Journey Space is a Community of Members who meet the Journey Space Health Criteria and agree to the Journey Space Guidelines.
Applicants are granted Membership once they have met all Journey Space Health Criteria and agreed to Journey Space Guidelines. If you are unable to become a Member, Journey Space can point you to other resources that may offer the type of experience or support that you seek and/or you can ask to be put on a mailing list to be informed of changes in the Journey Space Health Criteria and Guidelines.
Journeys are not for everyone as they can be challenging or may have a destabilizing effect on one’s life. Due to the virtual container where Journeys take place, Journey Space requires that Members meet the Journey Space Health Criteria that set out certain physical and mental health factors that most lend themselves to the well-being of Members and the Journey Space Community during Journeys. In addition, Journey Space has carefully cultivated Guidelines that must be adhered to in order to participate. For these reasons, it is the responsibility of prospective Members to determine if their health is in a place where they meet the Journey Space Health Criteria and that they can agree to follow Journey Space Guidelines.
Information shared with Journey space is confidential and will not be shared outside of Journey Space. You can learn more about this in the Journey Space Privacy Policy.
To support the well-being of its Members, Journey Space maintains Guidelines that must be reviewed before each Journey and, because they may be amended from time to time, you will receive an update on and, in order to continue to participate, will be required to agree to how the Guidelines have evolved. There may be unique Guidelines for each Journey as requirements and expectations can differ, depending on the specific experience intended for a Journey.
The Journey Space Health Criteria are mental and physical health factors that must be met in order for Journey Space to be able to support Members’ well-being during a Journey.
Unfortunately, Journey Space and its facilitators have limitations with respect to being able to support individuals with certain mental and physical health conditions. Because Journeys and Integration are virtual, and facilitators are not acting as medical professionals nor on-site to ensure safety of Members, the Journey Space membership is not open to individuals who cannot meet the Health Criteria, as explained below.
I understand that certain journeys may have additional Health Criteria that may preclude my participation depending on my physical and mental health conditions. This may include physical, mental, or emotional conditions that Journey Space has determined cannot support the well-being of the Journey Space Community.
I understand that any information shared with Journey Space will remain strictly confidential, to be viewed solely by authorized Journey Space representatives.
I further understand that Journey Space seeks to serve the broadest possible audience, and that Journey Space has the mission to provide inclusive access. Although Journey Space is a private Community, it is Journey Space’s intention to support diversity and prohibit any exclusion, harassment, bullying and discriminatory actions based on a person’s sex, gender (including gender identity or expression), sexual orientation, race, color, religion, creed, marital status, national origin, citizenship status, ancestry, medical condition, age, disability, genetic information, veteran or military status, or any characteristic as protected by many federal, state or local laws, except when such a characteristic implicates the Guidelines or Health Criteria.
I understand that I must ensure that I meet all Journey Space Health Criteria and follow all Guidelines agree to the above and to follow all Journey Space Guidelines to become a Member. If I am unable to follow these Guidelines or meet Health Criteria, I agree not to hold Journey Space responsible or liable for exclusion from Journey Space Membership. I further understand that Journey Space Health Criteria and Guidelines are for my well-being and the Community as a whole.
