TERMS & CONDITIONS
Last updated: October 27, 2026
Welcome to the Worldwide Academy for Akashic Studies.
These Terms & Conditions establish the general policies governing participation in Academy programs and outline the additional requirements applicable to specific training programs and cohorts.
Part I: General Academy Terms & Conditions applies to participants enrolled in any Academy program.
Part II: Program-Specific Terms & Conditions contains additional provisions applicable to individual programs and training cohorts.
By registering for an Academy program, participants acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agree to the General Academy Terms & Conditions and the program-specific terms applicable to the program in which they are enrolling.
Program-specific provisions take precedence over general provisions where they address the same subject differently, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
The Worldwide Academy for Akashic Studies offers specialized educational and professional-development programs related to the Pathway Prayer Process© and its associated teachings and practices.
Academy programs may be administered by different participating instructors or their respective businesses, depending on the program and training cohort.
The administering business for each program will be identified in the applicable Program-Specific Terms & Conditions.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, completion of an Academy program does not confer a state-issued license, degree, or governmental credential.
Participants are responsible for reviewing the eligibility requirements, prerequisites, curriculum, schedules, tuition, and other conditions applicable to the program for which they are registering.
Certain Academy programs may require an application, interview, prerequisite certifications, or other qualifications before enrollment.
Registration is considered complete when the participant has fulfilled the applicable registration requirements and successfully submitted the required payment information.
Additional registration conditions may be outlined in the applicable Program-Specific Terms & Conditions.
Academy programs are intended for educational, personal-growth, and professional-development purposes. It is not psychotherapy, counseling, medical care, legal advice, financial advice, or other licensed professional service. Nothing presented through Academy programs should be understood as a substitute for appropriate professional care or advice. The Academy makes no guarantee regarding business success, income, student enrollment, employment, professional opportunities, personal outcomes, spiritual outcomes, or other results arising from participation in Academy programs or certifications. Participants are responsible for exercising their own professional judgment and maintaining appropriate ethical and professional boundaries when applying the knowledge and skills developed through Academy training.
Academy programs may provide opportunities for personal reflection, practice readings, group discussions, and shared learning experiences. Participants are expected to respect the privacy, confidentiality, and personal boundaries of fellow participants, instructors, and individuals involved in practice readings.
Information shared during readings, mentoring sessions, group discussions, or other program activities should be treated as confidential and may not be disclosed outside the program without the express permission of the individuals involved.
Program Recordings
Live training sessions may be recorded and made available to registered participants for educational purposes. These recordings may include participant voices, images, questions, discussions, and other contributions.
By participating in recorded sessions, participants acknowledge that their contributions may be included in recordings accessible to other registered participants. Participants with concerns about recording or privacy are encouraged to contact the Academy before the applicable session.
Recordings and other participant-only materials are intended exclusively for the personal educational use of registered participants. They may not be copied, downloaded except where expressly permitted, distributed, published, shared publicly, or made available to individuals outside the program without written authorization from the Academy.
Individual Mentoring Sessions
Individual mentoring sessions are not routinely recorded or made available through the Academy's learning platform. Recording a mentoring session is at the discretion of the individual instructor or mentor and requires the agreement of both the mentor and participant. If a session is recorded, the instructor or mentor may choose to provide the participant with a recording or private recording link. Recordings are not automatically provided and are not shared with other program participants. Any mentoring recordings provided are intended for the participant's personal use and remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this agreement.
**Confidentiality Responsibilities **
Participants agree to maintain appropriate confidentiality when discussing their experiences in Academy programs, including after the program concludes. The Academy cannot guarantee that other participants will maintain confidentiality but expects all participants to honor these commitments.

Permitted Use
Participants may use Academy materials for their personal study, professional development, and preparation for teaching the Pathway Prayer Process©.

Restrictions on Distribution
Unless expressly authorized by the applicable rights holder, participants may not:
Use of Academy Identity

The Academy will make reasonable efforts to maintain access to its online learning platform, course materials, and recordings. However, uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed due to internet outages, platform disruptions, equipment failures, or other technical circumstances beyond the Academy's reasonable control.
Recordings of eligible live sessions will be made available whenever possible, but availability and recording quality cannot be guaranteed in the event of technical difficulties.
Participants who experience technical difficulties that may interfere with completing required program activities should contact the Academy as soon as reasonably possible.
Participants are expected to engage respectfully, responsibly, and professionally with instructors, mentors, staff, fellow participants, and individuals involved in practice readings or other program activities.

