Frequently Asked Questions
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
We understand that plans sometimes change. If you need to cancel your registration:
10 or more days before the workshop: You may receive a full refund, minus any non-refundable processing fees, or transfer 100% of your registration fee to a future SCP workshop.
5–9 days before the workshop: You may receive a 50% refund or transfer 100% of your registration fee to a future SCP workshop.
Less than 5 days before the workshop: Registration fees are non-refundable, but 100% of your registration fee may be transferred to a future SCP workshop.
No-shows without notice: If you do not attend the workshop and have not contacted SCP prior to the start of the workshop, your registration fee is non-refundable and cannot be transferred to a future workshop.
Workshop credits must be used within 12 months of the original workshop date. Transferring your registration does not extend the original 12-month credit period.
If SCP cancels or reschedules a workshop, you may choose either a full refund or transfer your registration to a future workshop.
Do I need previous meditation or Monroe Institute experience?
No. Exploring Consciousness is designed for both beginners and those who already have experience with meditation or consciousness exploration.
What should I bring?
Bring comfortable clothing, a pillow and blanket, and a journal or notebook if you'd like to record your experiences. Headphones are provided, although you're welcome to bring your own wired stereo headphones. You'll receive additional information about what to bring before your workshop.
Are meals provided?
Meals are not included with registration. We have a 90-minute lunch break each day, and a group of us typically walks to a nearby restaurant for lunch. You're very welcome to join us—just plan to purchase your own meal. You're also welcome to bring your own lunch if you prefer.
What if I have a health condition or take medication?
Participants are asked about relevant health conditions and medications during the registration process. If you have questions about whether a condition or medication may affect your participation, please contact SCP before registering.
I still have a question. How can I contact you?
Use the contact form on the Sterling Consciousness Pathways website and we'll be happy to help.
