1. About The L.I.F.E. Gathering

The L.I.F.E. Gathering is a welcoming in-person experience created for women who are ready to begin a new chapter, regardless of what they have been through.

Each gathering may include:

• Lunch, coffee or refreshments

• Guided conversations

• Personal reflection activities

The exact venue, date, time, inclusions and program will be provided on the relevant event registration page.

2. Personal Choice and Participation

The L.I.F.E. Gathering is designed to be a safe, welcoming and respectful environment.

Every attendee has the right to decide:

• How much she wishes to share

• Whether she participates in a particular conversation or activity

• What feels appropriate for her

• Whether she needs to pause or step away

• Which personal reflections she wishes to keep private

You will never be required to disclose personal experiences or discuss anything that you do not feel comfortable sharing.

We ask all attendees to respect the choices, privacy and personal boundaries of every woman in the room.

3. Bookings and Payment

Your place is confirmed once:

• Your registration has been completed;

• Full payment has been successfully processed; and

• You have received a booking confirmation.

Places may be limited and are allocated in the order that completed bookings are received.

All ticket prices are displayed in Australian dollars and include GST where applicable.

You are responsible for ensuring that the name, email address, telephone number, dietary information and other details supplied during registration are accurate.

If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk or spam folder before contacting us.

4. What Your Ticket Includes

Your ticket includes only the items specifically listed on the relevant event registration page.

Depending on the gathering, your ticket may include:

• Entry to The L.I.F.E. Gathering

• Lunch or a selected meal

• Coffee, tea or other refreshments

• A participant folder and handouts 

• Guided learning and reflection activities

• Conversations facilitated by Sharon L. Bech

• Opportunities to connect with other attendees

Travel, accommodation, parking, additional food and beverages, childcare and personal expenses are not included unless expressly stated.

5. Dietary Requirements and Allergies

We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate dietary requirements when they are provided during registration or by the date specified on the event page.

Meals may be prepared by an external venue or catering provider. We cannot guarantee that food will be completely free from allergens or traces of particular ingredients.

If you have a serious allergy, food intolerance or medical dietary requirement, please:

• Tell us when making your booking;

• Contact us before the gathering if you require further information; and

• Speak directly with the venue or catering staff before consuming any food.

You remain responsible for deciding what is safe and suitable for you to consume.

6. Accessibility and Additional Support

We want The L.I.F.E. Gathering to be as welcoming and accessible as reasonably possible.

If you have mobility requirements, accessibility needs or require reasonable assistance to participate, please contact us before booking or as early as possible before the gathering.

Although we will make reasonable efforts to assist, some requirements may depend on the accessibility, facilities and capabilities of the chosen venue.

7. Attendee Cancellations

We understand that life can change unexpectedly.

If you can no longer attend The L.I.F.E. Gathering, please notify us in writing at [insert contact email] as soon as possible.

The date and time that we receive your written cancellation request will be used to determine whether you are eligible for a refund, ticket transfer or future-event credit.

8. Cancellations Seven or More Days Before the Gathering

If we receive your written cancellation request at least seven calendar days before the gathering, you may request a refund of the ticket price.

Any booking or payment-processing fee that was clearly disclosed as non-refundable at the time of purchase may be excluded from the refund.

Approved refunds will be returned to the original payment method wherever possible.

Please allow a reasonable period for the refund to be processed and appear in your account. Processing times may vary depending on the payment provider and your financial institution.

9. Cancellations Between 48 Hours and Seven Days Before the Gathering

If we receive your cancellation request between 48 hours and seven calendar days before the gathering, a cash refund will not ordinarily be available because venue, catering, printing and event costs may already have been committed.

However, you may choose one of the following options:

• Transfer your ticket to another woman; or

• Request a one-time transfer to the next available L.I.F.E. Gathering, subject to availability.

A booking transferred to a future gathering cannot be transferred a second time or exchanged for cash.

If the future gathering has a higher ticket price, you may be required to pay the difference. If it has a lower ticket price, the difference will not ordinarily be refunded.

10. Cancellations Fewer Than 48 Hours Before the Gathering

Cancellations received fewer than 48 hours before the gathering are not eligible for a refund or future-event credit because final venue, catering and event arrangements will generally have been confirmed.

You may transfer your place to another woman, provided that:

• You notify us before the gathering begins;

• You provide the replacement attendee’s full name and contact details; and

• The replacement attendee agrees to these Terms and Conditions.

11. Ticket Transfers to Another Attendee

If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to another woman, subject to the conditions within this policy.

To request a transfer, please email [insert contact email] and provide:

• Your full name

• Your booking or order number

• The new attendee’s full name

• The new attendee’s email address

• Any relevant dietary or accessibility requirements

A ticket is not considered transferred until we have confirmed the change in writing.

