1. Spiritual Guidance
The offerings of The Serpent and The Dove—including spiritual retreats, circles, memberships, courses, and content—are intended to provide a safe space for spiritual exploration, personal growth, and self-discovery. These services are not a substitute for medical attention, diagnosis, or therapy.

Our facilitators are dedicated guides, working in alignment with the Divine, to facilitate your journey to empowerment and healing. However, participants are encouraged to lean into their inner wisdom, trust their own instincts, and take responsibility for their personal growth.


2. Participant Responsibility
Participation in any retreat, gathering, or program offered by The Serpent and The Dove is voluntary. By engaging with our services, participants affirm that:

  • They are in suitable physical, mental, and emotional health for participation.
  • They will notify facilitators of any relevant medical conditions, current medication (including antidepressants), or special considerations (e.g., pregnancy) before participating in activities.
  • They will abstain from mood-altering substances, including drugs and alcohol, during all spiritual sessions, retreats, and gatherings.

Participants are fully responsible for their own actions, safety, and well-being during and after sessions. Facilitators reserve the right to remove any participant for disruptive or harmful behavior, with no refunds provided.


3. Age Restrictions
Due to the spiritual and religious nature of our work:

  • We do not work with individuals under the age of 18.
  • Individuals aged 13–17 may participate only if a parent or guardian is actively involved in our community and provides written consent.

4. Liability Waiver
Participants acknowledge that certain activities—such as yoga, meditation, or energy work—may involve physical or emotional risks. By participating, you agree to:

  • Take full responsibility for your physical and emotional well-being.
  • Release The Serpent and The Dove, its facilitators, retreat hosts, and affiliated entities from any liability for injuries, damages, or losses that may occur during participation.

5. Community and Confidentiality
Our sacred spaces operate under principles of anonymity and respect. Participants are asked to honor the confidentiality of what is shared during gatherings. “What you see here, who you meet here, let it stay here.”

Facilitators reserve the right to end discussions or remove participants who do not adhere to community standards or respectful conduct.


6. No Guarantees
While our work is rooted in spiritual principles and deep personal practice, outcomes vary based on individual circumstances. We do not guarantee specific results from any session, retreat, or service.


7. Payments and Refunds
All payments for services, memberships, and retreats are final and non-refundable. Participants are expected to confirm dates and availability prior to booking. In the case of cancellations, participants must notify beth@serpentandthedove.com immediately.


8. External Links
Our website may include links to affiliated sites, including My Altared HomeBeth Barling Wellness, and Stephanie Schafer’s Online Store. These sites operate independently, and The Serpent and The Dove is not liable for their practices or policies.
