ALL RETREAT PARTICIPANTS ARE ACKNOWLEDGING
AGREEMENT TO THE FOLLOWING WHEN THEY ENROLL

Step 1. – Please Read Fully

We extend our thanks to you for acting in full awareness. If you are intending to join us, after reading this document please submit the acknowledgement form at the bottom of the page. Then continue your enrollment. 

Welcome and Congratulations on desiring to join our exciting retreat program. We realize that we are asking those who are newly interested in our work to actually, in a manner of speaking, be in ‘training’ for our retreats. We wish there was a way to provide you easier access to our work; meaning that it would be wonderful if we could just allow everyone to join us. However, the work we are doing is probably the most serious level of Ascension Mastery work now being conducted, and you have to be a very dedicated individual to take part.

There are many other retreats and courses of study out there, so please understand we are not restricting you if you do not desire follow our particular methods of teaching this work.  (The Chopra Center for example, offers complete Mind Body Spirit Retreats for about $3000 for a 6-day retreat; Esalen offers 5-day for prices ranging from $650-$3550.)

It is a personal sacrifice, one that is well understood by the Team of Light, to commit yourself to this type of personal journey in lieu of using your funds to engage in the more tradition material pursuits of a vacation.  We often say, we know this work is clearly not for everyone, and we understand it is the dedicated initiate, torchbearer, wayshower or lightworker that is able to put aside the pulls of the material world to make themselves available to do this work.  We thank (in advance) those of you who can join us for this very special event.

Section 1. Enrollment is also an Application to be Approved for Attendance:

• Keep in mind attendance is not guaranteed. Enrollment is made by making the exchange payment so that your information and energy can then be reviewed by The Team of Light without Mel and Mike having to do multiple enrollment steps as your intention and direct action is a strong indication of your desire.We provide full disclosure on this page of any information you require to make your decision to enroll.
• We don’t want to make this a complicated process, so as soon as possible we will review any who submit payment. Those who are new to our work will be contacted for a personal SKYPE interview. Therefore, the first condition of your enrollment is that you allow Mel and Mike permission to talk with the Team of Light to review your energies.
• In the rare situation where an application is deemed inappropriate after the SKYPE interview a refund of your enrollment payment (less a non-refundable application charge of $55) will be given within 3 days in any/all such instances. 
• Naturally, it is expected that you participate in our teaching assignments prior to the retreat journey as outlined in the enrollment details so that you know our work. If for some reason you have not sufficiently prepared using the information herein, we remind everyone that attendance at the retreat is not guaranteed as Mel and Mike reserve the right to dismiss any applicant at any time before or during the retreat based on the conscious and/or subconscious energies that you currently carry within your four body system (mental, emotional, physical and etheric.)  We do not anticipate this occurring but it needs to be stated.
• If such dismissal should occur before or during the retreat no refund will be given for any full or partial unused retreat days remaining including the day in which the dismissal occurs.
  
• This retreat is Not For Everyone so please understand that if you are not ready to attend at this time that it does not mean you cannot do so in the future. Our work requires each participant to be actively working on themselves with our teachings and if they are not, it seriously effects the group energies as we all learn how to live in Fifth Dimensional community.
• If you are not dismissed but for some other reason must depart the retreat before it concludes, no retreat exchange refunds will be given either in partial or full. Always speak with Mel and Mike before taking such action. Any exceptions to this part of the agreement are entirely at the sole discretion of Mel and Mike.

Section 2. Agreeing to Your Role and Our Role:

