By Agreement
By signing up to the services, participants agree to work within their own capacities and to consult their General Practitioners about any concerns of pain and discomfort, physical and mental, that may arise in that time. Participants accept that Christoph Willi / MBSR Online Course and the location of the service are not responsible for any loss, damage or injuries.
While the practices of mindfulness are accessible to everyone, there are times when it may not be appropriate to avail of the services of MBSR Online Course. For example, classes/courses/workshops may not be suitable for those experiencing acute trauma or severe mental distress or physical ill-health. The practice invites people to turn towards all aspects of our experience. For some people this may trigger anxiety, depressive, dissociative episodes or trauma flashbacks. Please consult with your General Practitioner/Therapist to advise on the appropriateness of undertaking training in mindfulness at this time in your life.
Please also advise MBSR Online Course in advance if you are suffering any physical ill-health and of any previous experience of mental ill-health, such as anxiety/depression/trauma/psychosis. For live-online courses, a short pre-course interview is completed by telephone or online before a place is confirmed. All information provided in this context is held in the strictest of confidence (See Privacy Policy and Confidentiality section in this policy) and is gathered purely for the purpose of ensuring that we can work safely together.
Confidentiality
MBSR Online Course offers confidentiality within normal limits. This means that confidentiality is guaranteed at all times except where a person has immediate plans to harm themselves or others and where there is information that a child is currently at risk or has in the past experienced harm/abuse/neglect.
Please see our Privacy Policy that details how your personal data gathered from the website is protected under GDPR (2016).
Booking and Cancellation
By booking a place on class/course/workshop, you are confirming that you are over 18 years of age. Occasionally specialist courses, classes and consultations may be offered that are appropriate for 16 years onwards when parental consent will be required before a place is confirmed.
Places are confirmed on courses and workshops on receipt of full payment or a non-refundable deposit. Payments may be made by SEPA, Credit Card or Paypal.
Concerning live-online courses, cancellations prior to 7 days of the start date will receive a refund of the full amount paid less the non-refundable deposit. Cancellations within 7 days of the course/workshop are not refunded but may be transferred to a subsequent course/workshop. If the cost of the subsequent course is greater than the original fee paid, participants are liable to pay this excess. If transferring to a class/course/workshop that costs less, the difference is not refunded. Cancellations of individual consultations are required within 24 hours of appointment dates and those cancelled within 24 hours or not attended will be invoiced for payment.
In the event of cancellations of courses/workshops by MBSR Online Course, all money paid will be refunded.
