To create a safe space & to make things run smoothly, please adhere to the Etiquette below.
There’s lots of info on this page
We don’t expect you to memorize everything on this page, but you’ll need to read this entire page prior to your webinar. Throughout your webinar, we’ll post key instructions.
Your Zoom Display Name
To help our Zoom Tech verify your enrolment and place you in the correct Discussion Group, please change your Zoom Display Name to include your first name followed by the initial for your last name (E.g. Susan K). See display name change instructions.
Arrive on Time.
Please make every effort to arrive on time for your webinar. If you arrive after the Group Hypnosis starts, you may be kept in the Zoom Waiting Room until it ends (for 20 minutes).
Hypnosis Requirements
Because each webinar includes group hypnosis, please use a quiet location where you won’t be disturbed. Please turn off your phone ringer. Finally, please use a computer for our webinar (or a stand for your mobile device) so you can be handsfree.
Respect Diversity
Please avoid comments that judge or stereotype other people’s lifestyle, culture, religion/spirituality, body type, ethnicity, age, ability, financial circumstances, sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
Religion and Politics
Religion and politics can be polarizing topics. So let’s keep these beliefs to ourselves during our webinars Also, please refrain from wearing slogans that may be polarizing.
Confidentiality
Please respect the privacy of other participants by not repeating anything you hear during our webinars.
Harmful Thoughts
If a participant shares thoughts of harming themselves or others, our Zoom Tech will report this to emergency services in your area.
Privacy
Please make sure no one in your home can overhear our webinars. Otherwise, other participants’ privacy will be compromised.
Do Not Record
Recording our webinars is strictly prohibited.
One Person Per Device
If a friend wants to join one of our webinars, they’ll need to register separately and use a different device.
This Isn’t Group Therapy
If you need to examine emotional trauma or mental health issues, please seek the help of a qualified therapist. We aren’t licensed to offer this type of assistance.
Keep It Real
If you bring your authentic self to our webinar, you can’t go wrong! So please be honest about who you are and how you’re feeling. If you’re having a bad day — you’re allowed. But please don’t let your bad mood spoil anyone else’s day.
Personal Gain
Participants are strictly prohibited from promoting outside goods, services or causes during our webinars or related social media.
Don’t Give Advice — Give Feedback
If you feel compelled to give another participant advice, please think again. When advice is given, the underlying assumption is that the advisor “knows better” than the person at the receiving end. Whereas, feedback is an honest adult-to-adult exchange about specific behaviours and their effect. The easiest way to kick the advice-giving habit is by avoiding sentences that start with “you should” (or similar variations). Giving advice is so ingrained in most of us, it could take a while to stop — so we’ll be patient if you slip
Be Seen
During your webinar, please have your web cam turned on. If you’re uncomfortable with this, we’ll respect your privacy.
Be Heard
Participation is optional, but for best results please try to open up and share your thoughts and feelings. .
Don’t Monopolize
If you’re doing most of the talking during your webinar, others won’t have a chance to speak.
Interruptions
When another participant is speaking, please do not interrupt them. However, the Facilitator reserves the right to interrupt any participant who doesn’t follow the Etiquette outlined on this page.
Raise Your Hand to Speak
See instructions for “raising your hand” in Zoom. Please don’t forget to lower your hand after you’ve spoken.
Keep Your Hand Raised
During the Group Discussion, please raise your hand while sharing your experience and receiving group feedback. Doing this will prevent our Zoom Tech from prematurely bringing you into a Breakout Room for your tarot reading. Don’t forget to lower your hand when the discussion moves on to the next participant.
Microphone On and Off
When invited to speak, please “unmute” your mic. Immediately after, please put your mic back on “mute.” See instructions.
Expulsion
If a participant makes offensive comments or is disruptive, toxic, or aggressive, they’ll be given one warning. If this behavior continues, they’ll be asked to leave the webinar and banned from future activities.
Shortened Webinar
During the Group Discussion, each participant will have 8 to 10 minutes to share their hypnosis experience and receive peer feedback.
Cancelled Webinar
If fewer than 10 people register for a webinar, it will be cancelled with a full refund.
Have Fun!