Addressing Conduct Concerns
When concerns arise, the Academy will generally seek to address them through direct communication and an opportunity for resolution, when appropriate.
Depending on the nature and severity of the conduct, the Academy may take reasonable action, including establishing participation boundaries, restricting access to certain activities, or removing a participant from the applicable program.
Serious misconduct may warrant immediate removal without prior warning. Any refund eligibility following removal will be determined in accordance with the applicable refund policy and governing law.

Participants acknowledge that their personal, professional, and teaching outcomes depend on numerous factors beyond the Academy's control.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or to waive any rights or protections afforded to participants under applicable law.
These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state or jurisdiction identified in the applicable Program-Specific Terms & Conditions, except where otherwise required by applicable law.

If the program becomes nonrefundable under the cancellation policy below, any remaining scheduled installments will continue to be due. Failure to complete required payments may result in suspension or termination of access to the program.
Participants may request a refund of tuition paid within 30 calendar days of registration, provided their first individual mentoring session has not yet begun.

Teacher Training consists of three primary components: required Pre-Core preparation, required Core Training, and optional electives.
In addition to the Teacher Training curriculum outlined below, participants must complete all five prerequisite certification courses before the first Core Training weekend.
**Required Pre-Core Preparation **
All components designated as Pre-Core are required for Teacher Training completion and eligibility for certification.
These include:
Some required Pre-Core assignments are supported by corresponding live workshops, including Finding Your Voice and Facilitating a Book Discussion Series. Attendance at these preparatory workshops is encouraged but not mandatory. Participants remain responsible for completing all associated assignments and presentations, regardless of whether they attend the workshops live.
All required Pre-Core assignments and preparations must be completed by the deadlines communicated by the Academy.
Required Core Training
Core Training consists of two live training weekends:
Live attendance at both Core Training weekends is mandatory for Teacher Training completion and eligibility for certification.
Core Training includes presentations, teaching demonstrations, facilitation practice, group activities, and other requirements established by the Academy. Viewing a recording does not substitute for required live attendance at Core Training.
Optional Electives
Elective sessions are offered as additional opportunities for learning and professional development.
Participation in electives is entirely optional and does not affect eligibility for Teacher Training completion or certification.
Optional Shadowing
Teacher Training includes one complimentary shadowing opportunity, subject to instructor availability, class scheduling, enrollment, and Academy guidelines.
Participation in shadowing is optional and is not required for Teacher Training completion or certification. Additional shadowing guidelines, including scheduling and participation expectations, are outlined in Section 19.
**General Program Requirements **
Participants are responsible for completing all required Pre-Core and Core Training components, including assigned readings, practice work, written submissions, presentations, and other activities communicated by the Academy. The Academy may make reasonable adjustments to curriculum, instructors, sequencing, assignments, dates, delivery methods, or program components when necessary to support the learning experience or respond to unforeseen circumstances. Material changes will be communicated to registered participants.
Live attendance at both Core Training weekends is required for Teacher Training completion and eligibility for certification.
The scheduled Core Training dates are:
October 2–3, 2027
October 16–17, 2027
Participants are expected to attend and participate fully in all scheduled Core Training sessions, including presentations, teaching demonstrations, facilitation exercises, and other required activities.
Recordings, if available, do not substitute for required live attendance at Core Training.
Participants who are unable to fulfill the live attendance requirement may not be eligible for certification, even if they have completed all other program requirements.
Completion of both Core Training weekends does not, by itself, guarantee certification.
Participants must also satisfactorily complete all required Pre-Core work and meet the Academy's certification requirements.
Teacher Training includes optional elective sessions designed to support participants' continued learning, professional development, and growth as teachers of the Pathway Prayer Process©. Participation in elective sessions is optional and is not required for Teacher Training completion or certification. Recordings of live elective sessions will be made available to registered participants whenever possible, barring unforeseen technical circumstances. Some elective dates may still be in development when registration opens. For dates not yet announced, Academy instructors will make every reasonable effort to consider the schedules of already-registered participants when finalizing session dates. Announced dates should be considered the currently scheduled dates. An elective session may occasionally be rescheduled when circumstances warrant or when adjusting the date would allow greater participant attendance. When a scheduled date changes, participants will be notified as far in advance as reasonably possible. The Academy cannot guarantee that every elective date will accommodate every participant.
Teacher Training tuition includes four individual mentoring sessions with an assigned Academy mentor:
Pre-Core Mentoring
