Let's Get the Disclaimers Out of the Way!

Updated: Jun 4, 2019



Welcome dear one,


Now, I know that most will not need to read this through, however it does need to be said.


And upheld.


“Sadly, we are point in our evolution where many people seem to be very uncomfortable with anyone else having a view point different to their own.”

Below I have outlined some of the questions that may be raised by people regarding my teachings or opinions.


Firstly, this website is for those with whom my experiences and teachings resonates with. If it doesn't resonate, or fit, or just simply 'float your boat' this is perfectly fine. There are many paths in this world of spirituality, you are under no obligation whatsoever to follow mine.


If you are triggered by uncommon opinion,


or those seeming to go "against the grain or status quo", you may find it uncomfortable being here.


Honestly, don't try and force yourself or anyone else to change beliefs. Please just click off this page now and continue with your own beliefs.


I am not an evangelist and I'm not trying to convert you to my way of thinking.



Terminology

I know some people feel triggered by certain spiritual terminology, so to clear this up before we even start, here is what I choose to call this 'Divine Energy'.


I call it love, or

Divine Love.

I also call it God,

God within,

Jesus,

Messiah within,

I also sometimes refer to Mary, as in Mary Mother of God.


I do not refer to the universe or ascended masters or the like.


However it is entirely up to you what names you use.


I simply want to you to know before we start that these are the names I use.

Then if that's not your thing, you know this will not appeal to your mind (or ego).


I am comfortable with those terms.


If you are triggered by these names, you can either,

a) use a name/term that you are comfortable with. Or

b) Go elsewhere.


Please don't use your time here, trying to prove me wrong, or convert me or anyone else, or argue with me about my experiences or opinions.


I reserve the right, as it's my website, to free speech, and I am able to express my opinions here.


I recommend that you create your own platform to do the same should you wish to.


This portal is not a place for arguing opinions.


Be kind to yourself and others


Please be kind towards others here.

We all know that (cyber) bullying is prevalent at the moment. Please do not lower yourself to interacting at that level, and instead be kind and gracious and loving towards yourself and others.


Follow the golden rule, treat and think of others others as you would wish to be treated yourself.


Purchasing products or services


A lot of information is available for free here.

Via my blog, podcast, videos, and some downloads.


I also offer paid for classes, downloads, teachings, videos, group sessions, and one to one private sessions both online and off.


Currently I do not offer payment plans or monthly memberships.


Purchases are made by paying up front in full, or at most over two or three payments (for long term services) and there is a specific reason for this.


I don't want you to be "in debt" to me. I think membership sites though are a very good "earner" for people, are often not in integrity, as they are designed to keep people paying indefinitely, sometimes long after it is useful.


I have dithered with this choice for a long time because people love being members of my ongoing groups. And people want to be "part of our Sisterhood".


I have decided that the best solution so that I can remain in my authenticity, and not let you become beholden to me, is to say that, yes we have a sisterhood, but it's a Pay as You Go sisterhood!


Or Pay in full up front. So at least you know where you are.


Recently I am making efforts to reduce my monthly payments to utilities and other organisations, and I recommend you ponder on the same. I no longer have a mobile phone contract and just Pay as I go. I have cancelled monthly memberships, I have also become very careful where I sign up my email address.


All these things put us back in our power, which is one of my core intentions with my own life, and with any assistance I offer to others.


So, classes are pay as you go, and like a theatre or concert ticket are non refundable. I do however do my best to be as clear as I can regarding your expectation of result.


I really try hard not to fall prey to any yucky marketing hype or frankly B.S.


I do not run free webinars to mine your email address, or simply get you to buy something. Yuck.

I feel passionately about this.

Currently I have removed my monetisation off Youtube also.

I don not participate in revenue advertising on my podcast either.


I do this so that I can walk my talk. I may not always get it right, but I can promise you that I am trying my best to hold a clear, and honest space for myself and others. If you are running a business, I do encourage you to look at some of your own money making processes that are accepted by society, but let's face it are not that in integrity.


When we are not in integrity, we feel dissatisfied. We are love beings, beings who are here to create harmony with one another.


We are here to uplift one another, to be kind, to hold the light for one another. I am doing my best to not participate any form of competition, or dodgy practises just to get money. As I said I encourage you to do the same.


