Once an applicant is accepted in their chosen course of study, you will be asked to do the following in this order:

1. Agree and sign all necessary documents below; the Chakaura™ Agreement, Waivers, Terms and Conditions and Policies before remitting payment.

2. Remit your deposit payment either on the website or pay the invoice attached in the email sent to you by [email protected].

Please note: We reserve the right to decline admissions (your deposit will be reimbursed if you aren’t accepted in your course of choice). You will be expected to adhere to certain responsibilities outside the training. This will all be described in the legal forms described below.

IMPORTANT: You are not permitted to share or teach the Chakaura™ courses, techniques, teachings, or knowledge in any form or way including electronic distribution or otherwise. This is not a teacher’s course, it is for self-development/self-care purposes only. Details on this will be provided.

We ask that you sign with integrity and understanding a confidentiality agreement and waiver that maintain the integrity and “confidentiality” of our proprietary structured programs, teachings and techniques as well as the structure of our programs and respect the privacy of others in the program. This is for your safety as well as that of others being exposed to energies they are not properly trained to manage.

This supports the avoidance of self-sabotaging tendencies (the spiritual ego test) that are common when students embark on this type of accelerated and powerful life-changing programs and courses such as
Chakaura™ offers. Many do not realize that teaching out of frequency or exposing a person to advanced teachings before they are ready has a huge karmic result detrimental to one’s spiritual growth as well as being in place for the protection of the innocent that hence would be hurt.

Teaching the Chakaura™ techniques, knowledge and programs within the proper frequency/vibration is a training all on its own and if you are invited for such would first follow and graduate from the FULL Chakaura™ Advanced Initiate Training Programs including superior levels. (minimum 5 year training)

Chakaura™ is a owned and registered Trade-Mark and cannot be used in any way outside of our Professionally certified licensed Chakaura™ Therapist or Practitioner Programs without written consent by our director Michèle C. St.Amour,

IF YOU WISH to become a professionally certified licensed Chakaura™ Therapist or Practitioner, (earning income under our banner and using our Trade-Mark signature and proprietorial training and information in any way or for either professional or in self-care services), please inquire at [email protected] to the procedure and requirements for such.

Facilitator/hosting opportunities: Once you graduate, you can offer our ONLINE and LIVE programs and courses. This is a great way to support people with the tools without having to go through your full training which takes years.

PN. If a student or employee does not respect these codes, they will be asked to leave and no course refund or certification will be given. This will be decided by the principal teacher(s) and /or administrators. Probation may also be the outcome of falling away from the following in an unreasonable manner that has been shown to be unacceptable (meaning causing or potentially causing psychological or bodily harm, or exposing other students or staff to the same said.)

We believe in a strong code of honor and are determined to foster respect for all beings, through support and safety of the body, mind, heart and spirit of everyone we work with, while encouraging the greatest possibility for positive and healthy outcomes;

We will maintain and continue to increase our resources and awareness in the areas of Naturopathic Subtle Energy -therapies and Spiritual Development and deliver our therapies, programs safely and competently;

We will show gratitude for the opportunity to study with individuals from a variety of ethnic origins, religions, sexual orientations or status;

Healthy Eating Policy

This applies to all students and personnel participating in any of the Chakaura™ Programs.

Consistent with our teachings at Chakaura™, we are expecting all students to be mindful of their eating habits starting the evening before classes to the end of training week.

By putting this policy in place, it will better support your body in higher energies and help you reach your full potential. We ask that you pay more attention to the foods and quantities you are ingesting. The followings will no longer be permitted on the premises and greatly frowned upon if ingested during the programs.

Limit as much as possible the followings while you are in class:

refined grains (pizzas, pastas, burgers, sandwiches etc.); - if you must have grains, please limit to 10 - 15% of meal; meaning refined grains that bloat you, make you heavy, take your energy and hence ours;

all processed and fast foods: no Tim’s, no Burger King, no chinese food, no subway etc.;

high sugar content drinks; and

exaggerated sugars, for example sweet desserts, pastries etc.

This way of eating will not only be beneficial to you - mind, body and soul but will also be more respectful to our teaching staff who are obliged to carry your weight when you do not give attention to the physical and energetic influence food has on your health.

We encourage you to prepare lunches/meals that include -

more veggies, fruits – 1 cup/day is a healthy choice, legumes and nuts groups;

eat smaller portions divided throughout the day;

follow intermittent nutrition as taught at Chakaura™

drink water/teas, etc.;

healthy snacks, etc.;

remember, protein is very important and you should be ingesting the amount of grams appropriate to your weight – an average of 20 grams per meal;

these foods are lighter and healthier for you and therefore healthy eating is an integral part of this training;

We encourage eating and certain supplementation such as Empowerplus or the like to support higher nervous system function.

Remedies

The Recipient agrees and acknowledges that the Confidential Information is of a proprietary and confidential nature and that any failure to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information in breach of this Agreement cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated for in money damages and would cause irreparable injury to the Discloser. Accordingly, the Recipient agrees that the Discloser is entitled to, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, an injunction restraining the Recipient and any agents of the Recipient, from directly or indirectly committing or engaging in any act restricted by this Agreement in relation to the Confidential Information.

Notices

In the event that the Recipient is required in a civil, criminal or regulatory proceeding to disclose any part of the Confidential Information, the Recipient will give to the Discloser prompt written notice of such request so the Discloser may seek an appropriate remedy or alternatively to waive the Recipient's compliance with the provisions of this Agreement in regards to the request.

If the Recipient loses or fails to maintain the confidentiality of any of the Confidential Information in breach of this Agreement, the Recipient will immediately notify the Discloser and take all reasonable steps necessary to retrieve the lost or improperly disclosed Confidential Information.
