HOW I TREAT MYSELF
- The ITI is structured with the best intentions toward helping me become an empowered individual, and extensive consideration has been put into the schedule and methodology presented. I commit to do my best to participate according to the course structure. If I have specific personal needs, I will discuss them with the ITI facilitator.
- By enrolling in this program, I declare that I am mentally, emotionally, and physically fit and that I do not have any mental illnesses or traumas that I have not previously disclosed.
- By virtue of being an intensive program, the ITI may raise personal issues or shortcomings. The program is meant to encourage personal growth and, therefore, may impel considerable changes in attitude. For these reasons, the ITI can be challenging and demanding. I accept responsibility for all aspects of my emotions, thoughts and actions during this program.
- I accept that the ITI is an experiential educational program based on psychological and spiritual principles that may, or may not, assist in personal growth. I understand that not all the ITI facilitators are generally licensed psychiatrists or psychologists. I further understand that the ITI process is not intended to be psychotherapy or medical therapy or a substitute for either.
- I accept that the ITI offers no guarantee of success from participation in the course with physical, emotional, or mental complaints, nor with improvement in general well-being. I accept full responsibility for my own participation in the ITI and for all results.
- I have freely decided to participate in the ITI, a psychological process that may uncover old wounds and anxieties. As such it is likely that, in facing these past traumas, I may experience during the process periods of emotional discomfort.
- I understand that the ITI facilitators intend to be respectful and compassionate in order to help participants move through old behaviors and self-beliefs. However, I am aware that during the process, there may be times when I may experience their behavior as challenging or confrontational. If I feel undue pressure, I will speak to the main facilitator.
- I am voluntarily choosing to participate in the course, and I feel sufficiently informed to make this choice. I agree to notify a course leader or assistant immediately if I experience any physical, mental or emotional symptoms that I consider to be unusual.
- I understand that the ITI will have nudity and sexual interactions. I take full responsibility for the degree that I decide to participate in such exercises and understand that none of them are obligatory. I take full responsibility for my boundaries and sexual safety.
- I understand that I am free to withdraw from the ITI at any point for any reason. I understand that I am responsible for notifying the main facilitator before I choose to leave. If I feel I need assistance from anyone, professional or otherwise, I take full responsible for leaving the ITI process and obtaining it for myself. I acknowledge that it is not recommended to leave before the process is complete. If I withdraw from the ITI for any reason whatsoever, no part of the ITI fee shall be refunded.
- Adherence to punctuality is one of the primary factors in the success of the ITI. I accept responsibility for being on time to all program sessions. I agree to give priority of my energy and time to this intensive experience.
- I agree to accept that, for the duration of the ITI, any and all use of tobacco, alcohol, and other illicit substances is forbidden and can prove to be grounds for expulsion from the course.
HOW I TREAT OTHERS AND PROGRAM MATERIAL
- ITI participants come from a variety of countries and backgrounds. In order to create a supportive environment, I assume responsibility for maintaining an attitude of respect toward my colleagues and facilitators in the course. If any interpersonal difficulties or conflicts arise, I pledge to seek the advice of the ITI facilitators.
- ITI offers spiritual teachings, outside the parameters of any one specific religion. The ITI raises issues that are metaphysical in nature, concepts and theories that may challenge my personal belief system. I agree to keep an open mind, and to exercise common sense, discernment, and a balanced attitude in order to fully appreciate the teachings offered.
- I agree that the ITI is a private and personal experience for each participant. As such, I agree to respect the confidentiality of all participants and facilitators and their remarks and actions, and I agree to keep all such information private and confidential.
- After completion of the program, I understand that I am not empowered to teach or facilitate any of the material or exercises used in the ITI program. I agree not to attempt to recreate any activities from the ITI in any future teaching, leading or facilitating, without specific written permission and appropriate training from Justine.
- I agree to keep secure all printed and audio materials related to the program, and not to discuss any details of the program activities, teachings, or rituals with anyone who is not an ITI graduate. When I share my own process, I commit to doing it in a way that does not reveal what happened in the ITI program. I accept that no recording without permission is permitted.
