The terms below cover how you use this site, how we look after your email address, and what the cookies do here. We have written it in plain English on purpose. If anything is unclear, write to awakenedlifecourses@proton.me and we will plain-English it harder.
This site is the public home of Awakened Life, a body of work made up of books, courses and free field manuals. Awakened Life is the brand name under which the work is published. References to we, us and our on this site mean that body of work and the people who built it.
Reading is free. Sharing what you read is encouraged. Quoting us in good faith is fine. What you cannot do is take whole chapters and republish them as your own work, mirror the site or the books elsewhere, or alter the free PDFs and pass them off as something they are not.
The work on this site is not legal, financial, medical or spiritual advice. Do not use it as such. If you are facing a serious decision in any of those areas, speak to a qualified professional in that area.
The free PDFs (the Field Manual, the Standing Orders, the two Operating Manuals) are offered as orientation, not as instructions. They are not a substitute for a doctor, a therapist, a lawyer or an accountant.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Great Awakening, Awakened Life Foundations 1 and Awakened Life Foundations 2 are published on Amazon. When you buy a copy, you buy it from Amazon, and their refund policy applies, not ours.
The Foundations 1 and Foundations 2 courses are hosted on Skool. When you subscribe, you subscribe through Skool, and their terms and refund policy apply. We do not control billing or access on Skool.
We cannot promise that reading any of this will change anything in your life. We cannot promise the work is right for you. We cannot promise that everyone you know will be pleased with the version of you who walks out the other side. Read at your own pace, and your own risk.
We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page when you read it is the version that applies. Material changes will be noted at the top of the page for a month after they happen.
When you ask us to send you a free field manual or sign up to the newsletter, we collect your email address. That is it. We do not collect a name unless you give it to us on the contact form. We do not collect a phone number. We do not collect an address.
The contact form collects your name, email and message. We use them only to reply to you.
We use a standard third-party email tool to send the free downloads and the newsletter. Your email address is stored with that tool, on their servers, under their privacy policy. We can name the tool at any time on request.
We send you the free download you asked for.
If you subscribed to the newsletter, we send you the newsletter. That is roughly one email a fortnight.
We do not sell your email address. We do not rent it out. We do not share it with anyone we are not legally required to share it with.
Every email we send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it and you are off the list.
If you want everything we hold on you deleted, write to awakenedlifecourses@proton.me and we will do that within thirty days.
This site is not aimed at children under the age of sixteen. We do not knowingly collect data on anyone under sixteen. If you believe we have, write to us and we will delete it.
If you are in the UK or the EU, you have the right under UK GDPR and EU GDPR to ask for a copy of any personal data we hold on you, to ask us to correct it, and to ask us to delete it. Write to awakenedlifecourses@proton.me and we will act on the request within thirty days.
This site sets a small number of cookies.
A session cookie that keeps you on the page you are on between clicks. No personal data.
An analytics cookie that tells us roughly how many people visit each page. We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool that does not record IP addresses, does not follow you to other sites, and does not build a profile on you. We can name the tool on request.
That is it. No advertising cookies. No retargeting cookies. No social-share cookies that talk to third parties without you asking them to.
Your browser settings let you block cookies on this site. Doing so should not break anything important. The site will still work. The form will still send. We will see slightly less accurate visitor numbers, which is on us, not on you.
