Educational materials
Many of our programs invite participants to deepen their experience of presence, embodiment, compassion, and what Realization Process refers to as Fundamental Consciousness. Similar concepts appear across contemplative, philosophical, and spiritual traditions under different names.
Participation does not require adherence to any religious or spiritual belief system. Our programs are open to individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs.
2. Educational Nature of Services
Unless you are specifically engaged in an established psychotherapy relationship with Jennifer Finch, LPC, all classes, workshops, retreats, trainings, consultations, and educational materials are provided solely for educational, professional development, self-reflection, and personal growth purposes.
Participation does not establish a therapist-client relationship.
Educational programs are not psychotherapy, psychological treatment, psychiatric care, medical treatment, crisis intervention, or emergency services.
No diagnosis, treatment, or clinical recommendations are provided through educational offerings.
3. Medical and Mental Health Disclaimer
Our programs are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any physical illness, psychiatric disorder, or medical condition.
If you are experiencing physical illness, persistent emotional distress, or significant psychological symptoms, you should seek appropriate care from a licensed physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider.
Participants remain solely responsible for obtaining any medical or mental health care they may require.
4. Psychological Suitability
Because many of our programs involve experiential learning, meditation, embodiment practices, emotional awareness, and reflective exercises, participants should be emotionally and psychologically stable enough to participate safely.
Our educational programs are not appropriate for individuals currently experiencing:
acute psychiatric crisis
active suicidal thoughts
active homicidal thoughts
psychosis
severe dissociation that significantly interferes with functioning
untreated substance intoxication
any condition requiring immediate medical or psychiatric stabilization
If, in the professional judgment of Jennifer Finch or another instructor, participation appears unsafe for you or others, Be Here Now Mindfulness reserves the right to decline or discontinue participation.
5. Physical Participation
Certain programs include movement, meditation, breathing exercises, prolonged sitting or standing, handling pottery, ceramics, adhesives, metallic powders, pigments, sharp ceramic pieces, and other hands-on activities.
You acknowledge that you are physically able to participate safely.
If you have pregnancy-related concerns, recent surgery, chronic pain, cardiovascular conditions, neurological disorders, seizures, respiratory illness, orthopedic injuries, or any other medical condition that could affect participation, you agree to consult your healthcare provider before attending.
6. Assumption of Risk
Participation in any Be Here Now Mindfulness program is voluntary. Activities that may include movement, meditation, breathing practices, emotional exploration, reflective exercises, group discussion, handling ceramic materials and tools, and other experiential learning activities.
You understand that educational and experiential programs carry inherent physical, emotional, and psychological risks, including but not limited to:
emotional discomfort
grief
anxiety
unexpected memories
temporary emotional activation
fatigue
dizziness
muscle soreness
allergic reactions
cuts or abrasions from pottery materials
accidental injury during workshop activities
aggravation of pre-existing medical or psychological conditions
You voluntarily assume all known and unknown risks associated with participation and accept full responsibility for your own physical, emotional, and psychological well-being before, during, and after participation.
7. Participant Responsibility
You remain responsible for monitoring your own physical, emotional, and psychological well-being throughout every program.
You agree to:
participate within your own limits
stop any activity that feels unsafe or beyond your present capacity
communicate concerns when appropriate
seek outside medical or psychological care if needed
Participation is always voluntary.
You may decline any exercise without penalty.
8. Release of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted under Georgia law, you release and hold harmless Be Here Now Mindfulness, LLC, Jennifer Finch, instructors, assistants, contractors, volunteers, guest presenters, employees, landlords, hosting facilities, and affiliated organizations from any and all claims, injuries, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses, or causes of action arising from your voluntary participation in any program, except where prohibited by law or resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9. Kintsugi Workshop Safety
Kintsugi workshops and Certified Kintsugi Facilitator Trainings involve ceramic materials, adhesives, pigments, metallic powders, sandpaper, sharp broken pottery, cutting tools, and other workshop supplies.
Participants agree to use all materials responsibly, follow instructor safety directions, wear any recommended protective equipment, and exercise reasonable care throughout the workshop.
Be Here Now Mindfulness is not responsible for injuries resulting from misuse of materials or failure to follow safety instructions.
10. Continuing Education Programs
Continuing Education credit is awarded only when attendance and participation requirements have been satisfied.
Completion of a training does not certify professional competence nor authorize participants to practice outside the legal scope of their professional license.
Participants remain solely responsible for complying with licensing board requirements and practicing within their scope of competence.
11. Results Disclaimer
Every participant’s experience is unique and varies considerably.
Be Here Now Mindfulness makes no guarantee regarding emotional healing, symptom reduction, professional success, certification outcomes, business results, continuing education approval by individual licensing boards, or any other specific outcome.
12. Group Confidentiality
Many of our programs involve group discussion and shared personal experiences.
Participants are expected to respect the privacy and confidentiality of others.
However, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed because it depends upon the conduct of all participants.
Each participant remains responsible for deciding what personal information they choose to disclose.
13. Photography and Media
Photographs or video recordings may occasionally be taken during workshops or trainings for educational or promotional purposes.
Participants who prefer not to appear in photographs or recordings should notify the instructor before the program begins.
14. Cancellation and Refund Policy
