4. Cancellation, Refund & Credit Policy
We understand that plans may change. The following policies are intended to provide fairness to both participants and the preparation required for each offering.
Elemental Soma Reiki Sessions
Refund requests received seven (7) or more calendar days before the scheduled session will receive a full refund.
Refund requests made fewer than seven (7) calendar days before the scheduled session are not eligible for a refund.
Once the refund period has passed, a participant may request that the payment be applied as a credit toward a future eligible offering. Credits are valid for twelve (12) months from the original scheduled date unless otherwise specified.
Failure to attend a scheduled session without prior notice constitutes a no-show, and all amounts paid are forfeited.
Origin Rituals
The same refund, credit, and no-show policies apply to Origin Rituals unless otherwise stated for a specific event.
If an Origin Ritual is hosted through a third-party ticketing platform such as Eventbrite, any cancellation or processing fees charged by that platform remain the responsibility of the participant.
Elemental Soma Reiki Trainings
Refund requests received thirty (30) or more calendar days before the scheduled training date are eligible for a full refund.
Refund requests received fewer than thirty (30) calendar days before the training are not eligible for a refund.
After the refund period has passed, participants may request that tuition be applied as a credit toward a future Elemental Soma Reiki Training or other eligible TERRA offering. Credits remain valid for twelve (12) months.
Participants who fail to attend without prior notice forfeit all monies paid.
If registration occurred through a third-party ticketing platform, any fees retained by that platform remain the participant's responsibility.
5. Attendance & Certification Requirements
The following requirements apply to Elemental Soma Reiki Trainings.
To receive certification, participants must:
Attend the training in its entirety.
Participate in all attunements, demonstrations, guided practices, and hands-on components.
Complete any required practical exercises or assessments associated with the training.
Because each Elemental Soma Reiki Training is conducted as a single, integrated learning experience, full attendance is required for certification.
Participants who arrive late, leave early, or miss any required portion of the training may attend for personal enrichment but may not be eligible to receive certification.
At Terra Black's discretion, participants who miss a required portion of the training may be offered the opportunity to complete the missed material through a private makeup session or by attending a future training. Any applicable fees will be communicated at that time.
Training recordings, when provided, are intended as supplemental learning resources only and do not satisfy attendance requirements for certification.
6. Participant Responsibility
Participation in any TERRA offering is voluntary.
By participating, you acknowledge that you are responsible for honoring your own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being throughout the experience.
You agree to participate in ways that feel appropriate for you, to communicate any concerns when necessary, and to discontinue any activity that does not feel supportive or safe for your individual circumstances.
You acknowledge that your experience may differ from that of other participants and that individual outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
