ALT-U Ministry Laws

The ministry, website, knowledge, teachings, gatherings, and experiences offered here are hosted by the Facilitating Founders of ALT-University Ministries (Adrienne L. Thomas, Michelle K. Benewiat, Gloria Thomas) and provided in sacred covenant with the Spiritual Stewards - including but not limited to the Ministry's - Elder Council, Lineage Keepers, Ministry Mentors & Creative Contributors of ALT-Universal Ministries Private Membership Association (PMA), on an "as is" basis, in the private domain. These laws apply to all members and to any womb-in-kind, woman, women ("wombin") or man who participates in the ministry through any channel — online or in person. By registering as a member and agreeing to the Membership Agreement, every member affirms they have read, understand, and agree to all the laws below.

Our Code of Law

1. Member-to-member relating — We, as woman (wombin) speak to one another always as woman (wombin) or man only. We do not relate as agents, representatives, customers, or consumers of one another. Our relating is in the private, soul to soul.

2. Property and intellectual integrity — The teachings, practices, recordings, writings, downloads, art, and other knowledge ("property") offered through this ministry are the property of the woman (wombin) or man who did create them. Members and all who use the property do so as a woman (wombin) or man only, and take full responsibility for their use. No part may be shared, copied, reproduced, recorded, or sold without the written consent of the woman (wombin) or man who created it. When a woman (wombin) or man chooses to offer, share, or gift their property within the ministry, they thereby grant the ministry and its members a limited, non-exclusive right to receive and use that property within the private domain, for the purpose for which it was offered. Ownership always remains with the woman (wombin) or man who created it, and any use of the property outside the ministry — or beyond the purpose for which it was offered — still requires their written consent.

3. Donations and compensation — Members who choose to donate, pay, or offer compensation for any teaching, gathering, program, coaching, or other offering do so as a woman (wombin) or man in the private, directly to the ministry and its members — whether to the Ministry Founders, the PMA Founders, the woman (wombin) or man who provides the offering, or any woman (wombin) or man acting on the ministry’s behalf. All such donations are given in support of the ministry and its members within the private domain, and are not exchanges of public commerce.

4. Member-to-member exchange and mutual support — Members may freely give, donate, gift, exchange, or offer service to one another in the spirit of mutual aid and sacred reciprocity, within the private domain. Such exchanges between members are not exchanges of public commerce; they are private acts of love, support, and trust between woman (wombin) or man, soul to soul.

The Ministry does not facilitate, mediate, regulate, or take responsibility for member-to-member exchanges. Disputes arising from such exchanges shall be resolved directly between the members involved, in the private, with the spirit of remedy described in Law 5.

Members are encouraged to extend grace, generosity, and reciprocity to one another as the work of becoming whole calls for.

5. Behavior and remedy — Members agree to treat every other woman (wombin) or man with kindness and respect. If a member is abusive, aggressive, irresponsible, menacing, destructive, or harassing — they shall first be offered the opportunity to make remedy. If no remedy is made, the offending member’s membership shall be cancelled, and they shall lose access to all teachings, gatherings, and property whether or not they have paid or donated to access them.

6. Privacy of information — Any information a member provides is in the private domain. It will be held with reverence and confidentiality and not be shared, sold, traded, or rented to any third party, except as required to operate the ministry through trusted service providers, or as required by law.

7. Right of access and deletion — Any member may, at any time, request a copy of their information, or request that their information be deleted. Honored within the limits of operational and legal record-keeping obligations.

8. Responsibility for participation — Any woman (wombin) or man who attends an event, gathering, ceremony, or session accepts full responsibility for their own state, choices, and outcomes. They agree not to hold the Founders, Stewards, Mentors, or any other woman (wombin) or man acting on behalf of the ministry liable for any consequences.

9. Recording consent — By participating in any online or in-person event, members agree that their voice and/or image may be used and shared by the ministry if they choose to speak or appear on screen. Members who do not wish to be recorded must abstain from speaking or appearing on screen.

10. Healing, not medicine — The ministry’s offerings are spiritual, educational, and devoted to becoming whole. The ministry does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical/psychological condition. Members are responsible for their own decisions and for seeking licensed medical/psychological/therapeutic care from professionals when needed.

11. Cookies and digital tracking — The website may use cookies to keep members signed in, remember preferences, and gather aggregate analytics. Members may disable through browser settings.

12. Modification of laws — The Ministry Founders may modify these laws with notice provided through ministry communication channels. Continued participation following such notice constitutes acceptance.

13. Application of laws — These laws apply to all ministry activities, online and offline, including websites, member portals, programs, coaching, retreats, gatherings, ceremonies, and any other space.

14. Confidentiality of the private domain — All that is shared within the ministry — its teachings, gatherings, communications, and the identity, presence, and sharings of every woman (wombin) or man — is private and confidential. It shall not be recorded, reproduced, published, disclosed, or shared outside the private domain of the ministry without the express consent of the ministry and of any woman (wombin) or man concerned. This confidentiality is mutual among all who enter, and continues even after a membership ends.

Notice to Government Officials and Agents

Any woman (wombin) or man who accesses this website or any property of the ministry, or who attends any event, gathering, ceremony, or session of the ministry, does so in their own right and private capacity as a woman (wombin) or man only — and NOT as an agent or representative for any governmental or non-governmental agency or organization whose purpose is to enforce a legal code, act, or statute where no woman (wombin) or man has been harmed, or to carry out any mission of entrapment or investigation against the ministry, its Founders, or any of its members.

Any such access, attendance, or participation by an agent or representative acting in their official capacity shall constitute trespass by way of barratry against the ministry and the woman (wombin) or man who host it. Such trespass shall make the trespasser immediately liable to pay compensation to the ministry, in the amount of $100,000 USD plus $10/minute for the duration the trespass continues.

Any claim of wrong, harm, or trespass under this notice shall be governed by law and may be pressed in a court of law by and between those of woman (wombin) and man only.
