About the Self Study Program

What does “self-paced” mean?

Self-paced means that you are responsible for your self study practice. That means that no one else can do it for you. If you are not very present with the program (ie meetings, office hours, home explorations) you likely won’t feel satisfied. Self-paced means that there will be periods throughout the program where you’ll find more space in your life or feel more motivated to implement certain practices. There will be others where something else takes more of your time and attention. All of it is ok - and, the more consistently present you are with the program, the more you’ll receive from it. You will have access to the content from the program for 1 additional year after the program has ended.

How did Kate and Ruby get here?

Kate and Ruby co-created this program in 2020 combining years of experience in their own personal self study practice, as well as coaching and facilitating self study practices, into this well-rounded 9 month long program. 

Kate is a certified Personal Trainer, an E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher and a licensed Integral Coach.

Ruby is both an E-RYT 500 Yoga teacher and is an Ayurvedic Health Counselor.

Kate and Ruby also both have backgrounds in music and dance which they recognize plays a large role in their understanding and love of bodies in development.

A large portion of their training has been in the practice of svadhyaya: the study of oneself. Kate and Ruby are always growing, shifting, developing.

What if I don’t want to continue participating in the program?

If, at any time, you would no longer like to continue participating in the Self Study Program, that is absolutely your choice. The entire program cost is non-refundable whether you are paying in full or doing monthly payments. On that day that you enroll in the program and set up your payment choice you are entering into a binding agreement to complete the total cost of the program. If you are considering leaving the program once you’ve already signed up, please email Kate and Ruby at [email protected] so that we can schedule a conversation.

What is the total financial investment of the SSP?

The total financial investment of the SSP is $4794. (Early Bird rate is 20% off)

You may choose to pay in full in one payment or a 3 month payment plan.

Why is the cost of the program non-refundable?

The cost of the program is non-refundable for two reasons: the first being that there are a limited number of spots available in the program and the program will be full. The second being that the Self Study Program is an investment. Money takes time and energy for you to earn and we trust that you’re here because you’re interested in investing in yourself, your relationships, and your impact on the people around you. Because you are paying money for this program, you’re more likely to commit to the practices even when you find it challenging.

 Do I have to pay the full amount all at once?

No. You can make 1 payment, or you can choose to set up a 3 month payment plan.

 Is the SSP therapy?

No. The SSP is not therapy nor are Kate and Ruby therapists. Kate and Ruby both see their own therapists and highly recommend therapy. The SSP is a wonderful program to utilize alongside therapy. It’s not necessary that you be in therapy to participate in this program.

What information do we collect and what do we do with it?

When you enroll as a student or subscriber on thedualityproject.com, as part of the enrolling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name and email address.

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Kajabi

Our course and site is hosted by Kajabi. They provide us with the online course creation platform that allow us to sell our product/services to you.

Payment:

If you make a purchase on our site, we use a third party payment processor such as Stripe or Paypal. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our site and related courses and its service providers.

Third Party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our course website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

Security

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption.  Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