• Personal Responsibility: The retreat is intended for the responsible and serious student of Ascension Mastery Teachings. (That means: one who desires the most out of their life in terms of being noble, honest, passionate, compassionate and walking the talk in action of service to meet the highest values tandard for themselves and humanity.) While we are going to have great fun and connect with the higher energies, one must not regard this retreat as simply a getaway vacation.  The energies of the New Earth will alter human consciousness and the Team of Light desires Lightworkers/Starseeds/Initiates to be fully ready.  The retreat can be intense and is designed bring to you the best preparation that is currently available.
• Our Teachings Only: Our work is accessible by all levels of initiates; please be aware that while our work may seem similar to other teachings you may have experienced or currently be using, our teachings are not the same. Through our research to-date we have found no other teaching system that is using the highest frequency of the Oneness of the Unified Whole. Therefore, in order to attend one of our retreats, you must not actively and currently be taking another teaching program by any other school, teaching or methodology. If you are already committed to another program of study please finish that affiliation 30-days prior to attending one of our retreats. We are not stipulating that you may not return to the teachings or programs, only that you must be in a pure and free state of being while preparing for and engaging in our retreats. If you are incorporating practices, prayers and/or meditations you learned elsewhere in your daily life that are near and dear to you, please set them aside for now as they may interfere with this particular work.
  Note: This does not apply to attending traditional religous congregational services one day per week. It does apply if you are involved in any additional non-standard studies within a traditional religious organization, (for example bible study, talmud study, koran studies).
• Guidance Sessions: Private one-on-one discussions may be arranged with Mel and Mike during the retreat to assist; they can be scheduled in the after dinner evening hours for a short duration of 15 to 20 minutes at Mel and Mike’s subject to schedule and availability. One of the designated Service Assistants will have the sign-up sheet with them during the day. (Guidance sessions are part of the retreat exchange and are not charged separately).
• Service Assistants: Each person will be asked to give service during the retreat. This may take the form of helping out with carrying the ceremonial and other items to the sites, assist in saging individuals before the ceremonies, helping with the setup before each ceremony. Two or more people will be designated before each excursion as we will attempt to have everyone take turns in these roles. We will also require some assistance at the house with set-up, preparation and cleanup. Unlike some other retreats you may have experienced, attendees at these retreats are required to assist Mel and Mike as much as possible. (Again, this is not a vacation, relaxation type of retreat. If you are presently not they type of person who desires to be of assistance for the greater good of the group, please do not enroll at this time).
• Personal Reflection: Private time is essential for the healing that needs to be done for meditating and journaling. We want to urge everyone attending to be aware that at this time upon earth, many of us are coming together to remember our times in Lemuria and/or Atlantis and issues will arise from that timeline. It is important that we work through the timelines together so we can be to each other what we are supposed to be in wholeness. This is why Lord Adama is stressing the in-depth work of this retreat. We feel that everyone will walk away with the new essence that is desired for each of us.
• The retreat environment is therefore just like that of a monastery. Silence at most times during the retreat is required. This includes only speaking when necessary even while shopping or being at your room so that your mind gets used to being in reflection. Discussing your normal 3D life circumstances and journey with others goes strictly against the energy of the retreat. Specifically speaking to individuals not attending the retreat that we may meet is not advised. You are advised to only exchange contact information during the retreat duration. If someone wishes to start a conversation with you, simply inform them you are currently doing a few days of silent reflection on a retreat and cannot speak with them at this time but you are happy to contact them in the future.

Section 3. Transportation:

• Mel and Mike have a vehicle that they will use to and from their home. They can hold only 2 to 3 others in their car when doing excursions. They may have another vehicle available as well. However, depending on how many participants attend, you may desire to explore a car rental. It is advised that you arrange an airport car rental or for airport trips. a group van pickup, and to split the daily car rental cost/van fees with other attendees. You would need to prearrange this with them and we will share all attendees contact information for you to discuss this option.
  NOTE: There are no local car rental agencies in Mt. Shasta, only at airports or the larger cities like Medford, Redding or Yreaka. There is Grayhound bus service. Amtrack train is not that simple but is possible. Arrival drops you off at 6 AM a few towns away, and you must take the return trip after midnight. Taxi pickup/dropoff is done by independent drivers and should be arranged in advance as they typically are not waiting at the station, nor may they be available on short notice. This pdf document provides more details for airports and lodging: WTC Mt. Shasta Retreats Travel Info.
  

Section 4. Meals:

• Meal expenses are not included with the retreat enrollment but in order to hold the retreat environment energies intact, we will always eat as a group. This includes when we go to any eating establishment even if we must arrange multiple tables. Please budget accordingly. (FYI for your budget – the rate for our area set for governmental employees is $61 dollars a day for meals including tips/taxes. Keep in mind that in the USA, it is customary to tip a server 15% of the meal price, or more for one who provides better service. This equates to a $3 or more tip on a $20 meal.)
• Unless stated otherwise in the attendee schedule (to be given out prior to the event) breakfast will be on your own prior to the start of each day’s activities.
• We may attempt to engage a private chef for some of the meals which will include vegetarian options. These may be as a brunch, lunch or dinner on any given day or days. If this happens, each meal will require a personal contribution of between $10 – $20 per-person to be paid. You cannot opt out of these meals if they are arranged. We will make every attempt to keep the cost as low as possible. Attendance and payment for these group meals is required unless you have dietary restrictions we cannot meet. If we are unable to arrange a private chef, we will decide as a group upon a suitable eating location for lunches or dinner so that we can eat as a group.
• Snacks: Each retreat day typically runs from 8 am to 6 pm. This may be longer (or less) in some circumstances such as a sunrise ceremony which may be at 6 am. Please make sure you have enough snacking items and water to sustain you between formal meals.

Section 5. Lodging:

There is no lodging space at Mel and Mike’s except for approved long term student initiates that have attained a basic required level of Mastery. They will be in the role of a retreat leader in training or in giving retreat service. No one should ask Mel and Mike about such lodging as invitation is typically made to the initiate only under individual circumstances.

Lodging is therefore encouraged to be at a local hotel or a communal vacation home rental, and to have all participants lodge at the same location whenever possible. For individuals, room sharing at a hotel is a way to travel on a budget if a common home is not arranged. Members who are attending the retreat may talk about such arrangement between themselves and are asked to advise Mel and Mike of their intentions and plans.

Section 6. Preparing for the Retreat:

As stated, we have specific teachings that must be used in preparation. To insure your attendance takes place and that you acknowledge your best intentions and actions be put forth, each applicant must already be practicing, or now begin practicing, the following in order to attend.

