Terms & Conditions
From Chaos To ConnectionÂ
At Peace Talks, we believe in fostering a world where everyoneâs needs are heard, recognized, and deeply considered through the art of dialogue. We are committed to creating a space where communication and mutual understanding are at the core of our offerings.
Before you proceed, we would like to check if you agree to the following points. If you would like any adjustments to be made in these Terms and Conditions, please reach out to us directly. We are open to a dialogue to ensure the text works for everyone involved:
Fees
This Programme is offered on a Gift Economy basis, meaning there is no fixed fee. The main facets of our Gift Economy approach include:
- Community Care: An attempt to recreate a world where we care for each other, acknowledging that our well-being is inextricably tied to one another and that we have agency in creating a world focused on need, not greed.
- Accessibility: A commitment to ensuring our teachings and support are accessible to a wide range of people, regardless of financial circumstances. We aim to ensure that the care and guidance we offer flow directly to those who need them, no matter their ability to pay.Â
- Financial Sustainability: While the programme is offered in a Gift Economy spirit, this does NOT mean it is free or without financial value. Teaching these programmes is the primary way we support ourselves and our families financially. Your contribution enables us to meet our basic needs so we can live, care for our families, and continue this work we love from a resourced place.
Commitment, Worry-Free Guarantee andÂ

After that time, youâre warmly invited to join our Living Compassion Community Membership -Â a space to keep deepening your practice, stay connected with others, and receive ongoing support.
Programme Cancellation by Peace Talks
While we do not anticipate needing to cancel, Peace Talks reserves the right to do so if unforeseen circumstances arise. In the unlikely event of programme cancellation, all pre-payments will be refunded in full within 14 days of the cancellation announcement.
Health Disclosure
It is your personal responsibility to inform the trainer(s) of your health status (physical and mental) and/or use of any medication. This is to ensure safety, clarity, and the appropriate support throughout the programme, both for you and the trainer(s).
Liability Disclaimer
Neither Peace Talks nor its trainers are liable for any physical and/or psychological damage that you claim to have acquired due to participation in the programme. This is to ensure we have a shared understanding of âself-responsibility.â
We encourage you to speak up if anything does not feel safe to you at any time. Please be gentle with yourself and take any necessary measures to care for your well-being. Safety is of utmost importance to us, and we recognize that everyone has different ways of caring for it. We are here to support you in this process.
Online Session Recording
We may record our Zoom sessions for our own learning purposes. Your privacy and sense of safety are important to us, and recordings will only be used in this context, unless we make a separate request and receive your explicit consent.
By joining the sessions, you consent to being recorded, with the understanding that your comfort and confidentiality will be respected at all times.
Confidentiality
All communication with Peace Talks (within and outside of the programme) will be handled with strict confidentiality. Participant information is securely saved on our platform.
Time and Presence Commitment
A crucial aspect of this programme is learning to care for our needs, which means embracing the art of slowing down. We invite you to pause and reflect on this commitment:
This programme requires regular engagement for effective learning and integration. On average, we recommend dedicating at least 1 hour per week in addition to the Zoom sessions. This includes watching videos, reading monthly emails, engaging with the community, and completing exercises. Please take a moment to reflect on this weekly commitment and how it can fit into your schedule.
Your consistent presence at the live sessions is invaluable for both contributing to and benefiting from the shared learning experience. Be sure to check the session times and plan your schedule around them.Â
Live Sessions & Waitlist Policy
Live sessions are 1.5 hours long. When 4 or fewer people attend, we reduce the time to one hour.Â
We know time zones and busy schedules donât always line up. Thatâs why we offer two options:
1. Sign up now and get started
-
Receive immediate access to the monthly drip modules and the full course community.
-
Add yourself to the waitlist for live sessions.
-
Once at least 10 parents share overlapping availability - and the timing works with our facilitation schedule - weâll open a new group (for either a Grief Circle and/or a Practice Session).
-
As soon as your group begins, youâll be eligible to attend eight (8) consecutive monthly live practice sessions and eight (8) grief circle sessions (16 in total).
Please note: while we do our best to open new groups when interest and availability align, we cannot guarantee when or if a new group will be formed. In the meantime, youâll still benefit from the course content and community space. You may also choose to book one-on-one support or practice sessions with Jorinde or Sally if youâd like more personalised guidance.
2. Wait for new live session times
If youâd prefer not to enroll until a suitable live session group is available, you can simply join the waitlist.
Please join our waiting list here so we can notify you when we offer a new round with different session times.