The three pre-Core mentoring sessions must be completed before the first Core Training weekend begins on October 2, 2027. Any unused pre-Core mentoring sessions expire at that time. They cannot be carried forward, transferred to another participant, or added to the post-Core mentoring period.
Post-Core Mentoring
The fourth mentoring session must be completed within one year following the conclusion of Core Training on October 17, 2027. This session expires on October 17, 2028, if not used.
Purpose and Scope of Mentoring
Individual mentoring sessions are intended to support participants in their development as teachers of the Pathway Prayer Process©. Sessions may focus on teaching preparation, facilitation skills, program requirements, professional development, and questions arising during Teacher Training. Mentoring sessions are not personal Akashic Records readings. Participants wishing to receive an individual reading may arrange one separately with an instructor or practitioner, subject to availability and applicable fees.
**Scheduling and Additional Mentoring **
Participants are responsible for contacting their assigned mentor and scheduling their sessions sufficiently in advance of the applicable deadlines. All sessions are subject to the mentor's availability. The four included sessions represent the full individual mentoring benefit provided through Teacher Training tuition.
Additional mentoring, readings, consultations, or individual support beyond these four sessions may be arranged directly with an Academy instructor or mentor, subject to availability and any applicable fees. Unused mentoring sessions have no cash value and are not refundable or transferable.
Teacher Training tuition includes one complimentary shadowing opportunity with an Academy instructor during a Practitioner or Advanced Practitioner certification class.
Shadowing is optional and is not required for Teacher Training completion or certification.
**Purpose of Shadowing **
Shadowing is intended to provide participants with an opportunity to observe an experienced instructor facilitating a certification class. Participants are encouraged, whenever possible, to shadow an instructor with whom they have not previously studied, allowing them to experience different teaching approaches, facilitation styles, and classroom dynamics.
**Observation and Participation **
Shadowing is primarily an observational experience. Participants may observe the instructor's teaching methods, pacing, classroom organization, facilitation of exercises, responses to student questions, and management of group dynamics. At the instructor's discretion, a shadowing participant may be invited to participate in selected activities when appropriate to the class experience or learning environment. Participation is not guaranteed, and shadowing does not constitute full repeat enrollment in the certification class.
Scheduling and Availability
The complimentary shadowing opportunity must be completed before Core Training begins on October 2, 2027.
Shadowing is subject to instructor availability, class enrollment, scheduling, and the class proceeding as planned. Scheduled classes may occasionally be canceled or rescheduled due to insufficient enrollment or other circumstances.
The Academy will make reasonable efforts to coordinate shadowing opportunities, but cannot guarantee placement with a particular instructor or on a particular date. Participants are encouraged to plan ahead and communicate their availability to allow sufficient time for scheduling.
Post-Class Reflection
When possible, participants and instructors are encouraged to engage in a brief post-class discussion or debrief to reflect on observations, teaching approaches, and questions arising from the shadowing experience. This discussion is optional and subject to instructor availability.
Additional Shadowing Opportunities
Only one complimentary shadowing opportunity is included in Teacher Training tuition. Participants interested in additional shadowing experiences may contact their preferred instructor directly. Additional opportunities are subject to instructor availability, class capacity, and any applicable fees. Unused shadowing opportunities have no cash value and are not refundable or transferable.
Enrollment in Teacher Training does not guarantee certification.
To be eligible for certification as a teacher of the Pathway Prayer Process©, participants must satisfactorily complete all required components of the Teacher Training program, including:
Certification is based on the participant's successful completion of program requirements and demonstrated readiness to teach the Pathway Prayer Process© in accordance with Academy standards.
The Academy will evaluate each participant's progress and readiness based on the requirements and expectations communicated throughout the program.
If a participant has not satisfactorily completed a requirement or demonstrated sufficient readiness for certification, the Academy will communicate the areas requiring further development.
Additional practice, assignments, mentoring, or other activities may be recommended or required before certification can be granted. Individualized support beyond what is included in Teacher Training tuition is subject to instructor or mentor availability, may involve separate fees disclosed in advance, and is not guaranteed.
Certification through the Worldwide Academy for Akashic Studies is a private educational credential. It does not constitute a state-issued license, degree, or governmental authorization to practice a regulated profession.
Teacher Training 2027 is administered by Soul Workings, Inc., in Colorado.
The governing-law provisions in Part I apply to this cohort, with Colorado designated as the governing state, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Participants will have access to their Teacher Training course materials through the Academy's online learning platform for a minimum of one year following the conclusion of Core Training.
For Teacher Training 2027, this guaranteed access period extends through October 17, 2028. Access may continue beyond this period at the Academy's discretion but is not guaranteed.
Continued access is subject to the availability of the learning platform and applicable technical or operational limitations.
Course access does not extend the separate expiration dates established for mentoring, shadowing, or other time-limited program components.
