Questions

Good to know.

Anything else? Email me.

Is The Returning Voice really free?

Yes. No account, no card. Read, practice, and come back as often as you like. You can also install it to your phone's home screen and use it offline.

Where are my answers stored?

In your own browser, on your own device. Nothing you write in a course or in Practice is sent to me. Each course lets you copy your answers out or clear them.

When does membership open?

A small private beta opens January 9, 2027, by invitation. The Circle opens Thursday, February 18, with a live sound bath that evening. Nothing is for sale yet. Reserve a founding-ring place and I'll write when the doors open.

What is the founding ring?

The first 50 people to join the Circle pay $24 a month instead of $49, for as long as they stay subscribed, and their names go in the founding ring. Reserving a place now costs nothing; you'll hear first when the doors open.

Can I buy a grade?

No. Membership opens the courses, the recordings and the live contact. The grades and seals are earned by practice, at your own pace.

Is this therapy?

No. The courses are for reflection, rest and practice. Every prompt is optional, and each course has a pause button and a page on limits and where to find support. If you're working with a therapist, you're welcome to bring the course into that work.

Can I use a course with a group or with clients?

Yes. Each course has a facilitator section, and you're free to share it with attribution. If you'd like help running a circle, get in touch.
