🔗 Online Zoom Link
During the term, the same Zoom link will be used for all modules. Students should use this link to access all live classes and are advised to log in at least five minutes before the session begins to ensure they are settled and ready to start on time. Please note that this Zoom link is for your personal use only and must not be shared with anyone else.
To ensure a focused and respectful learning environment, students are kindly asked to keep their microphones muted at all times unless they are speaking. Participation is encouraged during live sessions, and students may ask questions either by using the chat feature or by unmuting their microphone when appropriate, according to their preference. This helps minimise background noise and ensures that all participants can benefit fully from the lesson.

🎥 Module Recordings
Recordings are provided to allow students to review lessons and for those who cannot attend live sessions. However, live attendance is compulsory for all students, and maintaining high attendance is strongly encouraged. Falling below 80% attendance—whether in person or online—may result in removal from the course.
Each lesson is recorded and uploaded to the course page. Recordings are usually available by end of day Monday, giving students time to review the lesson before the next class.

💰 Cost
The Sacred Study course is priced at £399 per year. However, for those who are members of the Fountain Institute, the course is completely free. Your membership donation (£20 a month) supports the Fountain Institute, funding our programs and helping students in need by covering their course fees and also allows you to attend other events for free.
⚠️ Important Membership Note:
If you are enrolled in Sacred Study, your membership must run for a minimum of 12 months. Membership cannot be canceled if you decide to leave the course early.
