Membership Terms

These Membership Terms apply when you join the Return to Self membership. By ticking “I agree” at checkout, you accept them, together with our Website Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and Health, Exercise & Wellbeing Disclaimer.

Return to Self is run by Julia Teresa Longin, trading as The Sacred Feminine (ABN 76 282 478 448), 27 Rosella Rd, Lal Lal, VIC. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Julia and The Sacred Feminine. “You” means the member. You must be 18 or older to join.

Your membership gives you online access to the Return to Self pillars for the level you join, including:

• the Seven Pillars and their practices
• the Pantry, with its recipes and weekly planning tools
• the 12 Return to Strength classes for your level
• the Return to Stillness meditation library
• the member community space and live sessions with Julia
• any other content we add to your level

There are three membership levels, each billed monthly in Australian dollars:

We may update, add to or improve content over time. If we remove something central to your level, we will tell you.

• Prices are in Australian dollars. We are not registered for GST, so no GST is charged.
• Your first payment is taken when you join. You are then billed every month on the same date.
• Your membership renews automatically each month until you cancel. You will see this clearly at checkout before you pay.
• Payments are processed securely by our membership platform and its payment provider. We do not see or store your full card details.
• If a payment fails, we will let you know. If it is not resolved within 7 days, your access may be paused until it is.
• Price changes: we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email before your monthly price changes. If you don’t want to continue at the new price, you can cancel before it starts.

You stay at the level you join until you choose to change it. Upgrades are never automatic.

• After four months at a level, we will invite you to upgrade to the next phase. You are welcome to stay where you are for as long as you like.
• If you choose to upgrade, the new monthly price starts from your next monthly billing date. Your billing date stays the same, and no credit is given for the current month.
• You can move down a level at any time. The lower price applies from your next monthly payment.

You can cancel at any time, in your account settings or by emailing hello@julialongin.com. There are no lock-in contracts and no cancellation fees.

• Cancellation takes effect immediately. Your access to member content ends when you cancel, and no further payments are taken.
• Because access ends straight away, no refund is given for the rest of that month.

30-day welcome refund. If you are unhappy for any reason within 30 days of first joining, email us and we will refund your first payment in full. This applies once, to your first membership, and not to upgrades or re-joining.

Your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms limits those rights, including your right to a remedy if something we provide has a major failure.

Return to Self is general wellbeing and education content. It is not medical, psychological, physiotherapy, dietary or other individual professional advice. By joining, you confirm that:

1. You have read our Health, Exercise & Wellbeing Disclaimer.
2. You are responsible for checking with your own doctor or qualified health practitioner before starting any exercise, nutrition or wellbeing practice, especially if you are pregnant, injured, recovering from illness, or have a health condition.
3. You will move at your own pace, choose the easier options when you need to, and stop if you feel pain, dizziness or any other concerning symptom.
4. You will check ingredient labels and allergens yourself when using Pantry recipes.

If you are in crisis or need urgent help, please contact emergency services on 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14. The community space is not a crisis service.

One person, one login. Your membership is for you alone. Please don’t share your login or let anyone else use your account.

Everything stays ours. All Return to Self content, including the classes, meditations, recipes, scripts, images, written practices and the Seven Pillars framework, is owned by Julia Teresa Longin. You may use it for your own personal, non-commercial use only. You may not copy, download (except where we offer a download), record, share, resell, publish or teach it without our written permission.

If these rules are broken, for example by sharing a login or copying content, we may remove your access immediately. No refund is given when access is removed for a breach, except where the law requires one.

The community is a place to support each other on the journey. Julia uses it to share updates, host live sessions and support members. In the community, please:

• be kind, courteous and respectful to every member
• offer support and encouragement only: please don’t give advice (medical, health, exercise, diet or otherwise) and don’t criticise other members’ choices
• keep what others share private, and don’t share screenshots or personal details outside the community
• no selling, promoting or recruiting

We may remove posts, and suspend or end a membership, for abusive, disrespectful or inappropriate behaviour, or for breaking these guidelines.

Live sessions are general group sessions, not individual advice. Live sessions are recorded and shared with members who can’t attend. If you appear on camera or comment during a live session, you agree to being included in the recording.

Ending a membership. We may suspend or end your membership if you break these terms, behave abusively or inappropriately, or put other members at risk. If we ever close the membership entirely, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice and stop billing you.

Changes to these terms. We may update these terms from time to time. We will email you about any important change at least 30 days before it applies. If you don’t agree, you can cancel before then.

Privacy. We handle your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy. Privacy questions: privacy@julialongin.com.

Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia.
