining a class, a workshop, or a training, You are crossing a sacred threshold into a higher level of relationship with Spirit, Nature, your guides, the land, and yourself. This is a potent, holy, transformational experience in which we humbly open ourselves to Spirit. This sacred container is gift from Spirit. 

For this reason, I ask you to please bear with me as you read these Immersion commitments. Not only will we have the best experience possible by agreeing to hold a high bar together, we will also affirm our respect and gratitude for each other and all of the sacred beings that will support and guide us through this experience.

 

Sacred Rhythms Shamanic Immersion Agreement

 

This Agreement is made between Be The Light, LLC and the undersigned client (aka “You”, “Your”, “You’re”) with regards to the Sacred Rhythms Shamanic Immersion (AKA Immersion) as well as any ceremonies, classes, events and gatherings that are offered to You as a result of being an Immersion participant.

Be The Light, LLC and You hereby agree to the following:

 

Respect the Teachings & Intentions Of This Offering

This Immersion is an opportunity for Your personal growth and exploration. It is not a training to prepare you to offer such teachings or experiences to others. While spiritual wisdom belongs to everyone, each person's expression is unique and deserves respect. By participating, You agree to treat the teachings, practices, and transmissions shared by Be The Light, LLC with utmost respect and integrity, refraining from engaging with this work with a consumeristic mindset by taking any part of this work to share with others.

 

Embracing the Journey

So that we may all get the most from this experience, please approach this Immersion with a "beginner's mind," allowing Yourself to be fully present with this experience. Resist the urge to bring other teachings, modalities, or comparisons into this Immersion. This allows us all to be deeply present for the power that wants to unfold for us.

 

No Sales, Marketing, or Offerings of Services

This Immersion gifts us deep, heart-centered, genuine connection. Please do not offer goods or services (including free, paid, practice or sample sessions, etc) within our group. Doing so can create doubt and confusion about Your intentions, negatively impacting the depth of connection within our group. Our group contact list is for internal community building only and should not be used for marketing, nor should it be shared outside the group.

 

Romantic Relationships

This Immersion is dedicated to personal growth and mutual support. To preserve this focus, romantic relationships and advances are not permitted during our time together. This helps everyone stay centered on their individual work and the collective community experience.

 

Confidentiality Agreement

You agree to maintain the confidentiality of all information shared by participants in this Immersion, including personal stories and experiences. Do not disclose any personal details about other participants to anyone outside this Immersion without their explicit permission or as required by law. 

 

Respectful Communication 

Our communication must remain respectful. This is a no gossip, no drama circle. During this Immersion, participants are highly encouraged to work with upsets via shamanic tools and compassionate conversations.

Responsibility for Personal Outcomes

You are responsible for Your own growth and outcomes in this Immersion. I believe deeply in the transformative potential of this experience and that You will gain valuable insights and benefits. However, as with any personal development journey, I cannot guarantee specific results. The tuition for this Immersion is an investment in Yourself, and while there is significant potential for positive transformation, Your experience will reflect Your level of engagement and commitment to Your Immersion. 

 

Photos, Videos, Audio and Media

To respect the sacredness of our work, each other, and all of the spiritual allies accompanying us, we must establish clear rules regarding photo(s), video(s) and audio(s) (AKA Media). 

Unless first agreed upon in writing by all parties depicted in, or involved in any way, you are not permitted to take Media of any person or shared activity, ceremony, art piece, or creation, etc. 

You may request an exception by first emailing Be The Light, LLC. You must state your full intention of use for your desired Media. An example would be: “I would like to take photos of our ceremonies to use in my personal journal, on my personal Facebook page, and on my professional website”.

If you receive full or partial approval from Be The Light, LLC, you must then email your request stating your  full intention of use for your desired Media to each person that may be depicted in or involved in any way in your Media.

For example, if you want to photograph a ceremony or creation in which all participants were involved, but you do not plan to capture any participant in the photo itself, you still need Be The Light, LLC and each participants written approval before photographing the ceremony or creation, because our spirit, energy and intentions are in the work.

To the extent that approval is granted, you may only use your Media for the purposes explicitly agreed upon now and in the future.
