The Archives Membership Policies
 

Membership Access

The Archives offers three levels of access: Librarian, Historian, and Archivist.
Each tier provides a different depth of study and engagement.

Membership grants access to The Archives for personal educational use only. Content may not be downloaded, redistributed, or shared outside the platform.

 

 

Librarian Tier

• Librarians receive access to TheLibrary, which features the newest Studies released each month.

• Studies available to Librarians remain accessible for 30 days before they are preserved within The Archives.

• Once a Study moves into the archive, it is no longer accessible within the Librarian tier.

• This structure allows Librarians to focus on a curated set of movements each month, encouraging consistent and intentional practice.

 

 

Historian Tier

Historians receive access to:

• TheLibrary
• Full Archives
• Full Study pages
• Variations and deeper movement exploration

* All Studies preserved within The Archives remain available to Historians for continued reference and self-guided study.

 

 

Archivist Tier

Archivists receive everything available to Historians, along with opportunities for direct engagement and guidance.

Archivist benefits may include:

• individualized movement feedback
• live study sessions or Q&A discussions
• opportunities to ask questions about technique, training, or interpretation

These offerings are designed to support deeper refinement and dialogue around the work.

​

Feedback Availability

Archivist feedback opportunities are offered at designated times such as live sessions or structured submissions.

While questions and dialogue are encouraged, Archivist membership does not guarantee unlimited one-on-one coaching outside scheduled opportunities.

 

 

Study Release Schedule

• New Studies are released regularly and first appear within TheLibrary.

• After the monthly study period, each Study is preserved within The Archives where it becomes part of the permanent collection available to Historian and Archivist members.

• The Archives grows gradually over time in order to maintain quality, clarity, and depth of study.

 

Membership Billing & Cancellation

Memberships renew automatically on a monthly basis.

Members may cancel their membership at any time.
Access will remain active through the end of the current billing cycle.

Due to the digital nature of The Archives, refunds are not provided for partial billing periods.

Educational Use

All content within The Archives is intended for personal educational use.

Members may not:

• reproduce or distribute videos or written materials
• upload content from The Archives to other platforms
• share membership access with others

Unauthorized distribution of archive material may result in termination of membership.

 

Community & Respect

The Archives is designed as a space for thoughtful movement study.

Members engaging in live discussions or feedback sessions are expected to maintain a respectful and constructive environment.
