Not at all. This workshop is designed to be accessible to anyone with curiosity and an open mind — whether you’re entirely new to these ideas or have been exploring them for years. Our facilitators meet participants wherever they are on their journey.

All sessions will be recorded and made available to registered participants. We encourage live attendance when possible for the full experience of group dialogue and practice, but we understand that life happens.

All course recordings and materials will be available to participants on the eLearning platform until June 30, 2026.

No. This is an educational and experiential workshop grounded in IONS research. It is not a substitute for professional mental health support. If you are working through significant personal challenges, we encourage you to continue doing so with a qualified professional.

Sharing is always voluntary. The curriculum itself addresses consent and personal boundaries as a core theme — so you can trust that this community is built on respect for your autonomy and privacy.

IDL participation is entirely optional. If you choose to take part, your responses are kept confidential and used solely for IONS research purposes — to help us understand how workshops like this one support human well-being and noetic awareness over time.

This is a pilot offering. We’re running this first cohort at no cost to make the curriculum as accessible as possible and to gather feedback that will shape the future of this workshop. We’re grateful for your participation — and if you’d like to support IONS’ ongoing work, a donation is warmly welcomed.
