5. Medical Fitness:

I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and have no medical condition that would prevent my full participation in the classes and activities for which I register. I recognize that Satsangam LLC is not able to provide medical advice regarding my fitness for participation and that it is my responsibility to consult with a healthcare provider regarding my ability to participate or to apply any theory I learn to my own condition.

7. Governing Law:

8. Entire Agreement:

This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral.

All classes are recorded and shared with all registered students and presenters. Sessions or segments may be shared with the public for educational or promotion purposes. By attending this course, you give Satsangam permission to use comments or other acts of participation you share in class for the purpose of future teaching or promotion as described in the Release Agreement below and agree to be responsible to turn off your video camera and/or delete your name from your image if that is important to you.

“By registering for this course, I hereby grant permission to the rights of my image, likeness and sound of my voice as recorded on audio or video or my written comments from ‘Chat’ or ‘Comment’ sections during any Satsangam program, without payment or any other consideration. I understand my image may be edited, copied, exhibited, published or distributed and waive the right to inspect or approve the finished product wherein my likeness appears. Additionally, I waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising or related to the use of my image or recording. “By attending this course, I understand this permission signifies that photographic or video recordings of me may be electronically displayed via the Internet or in the public educational setting. There is no time limit on the validity of this release nor is there any geographic limitation on where these materials may be distributed. “By registering for this course,, I acknowledge that I have completely read and fully understand the above release and agree to be bound thereby. I hereby release any and all claims against any person or organization utilizing this material for educational purposes.”

As we come together to learn and grow as individuals and in this sangha, these are suggested guidelines, meant to cultivate and support unity, open-mindedness and a sattvic learning environment for all. By registering for this course, I agree to abide by these agreements.

Privacy

We understand these courses are open to all, and are and will be used for educational purposes. Some sessions may be repurposed into other courses. We understand using our cameras is welcome and appreciated, as it enlivens the community in a sweet way. If we are uncomfortable with our voice or name being shown, we will each be responsible to turn off our videos or hide our names on our zoom account display.

Welcome, respect & learn from each other’s experience and views

Each of us has a different perspective on Reality and different experiences. There are many ways to look at a thing. If we can expand to hear all these perspectives without judgment, but with discernment, they may all be able to serve for growth. Everyone has their own background, belief system and view on various concepts. 20th century saint Kirpal Singh wrote, “Each one of us is unique in his own way. There is a divine purpose behind the life of everyone who comes into the world; no one has been created for nothing. We have something to learn from everyone. This is the mystery of humility.” We attempt to enter into community in this spirit of respect and curiosity in order to create a brave learning environment, and allow our own minds and hearts to soften and expand. We agree to respectfully take what supports our learning and leave the rest.
We understand the views of the presenters or participants do not necessarily represent the view of satsangam LLC founders or principles.

Share experiences, not advice

We use “I” statements in sharing our own experiences and perspectives instead of declarative statements or generalizations about the way things are or should be, or what others do or think, or should do or think.

Be responsible for our own feelings and words

When we get triggered, we can ask questions of others and ourselves, considering where we can connect and how we can expand. We can have conversations with friends, therapists or confidants outside of sessions when needed. We can breathe and use whatever mental or emotional health tools available to us to return to mental or emotional equilibrium.

Expect not to have all questions answered

This is an exploration.

Religious and philosophical freedom

We do not need to adhere to any particular religion or philosophical perspective in order to benefit from and find common ground with the material discussed.

Strive to do no harm

We are aware that thoughts, words and actions can all cause harm and try to use these carefully.

Personal consultation questions

This is not a space for personal consultations or to have personal physical, mental, emotional or spiritual health issues addressed directly. These are better addressed within the context of consultations with personal practitioners.

Respect time for other voices

We will try to be aware of how much space we take up in the classroom. This includes being conscious of how often our voice is heard in relation to other participants, keeping questions and comments focused on the topic, and taking time to process and listen before speaking.

Active listening

Seek first to understand and then to be understood (an idea we appreciate from the book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”)

Filming & recording

We ask that no filming, video or audio recording take place during our sessions outside of the recording done by Satsangam LLC.
