The practice of ensuring a balanced exchange of energy is one that I cherish and enjoy playing within. Equitable access is also important to me and the value of money is relative to one’s life circumstances.
To this end, I practice a ‘sliding scale’ model that is based on trust, inclusivity, and reciprocity. This model invites you to take inventory of your personal resources. I trust you to interact with this offering in a way that is appropriate for you. I’ve set the scale based on what feels fair for me so that you can do the same.
All of my classes, programs and offerings are the result of thousands of hours of study and experience gathered during my 10+ years of spiritual study, 20+ years in business. Each course has taken hours to create.
As you are deciding what you can afford to invest in this support system here are some things to take into consideration.
Consider Paying Less If You:
- are supporting children or have other dependents in a single-income household
- receive public assistance
- have immigration-related expenses
- are an elder with limited financial support
- are an unpaid community organizer
- have been denied work due to incarceration history
Consider Paying More If You:
- own the home you live in
- have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
- travel recreationally
- have access to family money and resources in times of need
- have a relatively high degree of earning power (due to level of education, gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.)
Please be mindful that if you select a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford more, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility. You are also undervaluing my work. Sliding scale practices support the professional work of creators who, like me, have invested significantly in their careers. It also allows me to channel more to free and low cost offerings.
Much gratitude to Alexis Cunningfolk for her permission to borrow her words.
