Terms of service
Effective Date: Nov 30, 2025
Welcome to NewStarSeed — a sacred sanctuary dedicated to intentional products, transformative sessions, and ceremonial experiences. By visiting our website, booking with us, or entering our studio spaces, you agree to the terms below. These guidelines help us maintain a safe, harmonious, and energetically aligned environment for all.
For any inquiries, reach out with love at support@newstarseed.com
1. Purpose Of Our Offerings
All NewStarSeed offerings — whether products, ceremonies, sound journeys, or healing sessions — are created to support personal, spiritual, and holistic well-being.
Please note:
- We do not make claims of specific outcomes or guaranteed transformation.
- Our facilitators are not medical professionals or licensed therapists.
- Sessions are intended for self-discovery, inner connection, and personal insight.
- You remain responsible for your own physical, emotional, and energetic well-being at all times.
Our intention is to hold space — not to diagnose, treat, or guarantee results.
2. Responsible Use of Products
Our products are crafted and curated for mindful, ceremonial, and spiritual use.
To keep your experience safe:
- Herbs, oils, botanicals, and incense are for external use or ceremonial smoke only.
- Never leave burning items unattended — treat fire as a sacred element.
- Keep all products away from children and pets.
- Sound healing instruments should be used consciously, especially with pacemakers, epilepsy, pregnancy, or hearing sensitivities.
By purchasing or using our offerings, you accept responsibility for their safe and appropriate use.
3. Participation in Sessions, Ceremonies & Events
Your participation in any NewStarSeed experience — including sound baths, halotherapy, mindful movement, reiki, intuitive services, private sessions, retreats, and high-risk ceremonial practices such as firewalking — is entirely voluntary.
By booking or attending, you acknowledge:
- You have read and agreed to our Universal Waiver & Release of Liability.
- All participants must sign the waiver before attending any session.
- Our system automatically sends your waiver after booking, and it’s included in all Event Detail emails.
- If you didn’t receive it, you agree to notify us before your session.
- You are physically, mentally, and emotionally able to participate and have disclosed anything relevant.
- You may adjust, modify, or decline any part of the session — your body and boundaries come first.
- Sessions may include harmonious sound, soft lighting, essential oils, halotherapy, or other sensory elements.
- Firewalking and other ceremonial activities involve inherent risk, including burns, and you choose to participate at your own discretion.
Age Requirements
- Participants must be 13+, unless pre-approved by NewStarSeed facilitators.
- Anyone under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian and have a co-signed waiver.

Assumption of Risk
By participating, you consciously accept all inherent physical, emotional, psychological, and environmental risks.
Right to Refuse Service
We lovingly reserve the right to decline service to anyone engaging in unsafe, disruptive, or disrespectful behavior. Refunds or credits will not be offered in these circumstances.
4. Community Sound Baths & Complimentary Offerings
From time to time, NewStarSeed may offer complimentary community sound baths or other community-based experiences as a gift to our community.
By registering for or attending any community or complimentary offering, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Community sound baths and complimentary offerings are provided at no monetary cost and hold no cash, credit, or refund value.
- Complimentary events are subject to limited capacity and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Registration, attendance, or interest in a community sound bath does not guarantee access to future complimentary or paid events.
- Complimentary tickets, reservations, or invitations cannot be transferred, refunded, exchanged, or applied as credit toward paid services, products, or future offerings.
- If a complimentary or community event is rescheduled or cancelled, this does not create an obligation for NewStarSeed to provide replacement sessions, credits, tickets, or guaranteed access to future events.
- NewStarSeed reserves the right to modify, reschedule, cancel, or add community offerings at any time based on availability, capacity, demand, or operational needs.
Community offerings are shared in the spirit of generosity and connection and are not considered paid services or contractual entitlements.
5. Emergency Care
If an emergency arises, you authorize NewStarSeed to seek appropriate care on your behalf.
You are responsible for any related costs.
6. Photography, Media & Sacred Space Privacy
Client Photography
- No filming or photography is permitted during sessions unless the facilitator invites it.
- Before and after sessions, photos may be taken with the consent of all present.
- Promotional photography is always optional — you may submit a Media Opt-Out Form at any time.
Studio Security Recording (Video + Audio)
To protect the safety and energetic integrity of our community:
- Our studios may have security cameras recording video and audio in common areas.
- These recordings are used only for safety, security, and operational review.
- They are never used for marketing without explicit permission.
- Private areas, including washrooms, are never recorded.
These measures help maintain a safe and sacred environment for everyone.

Fraudulent referrals (self-referrals, duplicate accounts, same household, spam) will be voided at NewStarSeed’s discretion.
Blessings Adjustment & Technical Accuracy
Blessings may be corrected, revoked, or manually adjusted in cases of:
