The Aletheia Advanced Coaching Program and Advanced Developmental Strategies courses provide professional educational training, offered by Aletheia Academy LLC (Aletheia). It includes recorded and live lectures, solo exercises and practices, peer coaching sessions, and group discussions. The curriculum is designed to support developing yourself as an Aletheia Coach or Aletheia Unfolding Practitioner.

USE OF MATERIALS, RECORDINGS, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY:

As a participant in the Advanced Coaching Program, you will receive materials and recordings (resources) copyrighted by Steven A. March and Alētheia Academy LLC. You understand and agree that you may keep these resources for use in your professional coaching practice, provided that:

  1. You agree to reproduce the copyright notice shown in the materials.

  2. You agree to inform your clients that their source is Steve March and Alētheia.

You understand that you are not authorized to sell or use copyrighted materials, recordings, and intellectual property in products or services that are independent of the coaching services you provide to your individual coaching clients, and you agree not to do so.

Moreover, you understand that you are not authorized to teach Alētheia Unfolding or Alētheia Coaching, in part or whole, in any training program, and you agree not to do so.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY

As a participant in the Alētheia community, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of other participants' personal information, experiences, and shared content. This includes, but is not limited to, details shared during live and practice sessions, as well as within the community. You understand that:

  1. You will not disclose any personal information from other participants without their explicit consent.

  2. You will not disclose any personal experiences of other participants without their explicit consent.

  3. If you wish to use someone else’s experience to frame a question or discussion, you will refrain from mentioning their name or identifying details unless you have their permission.

This confidentiality extends to all course materials and recordings, which you agree not to share outside the course community.

By continuing with the course, you acknowledge your responsibility to uphold these confidentiality practices to support a safe and trusted learning environment.

USE OF CONTACT INFORMATION

To facilitate partnering for exercises and other course-related activities, you understand that you will receive the email contact information of all participants in the course and agree to use this contact information solely for course-related purposes, such as collaboration and communication related to exercises, practices, and discussions. You also agree not to use this information for any non-course-related purposes, including marketing, solicitation, or sharing with third parties. 

By enrolling, you consent to receive course-related email communication from the Alētheia team and other enrolled participants. You may request removal from peer-to-peer contact lists at any time.

MEDIA RELEASE CLAUSE

By participating in live sessions, you understand that sessions will be recorded and stored for educational purposes. These recordings may include your image, voice, name, and any contributions you make during the session (such as comments, questions, or shared reflections).

Recordings are used to support the learning of current and future course participants in accordance with this agreement and applicable privacy laws. 

  • Recordings that include participants will be accessible only within a private course platform and will not be shared publicly or outside the Alētheia community without explicit written consent. 

  • Recordings that only include faculty lectures or responses to questions may be used for public marketing purposes.

By enrolling in the course, you grant Alētheia permission to use live session recordings, including segments that include your participation, for internal educational purposes. If you wish to participate in a session without being recorded, you may choose to keep your camera off.

We reserve the right to record mentor coaching sessions for the purpose of faculty training. However, we will ask for your permission before doing so.

You acknowledge that while Alētheia takes measures to protect these recordings, we cannot guarantee against unauthorized copies, and you release Alētheia from liability for such acts.

FULFILLMENT POLICY

Tuition for all courses is due prior to the start of the course, unless you have opted for an installment plan. If you are paying in installments:

  • Your first payment is due prior to the course start date.

  • All subsequent payments must be completed before the course ends.

To maintain access to the course, you are responsible for ensuring your payment method is up-to-date and that monthly payments are processed successfully. If your installment plan is canceled due to failed charge attempts and we do not hear from you by the cancellation date, you will be temporarily removed from the course space on our community platform until payment is resolved.

INSTALLMENT PAYMENT FAILURE & REINSTATEMENT POLICY

To avoid interruptions, please ensure:

  •  Your credit card details are current.

  • You promptly resolve any failed payments. 

  • You check spam folders for billing emails and add contact@integralunfoldment.com to your safe sender list.

If a payment attempt fails, the following steps and policies apply:

1. Failed Payment Notification

  •  Upon the first failed attempt, we will notify you and request that you resolve the issue within 10 days to ensure uninterrupted service.

  •  Squarespace automatically retries the charge twice: once after 5 days of the first failed attempt, and again 5 days later.

2. Subscription Cancellation & Access Suspension:

  •  If payment is not successfully processed within 10 days of the first failed payment attempt, your subscription will be automatically canceled.

  •  You will be removed from the course space on Mighty Networks and lose access to all course content until the payment is resolved.

3. Reinstatement & Administrative Fee:

  •  A $100 USD reinstatement fee will be applied each time a manual resolution is required to restore your enrollment. This includes, but is not limited to, creating custom invoices or new installment plans.

  •  Your outstanding balance plus the reinstatement fee must be paid in full before access is restored. 

