1. About The Listening Space

The Listening Space (“TLS”, “we”, “us”, “our”) offers sound meditation sessions, immersive listening experiences, breathwork sessions, workshops, retreats, private sessions, collaborative events and related experiences in Amsterdam and other locations.

By purchasing a ticket, participating in a session, visiting our website, or engaging with our services, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

These Terms may be updated from time to time. The latest version will always be available on our website.

2. Nature of Our Sessions

The Listening Space offers experiences focused on sound, deep listening, meditation, breathwork, relaxation, awareness and personal exploration.

Our sessions are intended to support presence, self-inquiry, nervous system regulation, creativity, relaxation and connection.

TLS sessions are not medical treatment, psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or a substitute for professional healthcare.

We do not diagnose, treat or cure medical or psychological conditions, and no guarantees can be made regarding personal outcomes or experiences.

Participants remain fully responsible for their own wellbeing, choices and integration before, during and after participation.

3. Participation & Personal Responsibility

By participating in a TLS session, you confirm that:

• you participate voluntarily and at your own responsibility;

• you are physically and mentally capable of participating;

• you will inform TLS of any relevant medical, psychological or physical conditions that may affect participation;

• you understand that breathwork, meditation, sound and deep relaxation practices may evoke emotional, physical or psychological responses.

If you are unsure whether participation is suitable for you, we strongly advise consulting a qualified medical professional beforehand.

Participants are responsible for making informed decisions regarding their participation.

5. Optional Truffle Microdosing & Expanded-State Experiences

Personal data submitted through bookings, forms or communication channels will be processed in accordance with applicable privacy laws and our Privacy Policy.

11. Photography & Media

TLS may occasionally capture photos or short video content for atmosphere impressions, marketing or documentation purposes.

We aim to do this respectfully and sensitively, especially during intimate group experiences.

Participants may inform us in advance if they do not wish to appear in photos or videos.

12. Retreats, Collaborations & Third-Party Events

The Listening Space and its facilitators may occasionally contribute sound meditations, workshops, ceremonies, retreats or other experiences hosted or organised by third parties.

In such cases, certain practical aspects of the event — including venue operations, accommodation, catering, transportation, scheduling, safety procedures or additional facilitation — may fall under the responsibility of the hosting organisation or retreat provider.

While TLS aims to contribute professionally and responsibly within these collaborations, participants acknowledge that TLS cannot be held responsible for elements outside its direct control.

Participants remain responsible for their own wellbeing, choices and participation throughout such events and are expected to follow both TLS guidelines and any additional guidelines or agreements communicated by the hosting organisation.

TLS reserves the right to refuse or discontinue participation of individuals where safety, wellbeing, group dynamics or professional boundaries require this.

Additional agreements, waivers or intake procedures may apply for certain retreats, private journeys or immersive experiences.

13. Force Majeure

TLS is not liable for delays, cancellations or changes caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including illness, extreme weather, venue issues, government measures, technical failures or force majeure situations.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by Dutch law.