In the 14 days (2 weeks) before the retreat:

1. Daily practice (recital and/or mediation) of at least two(2) of the formal Protection Meditations given in our 5-D Body Protection Course.(We suggest doing one in the AM and one in the PM).
2. Weekly practice of the (De)Ascension Meditation. This meditation is also an essential component of an initiates training and we will send it to any approved attendee who does not already own it.
3. 2x Weekly use of the Clearing Protection Bath/Shower. Instructions on this are in this pdf (page 4).
4. Daily Study of the 12 Rays of God. Learn the first 12 Rays of God from our 22 Ray Challenge so that you are apprised of the background information of each of the rays and are able to use them. These teachings include the audio attunements you are required to listen to each day.

For the week (7 days) immediately preceding the retreat, step 3 (cleansing bath/shower) must be done each day. (De)Ascension Meditation must be done 1x Daily in substitution of on eof the protection meditations.  Remember these will be busy preparation or travel days for most attendees, so make sure you have prepared what you need in advance so that you have time to attend to these requirements.

Section 7. List of Prohibited Actions:

1. No ALTERED SUBSTANCE Use At Least 60 days prior to, and during the retreat. Any serious initiate on this pathway knows that drug use or altered substances use is not part of the true path to enlightenment. All mood-altering and psychotropic substance such as salvia, ayahuasca, marijuana, and cigarettes are included including substances not listed. If feel you must use medical marijuana or any so-called ‘spiritual drug’, that is your free choice and determination, but you cannot attend our retreats while you are active or have been active within the prior 60 days.  (For a message from Lord Adama on this topic, click here.)
2. No Violent/Graphic/Crime/Action Drama TV/Media Entertainment At Least 30 days prior to, and during the retreat. These types of media entertainment vehicles are not part of the higher realm of existence.  Just like drug use, they significantly alter your four body system. This applies to many of the current PG and PG-13 rated productions rated as graphic action scenes or contains scenes that may be unsuitable for children. (They are unsuitable for you too). During the retreat there should be no use of TV/media period.
3. No alcohol one week prior to the retreat and during the retreat. Occasional social use of alcohol before that is fine as long as it is not used in excess, as in, one or two drinks every few days for example.
4. No Cell/Mobile Phone/Device use during the retreat. This is not just a request to keep your phones/devices turned off, it is a requirement that you do not use or carry a phone/device at all for the duration of the retreat (not just when we are together but all day/night) unless it is a personal or family emergency. We require you to have your phone/device collected and held by us to spiritual cleans the device. We will discuss this in more detail when you arrive. A phone placed in airplane mode can be returned to you for emergency message monitoring or use as a camera if you want to take pictures.
   
5. No Photographs of ceremonies. Time will be made for taking pictures afterwards subject to scheduling.
6. No Intimate Relations: We ask all who attend as individuals to set aside the pursuit of new intimate or romantic relations for the duration of the retreat. It is also advised to extend the hold on any involvements for 10 days following the retreat as fully grounding the energy and learning within your four body system can be altered or even prevented by the distractions of another person’s sexual and personal energies. In general this rule is not applied to couples already in existing healthy relationship but it might. Please check with Mel and Mike if you have any questions.

In addition to the above you also hereby certify that:

1.   If you have been addicted to, steadily using, or dependent upon, drugs/alcohol/pharmaceutical (prescription drugs) in your life, you certify that you have been free of any/all substances within the past six (6) months and have been in “active recovery” (in a formal daily or weekly program for drug/alcohol addiction/abuse recovery) for the same past six (6) months.

2.   You are not currently taking, and have not taken during the past eighteen (18) months, pharmaceutical medications for depression, anxiety or mental imbalance, including but not limited to Prozac, Cymbalta, Lexapro, Zyban, Zoloft, Paxil, etc.

4.     You have a good working use of the English language.

FOR THE ADVANCED STUDENT INITIATE

An acclerated option may be of interest to the advanced student:

• You may actively enroll in our student membership program for at least 30 Days prior to attending a retreat in person. Even though we do not hold daily teachings, active membership means devoting a minimum of 1 hour a day to the internalization and expansion within you by actively utilizing our teachings.
• As part of your membership, in addition to our 2 weekly live teachings, you will receive two additional courses. As an advanced student, you are required to immediately begin studying, using, and perfecting these teachings and Ascension Mastery tools. It is recommended you participate live in the 2 weekly teachings but if you are in a time zone that makes that impractical, you must listen to the audio MP3 recordings within 48 hours of the teaching.

• Weekly this means approximately 1 hour for the Clarion Temple of Oneness, 1.5 hours for the New Earth Golden Cities (or the current applicable Wednesday teaching), 1.5 hours for the Telosian Way, 1 hour for the Rays of God and 1 hour on Protection Protocol meditations.
• Daily frequent use of the Unified Whole-Platinum Net, Violet-Pink-Gold-Blue–Ring Flame Clearing and Protection Invocation when you awaken/go to sleep, enter/depart your home, enter/depart your workplace, enter/depart any public establishment. We use this on each call including the more recent open calls, simply listen to our recent Open MP3 Library calls to learn it.
