Waiver of Liability
I understand that the MSC Community for Deepening Practice is an online program to support personal practice after I have completed the MSC 8-week, Intensive or Online course.

MSC is a group compassion skills training program, not group therapy, and it is designed to teach participants the tools needed to develop and cultivate a mindfulness and self-compassion practice. I understand that MSC does not take the place of personal therapy. MSC Community for Deepening Practice assumes the same guidelines.

I voluntarily agree to participate in the MSC Community for Deepening Practice. I can choose to withdraw from the MSC Community for Deepening Practice without any penalty and I am aware that the course fee is non-refundable. If I am paying by installments, then I am still liable to finish paying these.

If I wish to no longer receive notifications from the MSC Community for Deepening Practice, I will request that my details will be removed.

I understand that I am required to provide details of my support system, and it is my responsibility to contact them if I feel the need should backdraft or difficult emotions arise.

I understand that the teachers are not expected or able to provide medical and/or psychological care.

I understand that if I am intoxicated with alcohol and/or non prescribed/prescribed drugs then I am not permitted to take part in MSC Community for Deepening Practice.

I further understand that participation in the MSC Community for Deepening Practice is at the discretion of the teachers at all times. If, in the opinion of the teachers, I am unable to continue to participate productively in MSC Community for Deepening Practice I may be asked to leave.

Any costs incurred for health services are my responsibility and not the responsibility of the teachers. I hereby assume all responsibility for my own equipment required to attend the online sessions.

I understand that MSC Community for Deepening Practice is not aimed at providing any requirements for MSC Teacher Training or to be a replacement for MSC.
By signing below, I confirm that I have read and agree with all sections of the preceding Waiver of Liability. I also agree that I am of legal age.