4. Ongoing Responsibility:

  •  By enrolling in the installment plan, you agree to complete all scheduled payments regardless of whether you complete the course or withdraw. Canceling a subscription does not release you from this obligation.

  •  Transferring cohorts or losing access temporarily does not pause your financial obligations. Your installment plan remains active until the full tuition amount is paid.

By enrolling in the course, you acknowledge and accept responsibility for ensuring successful payments and agree to the reinstatement policy outlined above.

REFUND POLICY

A refund of your tuition payment is available only if you cancel the enrollment prior to the start of the course. A $200 USD non-refundable administrative fee will be deducted to cover the administrative and coordination costs associated with processing your enrollment and refund request. 

No refunds will be issued once the course has begun. Any remaining balance must still be paid according to the original payment terms.

Please note:

  • Our courses have limited capacity, and we often have a waitlist. Once enrollment closes, your spot cannot be filled by another participant.

  • We encourage you to ensure this program is right for you before enrolling. If you’re uncertain, we recommend booking a few sessions with an Alētheia coach to gain a deeper understanding of our methods and confirm alignment with your learning goals. You can request a referral to an Alētheia coach via our website. Coaching sessions are independently priced and scheduled by each practitioner.

By enrolling in the course, you agree to these terms and accept the non-refundable nature of the administrative fee.

COHORT TRANSFER AND WITHDRAWAL POLICY

We acknowledge that life circumstances may require adjustments and, for this reason, we offer flexibility with cohort transfers.

Participants may request a transfer to a new cohort up to and including the 6th session of the course. If you opt to transfer to a future cohort, you consent to comply with the following process:

  • You must submit a request in writing to contact@integralunfoldment.com, stating your reason for the transfer and the cohort/year to which you intend to return.

  • Installment payments must continue until the full tuition is paid. Transferring to another cohort will not stop your installment plan. 

  • You must pay a transfer fee of $200 USD, due in full prior to the start of the new cohort. This fee is non-refundable.

  • Any remaining individual coaching sessions with faculty will be transferred to the new cohort.

  • You will be removed from the course space on Mighty Networks. 

  • You will have up to 2 years to transfer to another cohort. After 2 years, you will need to submit a new application, enroll again, and pay the current course fee.

No transfer is possible after the 6th session of the course; however, you can withdraw from the course at any time. If you opt to withdraw from the course, you consent to comply with the following process:

  • You must submit a request in writing to contact@integralunfoldment.com, stating your reason for the withdrawal.

  • Installment payments must continue until the full tuition is paid. Withdrawing from the course does not release you from the obligation to complete your installment plan. No refunds are available after the course has started (See Refund Policy).

  • Any remaining individual coaching sessions with faculty will be forfeited.

  • You will be removed from the course space on Mighty Networks.

  • You may opt to enroll in a new cohort at the discounted rate for returning students. Please note that this rate does not include faculty coaching. You may be required to purchase coaching sessions with faculty to fulfill the certification requirements.

COURSE ACCESS DURATION

Participants will have access to course materials, including session recordings, handouts, and other learning resources, through our online platform for a minimum of two (2) years after the course end date. Access may remain available for a longer period at Aletheia’s discretion; however, once the stated period has passed, Aletheia reserves the right to remove the course space and its contents at any time without prior notice.

If Aletheia discontinues its offerings or winds down operations before the two-year period ends, we reserve the right to remove access to course materials, recordings, handouts, and other learning resources earlier. In such cases, we will make a reasonable effort to provide advance notice.

PROGRAM MODIFICATION

Aletheia reserves the right to make reasonable changes to the program’s structure, schedule, or facilitation when necessary. While we intend to deliver each course as advertised, modifications may occasionally occur due to illness or unforeseen events.

In the event that Steve March or another core faculty member is unable to lead a live session, a qualified substitute faculty member may step in. In rare cases, a previously recorded session may be provided in place of a live class. Additional support will be provided as necessary to ensure continuity. These decisions are made with care to preserve the depth and integrity of your learning experience.

We also reserve the right to update or enhance course content, adjust the course delivery platform, or consolidate materials from multiple cohorts into a shared archive for future access.

FORCE MAJEURE (Events Beyond Our Control)

Alētheia shall not be held liable for delays, interruptions, or changes in program delivery caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, public health emergencies, labor disputes, or technology platform failures.

DISMISSAL

Alētheia Academy LLC reserves the right to dismiss a student from courses at its discretion if behaviors arise that are deemed unacceptable or disruptive to the learning environment. This may include, but is not limited to, actions such as repeated violation of confidentiality, harassment, discrimination, intimidation, or unauthorized redistribution of course materials, recordings, handouts, or other learning resources.

Our priority is to ensure a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all participants. These measures are in place to protect the well-being of the entire community.

ACCESSIBILITY ACCOMMODATIONS

If you require accessibility accommodations to participate fully in this program, please notify us in writing prior to the start of the course so that reasonable adjustments can be made.
