Unfortunately, we are not able to take reservations in advance.

We issue an electronic confirmation by email, which serves as your ticket. Please make sure to enter your email address carefully at the time of booking, and if you do not receive your ticket shortly thereafter, please double-check the email address you entered at the time of booking and also check your spam/junk  older. Please note we cannot be held responsible in the event you do not receive your ticket because you failed to enter your email address correctly. Email [email protected] if you would like to change any information on your ticket.

We do not allow filming of any of our live events, as our events are a safe space. Recording could inhibit the sense of safety and privacy that attendees need to participate fully. Occasionally, we may do some filming for promotional purposes, but this is always done thoughtfully and with consent, and it never compromises the closed nature of the sessions. Our goal is always to create the very best experience for our participants, preserving the openness and trust that make the events meaningful.

Due to the nature of the material covered in our member events, we find that smaller group sizes help everyone to feel relaxed and get the most out of participating, so we have a maximum group size of 25-30 participants per workshop, with a max of 45 on the virtual events.

Yes, if you are a member, simply select each event you wish to attend and add it to your shopping basket. All selected events will be there at checkout. Please note you can only book 1 ticket for each event.

If you have any special dietary, health or other requirements, please notify us at the time of booking in the check-out process. We are able to accommodate most requirements, but cannot guarantee this. Please note that it is your responsibility to contact us at the point of booking, and if necessary for your attendance, obtain confirmation by email (through [email protected]) that we can meet your needs. If it turns out that we are unable to meet your requirements, you will be entitled to a refund.

No need. We will verify your Membership in advance and scan you into the event upon arrival.

No,  just come as you are. All materials you’ll need will be provided, unless otherwise communicated at the time of booking. Our events are designed so you can arrive with nothing but your curiosity and openness.

We’re still in the early stages of building our global programme. Right now, many events are online (so you can join from anywhere, please check the time zone), and we’re steadily growing our in-person presence. As our Membership expands, we hope to bring more gatherings closer to you, both in your time zone and, eventually, in your city.