Tickets must not be resold for more than the original ticket price.

We are not responsible for privately arranged payments between the original purchaser and the replacement attendee.

12. Transfer to a Future L.I.F.E. Gathering

Where permitted under these Terms and Conditions, an attendee may request a one-time transfer to the next available L.I.F.E. Gathering.

Future-event transfers:

• Are subject to availability;

• Must be approved in writing;

• May only be used by the original attendee;

• Cannot be exchanged for cash;

• Cannot be transferred to another future gathering; and

• May require payment of any difference in ticket price.

If you are unable to attend the gathering to which your booking has been transferred, the ticket will be treated as a non-attendance and no refund, further transfer or credit will be provided.

13. Non-Attendance

If you do not attend the gathering and have not contacted us beforehand, your booking will be treated as a non-attendance.

Non-attendance is not eligible for:

• A refund

• A ticket transfer

• A future-event credit

• Replacement event materials

• Reimbursement of travel or other expenses

14. Exceptional Circumstances

We understand that genuine emergencies, serious illness and unexpected personal circumstances can occur.

Requests outside the standard cancellation policy may be considered compassionately on a case-by-case basis.

We may ask for reasonable supporting information where appropriate.

Considering a request does not guarantee that a refund, transfer or credit will be provided. Any exception applies only to that particular booking and does not change these Terms and Conditions for future bookings.

Nothing in this section affects any rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law.

15. If We Cancel the Gathering

If we cancel The L.I.F.E. Gathering, registered attendees will be offered:

• A full refund of the applicable ticket price; or

• The option to transfer their booking to another L.I.F.E. Gathering.

If a refund is selected following a cancellation by us, we will not deduct booking or payment-processing fees from the refund unless permitted by law.

We are not responsible for separate costs you may have incurred, including travel, accommodation, parking, childcare, loss of income or other personal expenses, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

We recommend making flexible or refundable arrangements when booking any related travel or accommodation.

16. Postponement or Major Changes

We may occasionally need to change:

• The venue

• The date or time

• Catering arrangements

• Event inclusions

• The program

• The format of the gathering

If the gathering is postponed or we make a major change that prevents you from receiving the event you purchased, you will be offered an appropriate remedy in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

• Attending the rescheduled gathering;

• Transferring your booking to another L.I.F.E. Gathering;

• Receiving an event credit; or

• Receiving a refund of the applicable ticket price.

A minor change that does not materially alter the gathering will not automatically entitle an attendee to a refund.

17. Circumstances Beyond Our Reasonable Control

A gathering may need to be postponed, relocated, modified or cancelled because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

These circumstances may include:

• Severe weather

• Natural disasters

• Venue closures

• Government restrictions or directions

• Public-health emergencies

• Transport disruption

• Power outages

• Serious illness

• Safety concerns

• Emergencies or other unforeseen events that make proceeding unsafe, unlawful or impractical

If this occurs, we will communicate with registered attendees as soon as reasonably possible.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we may offer:

• A rescheduled gathering;

• A transfer to another gathering;

• An event credit; or

• A refund.

Nothing in this section excludes any rights or remedies available under Australian Consumer Law.

18. Respectful Conduct

The L.I.F.E. Gathering is built upon safety, connection, compassion, choice and belonging.

All attendees are expected to:

• Treat Sharon, event staff, venue staff and other attendees with courtesy and respect

• Honour other women’s privacy and personal boundaries

• Listen without judgement

• Avoid pressuring another person to speak or participate

• Refrain from discriminatory, threatening, aggressive or abusive behaviour

Bullying, harassment, intimidation, discrimination, threats, violence or abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.

We reserve the right to ask a person to leave if we reasonably believe her conduct is unsafe, seriously disruptive or harmful to another person.

Where an attendee is removed because of serious misconduct or a material breach of these Terms and Conditions, a refund will not ordinarily be provided, subject to Australian Consumer Law.

***any purpose of alcohol is purchased by you.. We will not be providing this… 

19. Confidentiality Within the Gathering

Meaningful connection requires trust.

During the gathering, attendees may hear personal stories or information shared by other women.

You agree not to:

• Repeat another attendee’s personal story without her permission

• Identify another attendee in connection with sensitive information

• Photograph, record or publish another attendee’s contribution without consent

• Share private discussions on social media

• Share confidential information with people outside the gathering

While we ask everyone to respect confidentiality, we cannot guarantee the actions of every attendee. Please consider this carefully when deciding what you wish to share.

If information is disclosed that indicates an immediate and serious risk to someone’s safety, we may need to take reasonable steps to seek appropriate assistance.

20. Photography, Video and Media
