🌿 Program Policies – Group Mentoring & The Art of Facilitation

6-Month Program with Claudia Cuentas, LMFT

1. Attendance

• Commitment to Presence: Participants are expected to attend all scheduled bi-weekly live sessions ( bi-weekly, Sep 9, Sep 23, Oct 14, Oct 28, Nov 11, Nov 25, Dec 16, 2026, Jan 13, Jan 27, Feb 10, Feb 24 - 2-hour live calls (Zoom) from 5:30 to 7:30 PM PT), plus optional Perú Retreat: Dates March 3-9, 2027).

• Absences: If you must miss a session, please notify the facilitator in advance. One absence may be made up through review of session materials and a written reflection. More than two absences may affect your completion status.

• Punctuality: Arriving on time honors the group container. Sessions will begin promptly, with opening rituals.

• 1:1 support and integration Session: As the cycle of the mentoring program ends, every participant will have a dedicated one-on-one support and integration session with Claudia Cuentas to ensure personal assistance, grounding, and guidance for your next steps.

2. Participation

• Confidentiality: All personal and professional experiences shared in the group are held in confidence. Recording of sessions is not permitted unless explicitly agreed upon by Claudia.

• Engagement: Active participation is expected — sharing insights, engaging in discussions, and completing reflection or practice exercises between sessions.

• Respect & Cultural Humility: The circle is inclusive of diverse cultural, spiritual, and personal experiences. We ask participants to practice deep listening, non-violent communication, and respect for differences.

• Community Agreements: Each cohort will co-create agreements during Session 1 (e.g., confidentiality, speaking from “I” statements, honoring silence, no unsolicited advice).

3. Payment Terms

• Tuition: Economic Justice based on the Green Bottle Model - More information here.

• Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of $700 is due upon acceptance to secure your place.

• Balance: Remaining tuition is due one week before the program start (September 2, 2026).

• Payment Plans: Limited installment plans may be available upon request.

• Scholarships & Reduced-Fee Spots: A number of scholarships and reduced-fee seats are available. Applicants must complete the Scholarship Application as part of their program application.

• Refunds: Tuition (minus deposit) may be refunded if withdrawal occurs more than 14 days before program start. No refunds will be issued after the program begins, due to the small-group nature of the mentorship.

4. Mutual Reciprocity

In alignment with Ayni, participants are encouraged to contribute to the learning community not only by receiving mentorship but also by offering their presence, insight, and support to others. This shared responsibility strengthens the integrity of the program container.
