Participants

Our sessions are open to women aged 24 to 30 only. These sessions have been intentionally designed for women in this specific phase of life.

Participants must register for themselves and personally attend the sessions. Registrations made on behalf of another person are not permitted. Your session cannot be transferred to another person.

By registering, you confirm that you meet these criteria. We reserve the right to cancel any registration where these requirements are not met. In the event of removal, see the Cancellation and Refunds below.

Participants are expected to engage respectfully throughout all sessions.

By completing presence registration, you expressly request that the Presence commence on your first scheduled date, which falls within the 14-day withdrawal period, and you acknowledge that your right of withdrawal will be lost once your first session has commenced. This consent is confirmed by your explicit acknowledgement at the point of presence registration.
