 Section 1 — Participant Acknowledgement & Personal Responsibility

Baptism of Burlesque invites participants to explore embodiment, personal patterns, self-image, shame, desire, archetypes and self-expression through movement, creative exploration and reflection.

I understand that this work may bring up unexpected emotions, discomfort or challenging reflections. I acknowledge that personal growth can involve uncertainty and that I remain responsible for my own wellbeing, choices and capacity throughout the process.

By participating, I agree to show up with curiosity, honesty and a willingness to explore, while honouring my own boundaries, pace and capacity. I commit to listening to my body, communicating my needs and taking care of myself throughout the program with courage and compassion. 

I understand and agree that:

- I am never required to disclose personal information or participate in an exercise that feels inappropriate for me.
- I can ask to pause, adapt or discontinue an exercise at any time.
- I am responsible for recognising my limits and seeking appropriate professional support if my needs extend beyond the scope of this program.
- This is a personal development program, not psychotherapy or psychological treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional mental health care.

Section 2 — Program Structure & Commitment

The pilot program includes six group sessions and four - six private one-to-one sessions, scheduled across the six weeks.

If appropriate, the program may be extended by up to three weeks at no additional cost. This extension may be offered to accommodate scheduling, integration or refinement of the pilot experience and not an automatic entitlement.

Throughout the program, I agree to:

1. Attend scheduled sessions punctually and communicate as early as possible if I cannot attend.
2. Book private sessions with a minimum of 12 hours' notice. Missed one-to-one sessions may be forfeited and cannot be carried over to a subsequent week or accumulated. Rescheduling is subject to availability.
3. Prioritise watching available recording before the next scheduled group meeting in the circumstances of missed attendance.
4. Engage with home practices and reflections between sessions to the extent that feels appropriate and manageable.
5. Take mindful responsibility for my participation, choices and personal boundaries.

Group-session recordings are provided to support participants who cannot attend live. Participants agree not to download, reproduce, distribute or share recordings without prior written permission. Personal stories and identifying information shared by other participants must remain confidential.

Section 3 — Trial Program & Participant Feedback

I understand that this is an introductory online pilot of Baptism of Burlesque. Some elements of the program and its online delivery may be newly developed and refined throughout the process, and minor technological or logistical issues may arise.

As a pilot participant, I agree to offer honest and constructive feedback about my experience, including what I found valuable and what could be improved.

I agree to providing a public testimonial which will reflect my genuine experience and opinions. My name, image or other identifying information will not be used publicly without my explicit permission. I am not required to provide a positive review or endorse outcomes I have not experienced.

Section 4 — Confidentiality & Mutual Respect

All personal experiences, stories and reflections shared within Baptism of Burlesque are to be treated as private and confidential.

I agree not to share another participant's personal experiences, stories or identifying information outside the program without their explicit consent. I understand that my own experiences and stories will be treated with the same respect.

Confidentiality is a shared responsibility. I agree to uphold it as an essential part of creating a respectful and supportive environment for everyone involved.

Section 5 — Intellectual Property & Use of Materials

All original program materials created by Rebekah Chippington, including written resources, worksheets, frameworks, exercises, recorded content, program structures and teaching materials, remain her intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Participants may use these materials for their own personal learning and development. They must not reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, teach or share program materials without crediting or without written permission.

Participants retain ownership of their own original creative work, personal reflections and materials they independently create during the program. Any proposed sharing or publication of a participant's creative work requires their permission.

Section 6 — Fees, Payment & Cancellations

The agreed pilot program fee is $990 AUD

A $250 deposit is required to secure enrolment. This deposit forms part of the total program fee, leaving a balance of $740 AUD

The remaining balance may be paid in either of the following ways:

Option 1 — Four fortnightly instalments: Four payments of $185 AUD, with the first instalment due a fortnight after the deposit and subsequent instalments due every two weeks.
Option 2 — Payment in full: The remaining $740 AUD paid in full by the agreed payment deadline before the program commences.

The selected payment arrangement and relevant due dates will be confirmed before enrolment is finalised.

The deposit and any subsequent payments are subject to the participant's rights under Australian Consumer Law and other applicable law.

If a participant withdraws or chooses not to continue after the program has commenced, fees paid are not refundable solely due to a change of mind, withdrawal or missed sessions, except where a refund or other remedy is required by law.

If Rebekah is unable to deliver the agreed program, she will communicate with the participant to discuss appropriate arrangements, which may include rescheduling, an alternative delivery arrangement or a refund.

Section 7 — Agreement & Consent

By enrolling in Baptism of Burlesque — Online Pilot Program, I confirm that I have read and understood this agreement, had the opportunity to ask questions, and voluntarily agree to participate.

I understand the nature of the work, the commitment involved, the introductory and experimental nature of the pilot program, and my responsibility to communicate my needs and boundaries throughout the process.

I enter this experience willingly, with an understanding that I remain responsible for my own choices, wellbeing and participation.
