Terms & Conditions

Who we are and what we do 

www.light-en.org is a site operated by LightEn Education Network, trading as ‘LightEn’ (‘We’). We are a charity and a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England and Wales with charity number 1198876 and company number CE028978 and we have our registered office at 7 Clifford Street, London, W1S 2FT. 

Our charitable objects are for the public benefit: (a) the advancement of education and the promotion of the moral or spiritual welfare or improvement of the community, in particular but not exclusively through the establishment and funding of educational centres and workshops with a focus on spiritual and moral wellbeing; and (b) the promotion of such other purposes being exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales as the charity trustees may from time to time determine. 

Our work is focused on signposting pathways that have the potential to raise consciousness and help humanity embody the highest levels of love and wisdom we all hold at our core. We believe there are many pathways to the soul and our aim is to provide signposts to light some that stand out as truly excellent. We do so because we believe that soul connection and embodiment have the power to inspire and enable us to live the best version of ourselves, and in so doing step into true service to Self, others, and the planet.