To be clear what I mean by this, there are quite a few accepted business practises that I personally find at best distasteful and at worst far from in integrity.

Just because something is a social and business "norm" does not make it authentic. I try my best to not participate in them.

For example, on going monthly memberships that are a pain to cancel.

Webinars that promise the world but fall short.

Webinars that promise things that you have to buy to get the information.

Webinars that withhold key elements.

Try for 7 days but you have to sign up with a bank card first, hopefully you will forget you signed up and I can take your money anyway. Yuck, yuck.

etc.


I do not offer refunds on classes, as it is just too much hassle frankly. I have better things to do with my time. However I will try as be as clear as possible to what you get from the event. Bearing in mind if you go to a concert or theatre you can never be entirely sure of what you will experience.


One to one sessions


Ok, let's talk about this too.


I do very, very few one to one sessions, simply due to time limitations, how much energy it takes, and other commitments I have.


I have decided the best thing to do is to offer one to one sessions with those, who are in some way actively bringing their gifts to the world. Either through business, non profit, book writing, photography, etc.


The reason being, If I help you, you are very likely to go on to help larger amounts of people.


I want as many people as possible to awaken to the Love that we are, so if I work one on one with those who are helping others. Well, you do the maths.


You can always email us and ask the question, if you are not sure. But for now if you are not yet bringing your gifts to the world in an active way, i.e you are due to start your business or life thing, then please stick to my other offerings until you are up and running.


If you are not sure contact us and ask the question..


Prices for one to ones...


Some will say I charge a lot, some will say I don't charge enough, it's one of those rock and hard places again.


I charge what I feel is a fair price for the level of experience and wisdom I bring.


I do not charge per hour or my time. I charge for my experience, time spent following this path etc.


It's fairly simple, if you are not happy with my pricing, do not book a session.


Remember the golden rule, do and think of others what you would wish others would do the same for you.


Free Stuff


Ok, next thing, the free stuff I offer is not a trick! - I do not offer stuff and specifically leave out the main crux of the information so that you are left confused. or needing to buy more.


Are my paid programmes more comprehensive? Yes they are. BUT I will not offer rubbish to you for free, just to get your email or whatever, that is not my bag, and I think it stinks.


Yes, my paid programmes and events are more in depth, but I promise to not knowingly withhold crucial information from the free stuff. That way, if you are prepared to take the time to read through a lot of free content you will get the same answers most likely as the paid programmes.


The paid programmes have more specific steps and are more laid out concurrently making it quicker to reach a required result mostly but definitely not always.


Results


Ok, I am limited to what I am even allowed to say about results, which is a pity.

I am obliged to say, results are not typical, and are dependant on what you put in etc.

And let's face it I don't really put much credence on testimonials anymore now either because, well how many people get those results out of 100?


The best I can really say regarding this, is trust your gut. You will likely know if something is right for you, and also trust your gut if it doesn't feel right. You know yourself better than anyone else. I promises to try not to use any hype or inflated promises regarding results and provide as much clarity on paid products as possible so you can make a genuine informed decision.

Yes I have bought many programmes that have not yielded results too. and I promised myself to do the best I can to not let that happen with anyone buying my programmes.


I do my best to trust my instinct dear one, walk with love, stay grounded and my decisions are mostly fine.


An addendum here, I am going to offer my paid products and services.

I may encourage you to buy a particular programme or recommend a one to one session.

How else can I let you know that it's available?

Please understand that if I had a physical shop, you would come in and things would be displayed on the shelves, so you can decide if you want to purchase something.

If I talk about what I offer it is just me doing the same.


However I will not use seedy, coercive or shady tactics to get you to buy something.


If you have any questions regarding this, please contact my support people, and they will endeavour to clarify or amend something we are offering.


My Style

No, not my clothing style, my style of delivery is what I am speaking of here..


So, I am definitely a straight talker, as you can possibly tell by the fact that I am even writing this post.

I can be extremely blunt and very, very direct.

I am not good at pussyfooting, or fluffing things out to make a person feel better.

I am so to the point sometimes even I wince.

If you cannot handle this type of direct talk, or you have issues with strong women, then I am definitely not for you.

I do also occasionally swear a little, though it is minimal.

