Energy Tools for Every Day Living with John Lavack

Participation Agreement, Release, and Waiver of Liability

Thank you for enrolling in Energy Tools for Every Day Living (the “Workshop”), a six-week virtual program taught by John Lavack and offered through Bengston Workshops. This Agreement, Release, and Waiver of Liability (“Agreement”) is entered into between you and L & B Consulting, Inc., operating as Bengston Workshops (“L & B Consulting,” “Bengston Workshops,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). It governs your participation in the Workshop in its entirety, including all six sessions, any supplemental materials, recordings, and any direct or indirect application of Workshop content. Please read this Agreement carefully and completely before signing.

 

1. Nature of the Workshop and Instructor Background 

Energy Tools for Every Day Living is an educational program in personal energy management, intuitive practice, and consciousness-based approaches to wellbeing. The Workshop is offered through Bengston Workshops, operated by L & B Consulting, Inc., and is taught by John Lavack as an independent instructor.

 

John Lavack is an energy practitioner with over 30 years of experience. He is not a medical doctor, licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other licensed health care professional. His participation in healing research — including studies at MD Anderson Cancer Center — and his recognition in public media, including The Telepathy Tapes podcast (Season 2, Episode 9), are not credentials in any licensed health care field and do not constitute medical or psychological authority of any kind.

 

The techniques, tools, concepts, and practices presented in this Workshop — including but not limited to grounding, energy boundary-setting, chakra awareness, emotional processing, visualization, image cycling, and self-image work — are energy-based and consciousness-based approaches considered alternative or complementary to conventional Western medicine. Many of these approaches have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the American Medical Association, or equivalent bodies, and their efficacy for the treatment of any specific condition has not been established to the standards of Western clinical research.

 

2. Not Medical or Psychological Treatment 

Nothing presented in this Workshop is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, illness, or mental health condition. Your participation in this Workshop is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment of any kind. You are strongly advised to:

 

(a)  continue any medical, psychiatric, psychological, or therapeutic treatment you are currently receiving;

(b)  consult with your licensed health care provider before making any changes to your current treatment plan, medication, or health practices; and

(c)  seek professional medical or mental health assistance immediately if you experience any acute physical symptoms, psychological distress, or health crisis during or following your participation in this Workshop.

 

Nothing communicated by John Lavack, L & B Consulting, Inc., Bengston Workshops, or any associated instructor, facilitator, or participant during or in connection with this Workshop should be interpreted as medical advice, psychological counseling, or a recommendation to alter any aspect of your health care.

 

3. Assumption of Risk — Healing and Non-Healing Outcomes 

Energy-based work is experiential and deeply personal. Individual responses, outcomes, and experiences vary widely and cannot be predicted. You understand and expressly acknowledge the following:

 

(a)  Healing outcomes are not guaranteed. L & B Consulting, Inc., Bengston Workshops, and John Lavack make no representation, warranty, promise, or guarantee that participation in this Workshop will result in any physical, emotional, psychological, or spiritual healing, improvement, or change of any kind.

 

(b)  Non-healing outcomes carry no liability. If you do not experience the results you hoped for — whether healing, personal growth, emotional relief, manifestation of desired outcomes, or any other result — you agree that L & B Consulting, Inc., Bengston Workshops, John Lavack, and all associated parties bear no responsibility or liability for that outcome.

 

(c)  Adverse reactions are possible. Some participants may experience emotional release, temporary discomfort, heightened sensitivity, or unexpected reactions during or after energy work. You assume full responsibility for any such reactions and agree to seek appropriate professional support if needed.

 

(d)  Application to others is your responsibility. If you choose to apply anything learned in this Workshop to other people, animals, or situations, you do so entirely at your own risk and assume full responsibility for any and all outcomes.

 

You knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly assume all risks associated with your participation in this Workshop and with any application — present or future — of the knowledge, techniques, and tools you may acquire.

 

4. No Professional Relationship 

Participation in this Workshop does not create a practitioner-client, therapist-client, coach-client, physician-patient, or any other professional or fiduciary relationship between you and John Lavack, L & B Consulting, Inc., Bengston Workshops, or any associated party. Everything shared during the Workshop represents educational perspectives and personal experience, not professional advice of any kind.

 

5. No Certification or Authorization to Teach 

Completion of this Workshop does not certify, license, or authorize you to teach, train, or charge others for instruction in any of the techniques, methods, or content presented. You are not permitted to represent yourself as certified, trained, or authorized by John Lavack, L & B Consulting, Inc., or Bengston Workshops without express written permission.

 

6. Confidentiality and Group Setting 

This Workshop includes live virtual group sessions in which participants may voluntarily share personal experiences, insights, and information. You acknowledge that absolute confidentiality in a group setting cannot be ensured by L & B Consulting, Inc., Bengston Workshops, or John Lavack. By participating, you waive any expectation of privacy with respect to information you voluntarily share in group sessions. You agree to treat all personal disclosures made by other participants with care and respect, and not to share, publish, record, or distribute any such information without the express consent of the individual(s) involved.
