Terms of Service

7.1 Nature of the Program

Somenta involves experiential practices that engage the body, emotions, and attention. These may include breathwork, meditation, somatic movement, yoga, guided visualization, and deep emotional sharing in group settings. These practices are designed to support personal integration and growth, and they involve intentionally directing awareness toward thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations.

7.2 Physical Risks

Participation in physical practices such as breathwork, yoga, and somatic movement carries inherent risks. These may include, but are not limited to: muscle strain, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, changes in blood pressure, and in rare cases, physical injury. You acknowledge that you participate in all physical practices at your own risk and that Somenta, its founders, coaches, and facilitators shall not be held liable for any physical injury sustained during your participation in the Services.

You are responsible for consulting with your physician or healthcare provider before beginning any new physical practice. If you have any medical conditions, injuries, or physical limitations, it is your responsibility to disclose them to your coach and to modify or abstain from practices as appropriate.

7.3 Emotional and Psychological Risks

Engaging in deep integration work, somatic practices, and emotional sharing within a group setting may cause feelings of sadness, anger, fear, grief, or other strong emotions to feel more intense initially. This is a normal part of the process of paying conscious attention to emotional and physical experience. However, these practices are not therapy and are not designed to treat or diagnose any mental health condition.

You acknowledge and accept that emotional intensity may arise during your participation, that this is part of the process and not an indication of harm, and that Somenta is not responsible for managing your emotional experience outside of sessions.

7.4 Voluntary Participation

Your participation in all Somenta activities, sessions, and practices is entirely voluntary. You may choose to modify, pause, or opt out of any practice or session at any time without explanation or consequence. You are solely responsible for your own wellbeing during and after participation.

8.1 Somenta Is Not Clinical Care

Somenta provides peer support, community connection, and integration coaching. Somenta does not provide therapy, counseling, psychiatric care, medical advice, or any licensed professional clinical services. No coach, facilitator, or staff member at Somenta is acting in the capacity of a licensed therapist, counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, or medical professional in their role within the Somenta community.

Nothing in the Services should be construed as a diagnosis, treatment plan, or clinical recommendation. The Services are not a substitute for professional medical or mental health treatment.

8.2 Exclusionary Criteria

Somenta is not designed to serve as a substitute for professional care for individuals experiencing acute or severe mental health conditions. The following conditions may indicate that Somenta is not the appropriate level of support and that professional clinical services should be sought first:

• Active suicidal ideation or recent suicide attempt
• Untreated or actively destabilizing psychosis
• Acute major depressive episodes requiring clinical intervention
• Active substance use disorders requiring detox or clinical stabilization
• Any condition for which a licensed mental health professional has advised against participation in group or experiential programs

If you are uncertain whether Somenta is appropriate for your current situation, we encourage you to discuss this with your mental health provider before joining. If at any point during your membership your circumstances change and you require a higher level of clinical care, we will support your transition to appropriate professional services.

8.3 Emergency Situations

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health emergency, please seek immediate help:

• Call 911 for immediate danger
• Call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline)
• Text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line)
• Go to your nearest emergency room

Somenta coaches and facilitators are not trained or equipped to handle psychiatric emergencies. In the event a member discloses an active crisis during a session, our team will provide referrals to professional resources but cannot provide clinical intervention.

9.1 Service Fees

Certain aspects of the Services may be provided for free, while certain other aspects require a paid subscription (“Membership”). By enrolling in a Membership, you agree to the pricing and payment terms applicable to you as made available through your Account or at joinsomenta.com. We may add new services for additional fees, amend fees for existing services, or discontinue any Membership at any time; provided, however, that if we have agreed to a specific subscription term and fee, that Membership will remain in force at that fee during that term. Any change to pricing will become effective in the billing cycle following our provision of notice of such change.

9.2 Payment Processing

Payments are processed through our third-party payment processor, currently Stripe, Inc.

We may change the price of any Membership at any time. Somenta will notify you at least 7 days before any price increase takes effect.

10.1 Session Recordings

Somenta may record select live sessions, including breathwork, meditation, yoga, and other practice sessions, for the purpose of building an on-demand resource library available to current members. These recordings capture facilitator-led instruction and practice guidance only.

10.2 Consent

By participating in the Services, you consent to being recorded during live sessions that are designated as recorded. Somenta will clearly indicate in advance when a session will be recorded. If you do not wish to be recorded, you may choose not to participate in that session, or you may turn off your camera and microphone during recorded portions.

10.3 Use and Access

Recorded sessions will be made available only to current Somenta members through the platform. Recordings will not be sold, licensed, or distributed to third parties. Somenta retains ownership of all recordings.

10.4 Confidential Sessions Are Never Recorded

Share Circles, pod sessions, and any session involving personal disclosure or group sharing are never recorded. These spaces are confidential by design. No audio or video capture of any kind is permitted by Somenta or by members in these settings.

10.5 Member Recordings Prohibited

Members may not record, screenshot, or capture any live session, pod meeting, Share Circle, or other community interaction without the express written consent of all participants and Somenta. Violation of this policy is grounds for immediate termination of membership.

This Arbitration Agreement applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and Somenta that arises out of or relates to these Terms, access to or use of the Services, any transactions through the Services, or any other aspect of your relationship with us as a member. Any Claims shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation by contacting us at hello@joinsomenta.com.

18.3 Equitable Relief

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed as preventing Somenta from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, confidential information, or intellectual property rights.