I do tend to give it between the eyes. But I do my utmost to make sure it is with love.

I work very very hard to not go into judgement or condemnation as I don't think this is cool at all.

I am human though however, so please remember i'm not perfect.


Am I Religious?

No, though I think many would say I am.


I do not follow any creed or doctrines specifically.


All opinions are my own there is no creed or dogma here. I do however draw on much of my source of reference from the Bible mainly KJV, and infrequently other scripture.


Am I Christian?


Hmmm. yes, I would say I am, however I think fundamental Christians may be horrified that I say I am, and many new agers would say that I am.


It really is a bit of a rock and a hard place I find. But I imagine, you too feel the same. I guess the people I resonate highly with are those who are very spiritual, have no issues with Christian terminology, but perhaps do not go to church very often, if at all.



You may find your spirituality, I don't even want to use the term faith, as that winds people up too, is personal, eclectic, and strong mostly, but you are finding it a challenge to integrate into your life for varying reasons.


I'm definitely not a typical Christian, so if you are, you may feel uncomfortable with my point of view. If this is the case, I ask that you would be so kind as to seek other points of reference instead of here.


Am I a new Ager?

Well firstly I am not entirely sure what that is, however I would say I am not a new ager.


I'm not into a lot of stuff that new agers are into. However if you are, then that is ok with me, as long as you understand that is not how I teach.


Do you have to be a Christian?

No definitely not, you can be Sufi, Hindu, or no name. You can be eclectic, a mixture of all, all I ask is that you let me use the terminology that I want to use.


And I do use it, so please do not book a miracle class, if you get upset if someone quotes a scripture or uses the word God etc. I have given you fair notice in advance.


Am I enlightened?

What even is that?

Has my ego collapsed and I never react to anything or get triggered? No, sadly not. I can say, I probably get triggered less than most, I constantly watch myself, i'm not scared to say, this is my stuff, or I have an issue with this, or this is something I'm not the best on.

I have been let down by teachers too, who have been other than loving to me.


Safe Space

Which leads on to the next subject. I do my best to hold a safe space for people. I actively discourage, moaners, trouble makers, and general whiny people from my stuff.


Even writing this page is to weed out the people who try it on.

I am nearly fifty years old, I have been on this path my entire life, and I have seen a lot, and have also fallen for a lot along the way.


I have a good understanding of safe space, probably better than most, I could tell you some hair raising stories regarding so called workshops and safe space.


I cannot guarantee a safe space, we do boot people off trying to cause trouble, we do not allow people to pseudo analyse others. We do our best to clarify what is, and what is not acceptable behaviour.

I know some of you will have had horrid experiences of trusting people, I know I have too.


Again trust your gut, look after you, if it doesn't feel good it probably isn't.


Now in return I want to ask a favour of you.


Will you do your best to remain in integrity with me?

Will you not cyber bully me, or talk badly of me?

Will you show up fully if you book a session or seat in a class, will you bring your best self to the calls and classes, if I promise to do the same for you?


None of us are perfect, and I may may make mistakes along the way. Will you cut me some slack if I do?


Please do not give me your power, or hand your life over to me, I honestly do not want to be in that position.


I am not your guru, not really a teacher, even though I suppose you could say I teach.


I see myself as a guide along the way, pointing the way, it is up to you which path you take. I can tell you what worked for me and what didn't. I can share my experiences with you, and I can give you my opinion if you want it. The rest dear one is up to you.


I would love it if you would be respectful of me, and kind and value the stuff you receive from me. I can promise you my heart has gone into it and more.


I promise I will do the same for you.


I also am not going to apologise if I do not think something is acceptable, I decide who I want in the group and who I don't.


Well, dear one,


I've covered as much as I can for now.


I may update this as we go.


I know that you understand my reasons for writing this here.


My heart is full of love for you all, and I care deeply.


I cannot however take responsibility for your life, make decisions for you, or live your life for you.


You are under no obligation to stay here, to continue paying for something you think is not serving you. I have worked hard to alleviate that ever happening.


Some say I am silly, that I could make more money setting up ongoing memberships etc.

Yes I could, but I don't want to.


I want our relationship to be clean and clear,

and of love as much as we are able to offer each other.


Thank you if you have read this far, I love you.


Julie
