You agree to use the content on this site in a way that is respectful, lawful, and aligned with the spirit of its intention.

Data, Privacy & the Responsibility of Care

When you sign up for a course, download a free offering, or subscribe to our newsletter, you are sharing personal information with us. We recognize that this is more than a logistical exchange—it is an energetic one. In the same way that we honor the sacredness of the inner journey, we also honor the care of your personal data.

We will never sell, rent, or share your information with any third party for marketing purposes. All data collected through this site is used solely to support your experience, communicate with you clearly, and deliver what you have requested.

We use Kartra as our secure course and email platform, and Stripe and PayPal to process payments. These services comply with industry-standard encryption and privacy protections. Substack may be used separately for writing and community engagement and is governed by its own privacy policies.

We hold your data with care and reverence, in recognition that this site and its offerings invite deep personal reflection and transformation. This is not only a technical responsibility but an energetic one. Your presence and trust are honored.

Information We Collect & How We Use It

  • Name and email address when you subscribe or sign up for offerings
  • Payment details via Stripe or PayPal for course purchases
  • Voluntary information you choose to share when responding to course prompts, forms, or emails

We use this information to:

  • Deliver the services or materials you’ve requested
  • Provide course access and customer support
  • Share occasional updates about related offerings or resources

Why We Disclose Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We only disclose data to trusted third-party processors (like Kartra, Stripe, and PayPal) as required to operate the site and deliver services to you. These providers are bound by privacy and security standards.

Processing Your Information

By using this site, you consent to the collection and processing of your data in the United States, even if you are located outside of it. Our third-party platforms comply with relevant international privacy laws including GDPR.

Health Disclaimer

The content on this site and in our online courses is for educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

We cannot diagnose health conditions, nor prescribe medicines legally; we are not medical doctors. However, we may recommend or suggest meditations or Daoist-based practices for emotional, energetic, or spiritual support, based on the principles of Chinese medicine and personal experience.

Participation in any course or guided practice is voluntary and at your own discretion. You are responsible for your own health choices. Please consult your medical care provider before using any new approach—especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a known medical condition.

Payments & Refunds

All online course sales are final and non-refundable once purchased, as access is delivered immediately. Refunds will only be considered in the event of a technical issue that prevents access. Please contact us if something unexpected arises.

We accept:

  • Major credit cards via Stripe
  • PayPal (by invoice or checkout)

Cookies & Analytics

We may use cookies or tracking pixels to better understand how users engage with this website and to improve its functionality. You can disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.

Newsletter & Email Consent

If you opt into our newsletter or download a free offering, you will receive occasional emails sharing updates, reflections, and offerings related to the work of the Inner Radiance Institute. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link at the bottom of each email. Our emails are managed through Kartra, which complies with GDPR and CAN-SPAM standards.
