1. Are you a religious organisation?
   No. The content of our courses does not promote any particular belief system. What we teach is based on leading edge medical and psychological knowledge as well as ancient wisdom, without any religious or sectarian connotations.
    
2. Are you related to the Inner Peace Movement?
   No. We are a privately owned business which is not linked in any way to any other organisation.
    
3. Do you teach meditation?
   Yes, we do. In The Course in Wellbeing we teach eight different styles of meditation as well as numerous life skills. We teach meditation in a way that’s fun and easy to apply in a busy lifestyle. We’re actually so sure that we can teach anyone how to meditate successfully that we offer a full money back guarantee. It says ‘Absolutely positively more inner peace at the end of the course or your money back.’ More information on the Wellbeing Package.
    
4. Do you offer casual classes?
   Yes, we do. Interested people can attend one of our regular Free Introductory sessions. This way, they can learn something useful and check us out without any obligation whatsoever.  Once they have attended the Course in Wellbeing or completed any other course with INNER PEACE, they can attend our free weekly Community Connection sessions for on-going group practice in meditation. A great opportunity to meditate with like-minded people and meet our current teacher trainees who run those sessions. No need to book.
    
5. Does meditation help anxiety?
   Yes, absolutely. As long as you practice regularly, even if it’s just for a few minutes a day, you’ll find that your levels of anxiety will steadily decrease. If you’re on medication, we recommend you advise your doctor that you’re now learning how to meditate, so that your dosage can be monitored and progressively reduced. If at all possible, come to one of our Free Introductory sessions. In just 90 minutes you’ll learn why meditation works. You’ll also learn two techniques that will have an immediate effect on your wellbeing – no more panic attacks! You’ll know what to do to instantly regain control of your mind at any time.
    
6. Does meditation help depression?
   Yes, it does, provided you practice. See answer to Question 5 because the above comments also apply to depression. Thousands of studies have now proven that meditation has the ability to naturally re-balance the chemical and hormonal systems of the body, bringing back more energy and a sense of contentment. For example, let’s mention the hormone DHEA which is linked to ageing and wellbeing. Levels of DHEA tend to diminish with age and are usually very low in people suffering from depression, regardless of their age. In a well-documented study, it has been found that just 20 minutes of meditation can double DHEA levels. To find out more, come to one of our free introductory sessions.
    
7. What is the cost of the course and what does it include?
   The Wellbeing Package starts with a weekend seminar followed by 10 weekly emails to help you establish a practical meditation routine that works for you. It also includes free casual group meditations, a comprehensive 150-page manual, a meditation CD and a full money back guarantee valid for 12 months. It also gives you access to the friendly INNER PEACE team if you have any questions regarding your meditation practice. Just give us a call on 1300 306 708 or email us at inquiries@innerpeace.com.au.
    
   Your investment will vary depending on circumstances - early bird, concessions, couple/group bookings, etc. Please check all details on the Wellbeing Package page. If you want to bring a teenager over 15 still at school, they can come for free! Trainees enrolled in the Teacher Training Diploma Course also come for free. In special circumstances, scholarships are available – details on application.  
    
8. Do I have to pay the whole course in advance and what happens if I cancel or change my mind?
   No. You can pay the specified deposit when you book and instalments until the first day of the course, or the remainder in full. 
    
   If you choose to cancel or change your mind, we appreciate if you let us know as soon as possible. You will receive a full refund of any paid monies less the deposit amount.  The deposit is fully transferrable to any of our other courses within 12 months of the original course's starting date.  This is applicable providing you have notified us of the cancellation/change at least two weeks prior to the starting date of the course. 
    
   In special circumstances, such as a medical emergency or for compassionate reasons, please just let us know and we will create a discretionary arrangement for you.  In some cases, we will require certification of this from an accredited practitioner.   
    
   If you cancel less than two weeks prior to the commencement of the course, all monies less the deposit will be refunded. Your deposit is not necessarily transferrable to another course - this will be decided on the discretion of the facilitator and the circumstances of the course.
    
   Cancellations within one week of the course starting date forfeit all paid monies. In special circumstances, the paid amount (less the deposit) is transferable to another course within 12 months. The deposit remains non-transferrable.
    
9. I don’t like to work in a group setting. Can I have private lessons in meditation?
