Degarrin Spiritual Intention & Consent Terms

Degarrin believes that each person has a unique connection to the Divine. As each of us strives to connect with our purpose, we often request advice and counsel from others. During your session(s), specifics about health, relationships or even past situations may arise that may or may not be relevant. We may discuss major stresses in your life, your belief systems, health, childhood or other areas that may have an influence on your physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual expression. Please remember that all spiritual advising is presented with the intention of assisting you with your own consciousness, and that you are responsible for your progress and reviewing this guidance within the context of your own life.

By using this site and our services understand and acknowledge the following:

  • The ministers of Degarrin (also “practitioners” or “minister”) are not medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, psychologists or psychiatrists, and do not claim to, nor represent to be, licensed health care providers of any sort.
  • The practitioners do not take any legal or clinical responsibility for my health, welfare, or healthcare. If you have a serious physical or behavioral health problem, you are expected to work with a licensed and qualified conventional or alternative provider. You understand that this spiritual work does not replace such therapies.
  • Regardless of any testimonials or reports of client sessions, the practitioners do not offer diagnosis, treatment or cure for any physical, mental, or emotional health care problem, disorder, or illness.
  • The practitioners consider spiritual services to be distinct and separate from “Fortune Telling,” and do not purport to or offer to tell my fortune.
  • The practitioners reserve the right to refuse spiritual services if you attend a session while drunk or under the influence of other recreational drugs, and recommend that you refrain from the above for twenty-four hours prior to the session. You understand that this is not intended to imply approval or endorsement of such activities.
  • Information given to the practitioners is confidential, and such information will only be disclosed with my written consent. However, if you disclose the potential of harming myself and/or others, or if the information is revealed indicating the potential of harming myself and/or others, the practitioners are legally and morally bound to disclose this information to the appropriate authorities.
  • You will remain clothed during a session, unless otherwise needed for spiritual healing purposes. If it becomes necessary to disrobe, the practitioner will discuss it with you, and you will provide verbal consent.
  • Only respectful touch of your body may be used and only with your permission.
  • Spiritual work done with anyone under the age of eighteen will only be conducted with the approval of a parent or legal guardian, and any and all sessions will take place only with a parental or legal guardian present.

You hereby request the ministration of a minister of Degarrin on your behalf. You understand that the spiritual service and personal rites offered by the minister are for the purpose of assisting you in your spiritual and conscious growth toward wholeness. While Degarrin believes that uniting and balancing one’s total energies often affects the physical body in a beneficial way, you understand that neither Degarrin nor its ministers are purporting to administer directly to the physical body. Likewise, you understand that any preparations or devices offered as part of your personal program are given as sacraments intended to affect in a beneficial way your spiritual condition, and that these will have no medicinal or therapeutic effects upon your physical body. Thus, the ministers do not in any way warrant or imply that their efforts will in any way alleviate your physical or emotional ills.

You release Degarrin and its ministers from any and all liability or claims of whatever nature that may result from your failure to pursue medical remedies for any physical ailments you may have, and you acknowledge that you have not been dissuaded by Degarrin or its ministers from pursuing such remedies. You understand that you are free to seek other help from whatever source you desire, and that the minister is free to cease efforts on your behalf at any time.

You release Degarrin and its ministers from all liability or claims of any kind arising from sessions or rites under their auspices, and you understand that all results are contributive to research and utilizations of future programs of Degarrin, while preserving your privacy.

You release Degarrin and its ministers from all liability or claims of any kind arising from injuries that occur while on Degarrin property and/or any property that Degarrin and its ministers are using for services.

You agree not to disclose material from confidential sessions without written consent from Degarrin or its representatives. You understand and agree that sessions may be recorded using audio and/or video devices, and that Degarrin and its ministers shall inform you of their use of these devices before a session begins.

You have read, or have had read to me, this informed consent document. You are in full agreement and accept the methods being utilized for the prevention of and possible improvement of those conditions that impair my ability to function as an individual. You intend this consent document to cover the entire course of spiritual services that you seek from Degarrin in the present and future.
