By accessing any CISHA property—including this site, our learning platforms, event registrations, or digital downloads—you agree to the terms described below. These standards protect seekers, volunteers, and the spiritual legacy we steward.

Acceptable Use

Respectful conduct

Participants agree to uphold the CISHA Code of Conduct: practice kindness, avoid harassment, and honor cultural sensitivities in chat, email, or on-site interactions. Violations may result in removal from programs without refund.

Account responsibility

If you create a login for resource libraries or volunteer tools, keep your credentials confidential. You remain responsible for any activity that occurs under your account.

Intellectual Property

Content use

Talks, articles, transcripts, and course materials are copyrighted by CISHA or shared under license from the original presenter. You may download resources for personal study but cannot repost them publicly without written permission.

Trademarks

The CISHA logo, Science of Self-Knowledge wordmark, and program names (for example, Meditation Immersion Retreat) may not be used to promote outside events or products without a licensing agreement.

Event Participation

Registrations & cancellations

Retreat and seva registrations may have deadlines or waitlists. If you can no longer attend, notify us promptly so another seeker may take your place.

Risk acknowledgment

Some gatherings include physical activity (walking meditations, seva projects). By attending you accept personal responsibility for assessing your abilities and informing facilitators of any medical considerations.

  • CISHA provides spiritual education and community resources “as is” without warranties of any kind.
  • To the fullest extent allowed by law, CISHA is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from the use of its services.
