Instruction

A 10% discount on all private or group instruction is automatically provided to all Writer's Order^SM members in good standing.  Discounts are not cumulative.  In other words, you may not save discounts and add them up.  As long as you maintain current paid status as a member and continue to work at your attained certified stage (active certification status), you retain a 10% discount on all instruction.

Lapsed members (members who have not paid their dues) or nonmembers are not eligible for member discounts, but may be eligible for other discounts offered from time to time, as announced in advertisements or on the web site.   Discounts may be reacquired by reinstatement.  (See below for certification, loss of certification, lapse of membership and reinstatement.)

Fees paid to Van Bergen (or any other certified Arkhelogy instructor) for private or group instruction do not count towards membership dues.  Fees for certification of stages of membership are also separate from instructional fees.  While private or group instruction by Jennifer Van Bergen or another certified instructor is not required for membership, it is highly unlikely for any individual to be admitted to a stage above the Second Stage without such instruction, in part because integration of the component skills or development of work at the archetypal level are nearly impossible to achieve or to assess outside of this instructional environment.
