Berkeley BPI

Where to join from:

Please create a personal sanctuary from which to attend your online activity, somewhere free from distractions, interruptions, and background noise. It is generally not appropriate to attend an online activity from a moving car, a coffee shop, an airport terminal, or from similar busy and/or public places.
During your online activity, please sit in a comfortable, stationary chair with your feet touching the floor. Swivel chairs, chairs on wheels, and recliners are not suitable for class. Laying down is also not appropriate.
You may wish to have on-hand crayons and paper for some of activities or to jot down a thought. That said, we do not recommend constant note-taking, as it generally distracts participants from being fully-present in class.

How to join us online:

The link to join online will generally be sent to you in an email after you register. Please check your spam folders if you do not see it.
We find that the most stable connections for online activities are with laptops and desktop computers. Joining from cellphones or tablets is not as ideal, as application functionality is sometimes limited, connectivity drops are more common, and audio quality can be lessened.
If you are using a headset or microphone, please test that they are working correctly before joining us online.
Please keep yourself muted when not speaking, as this reduces distractions for other participants.
We ask that you have your video on, so we can see you :-)

General etiquette and other best-practices:

Be on time! This generally means showing up ~25-30 minutes before an activity begins.
Please join in an unaltered state. Being under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or other substances is not appropriate when participating in our activities.
By joining online, you are also agreeing to the following statements:
- I understand that this is a spiritual sanctuary. All instruction, counseling, and healings are for my spiritual benefit. They are not intended to replace or substitute for any medical, physical, emotional, or mental treatment or help I may need.
- I understand that the Church of Divine Man and the Berkeley Psychic Institute are not public spaces, including any and all of their Zoom activities. By attending, I agree to be recorded, and I acknowledge that I am to be an associate member for the duration of my visit.
- I agree to respect the right to privacy of each person attending this activity. I will not share screenshots, images, or personal information seen or shared by other participants. I will not share the personal information of others from this activity on social media, web platforms, or elsewhere.
