Additional Information 

Group viewing? 
Our webinars cost the same no matter how many people you have watching together or if you watch alone. If you will be watching with a group, we’d love you to consider the additional group viewing payment option at the checkout that doubles the price. If you choose to do this: thank you! 

Webinar recordings and additional resources
A few days after each webinar a link to the recording will be provided as well as any additional resources that may be included such as readings and website links. 

Post-purchase emails
After purchasing this online resource, you will receive three lots of automated emails. Firstly, from our administration system confirming payment etc. Secondly, from Stripe who process the credit card payment. Thirdly, approximately 20 minutes later you will receive webinar access emails with a unique link/token to access each webinar, e.g., a series of 4 webinars will have 4 separate emails – you don’t need to keep track of these webinar emails as the day before each webinar, and half an hour before each webinar starts, you will receive an automated email with your unique access link/token to click through to access each webinar. These access links/tokens can only be used on one device at a time. You can access the webinar room at any time before the official start time in order to test your device – you will be taken to a webinar waiting room. If you leave the waiting room or webinar and have difficulty regaining access, please ensure you close the original web browser tab or window before clicking the webinar access link/token in the email.
