9. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS
9.1 Working with People with Highly Specialised Conditions
Working with people with highly specialised conditions such as significant personality, psychiatric or mental health issues may require a highly trained, knowledgeable and specialised approach which is not part of our training. As a practitioner you are not obliged or required to accept every person who comes to you as a client and you need to know what your limitations are. Each person is advised to operate within the parameters of their individual skillset which is defined by the training that they have successfully undertaken and the knowledge that they have gained.
9.2 Conditions of Program Enrolment
By enrolling into a Medicine Woman Centre for Shamanic and Esoteric Studies® online program you agree to adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in these Terms and Conditions and the online school guidelines. You agree to follow the program protocols and the requirements for working with First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® teacher plant essences or First Light Porta Alchémica® formulations.
The programs offered by the Medicine Woman Centre for Shamanic and Esoteric Studies® are powerful programs that are accessible to all but not necessarily suited to everyone, they are mature courses for serious and committed students.
All enrolled students are required to follow the online school guidelines and program protocols, this includes working with the First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® teacher plant essences or First Light Porta Alchémica® formulations relevant to their program.
In the ancient tradition of the mystery schools which continues today it is a fundamental requirement that an enrolling student, to be accepted and admitted into the online training, must be of sound mind and body. Should a student not be of sound mind and body at the time of seeking admittance to the training or at any time subsequent to admittance, will preclude themselves from participating in the training. Should the Medicine Woman Centre for Shamanic and Esoteric Studies® consider a student is not of sound mind and body it will terminate their training. No correspondence will be entered into with regard to this termination. By enrolling in a training program a student automatically accepts this condition.
Due to the considerable logistical demands and requirements inherent in each Medicine Woman Centre for Shamanic and Esoteric Studies® program we recommend that a person only enrol for one course at a time. Each of the programs have a different focus and objective within consciousness and there is a time honoured progression of development used in true mystery schools to ensure that safe, structured, balanced and rapid spiritual development unfolds. Whilst this is our recommendation the Medicine Woman Centre for Shamanic and Esoteric Studies® understands that each person is a unique individual with their own requirements and capacities. Each student is the best judge as to how they choose to work with the training programs we provide. It is each student’s responsibility to practice self-monitoring and to take full accountability for their own physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing throughout the duration of their studies.
In accordance with the ancient occult teachings associated with a genuine mystery school Medicine Woman Centre of Shamanic and Esoteric Studies® reserves the full and final right to refuse admittance or terminate a student’s access to the school and the associated teachings without need for explanation.

If a withdrawal from the program is made less than 24 hours before the program starts, a refund of fees will be made, less a 75% administration and cancellation charge.
