Please read thoroughly before utilizing a sliding scale option.
The practice of ensuring a balanced exchange of energy is one that I cherish and enjoy playing within.
We all navigate systems that do not create a naturally equitable field. It is important to me to offer dignity and equitable accessibility within my work.
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 and self select your investment option. I often find that the process of reflection and taking inventory offers a powerful beginning to our journey together.
All of my offerings are the result of my own investment in thousands of hours of study and experience gathered during my 10+ years of spiritual study, 20+ years in business.
For every hour of live group instruction I have likely invested 1-2 hours in preparation. This does not account for time spent creating exercises, maintaining the systems required to deliver the offering, paying my team for their support, etc.
Each of my offerings has a financial investment defined. This is the exchange that feels most aligned for me as I consider everything I have poured into the creation of that offering and the value that I know it can offer to you should you fully participate.
Again, my mission is to ensure a balanced exchange of energy. I realize that the value of money is relative to one’s life circumstances.
You are invited to self-select the level of investment that is appropriate for your life circumstances. It is important to distinguish that this is not an exercise in assessing how valuable you think my offering is, rather an exercise in assessing your own resources and what you can honestly invest.
I trust you to choose to join my space at a price that is appropriate for your circumstances. I’ve set the scale based on what feels fair for me so that you can do the same. If the bullets describing your life circumstances reflect a number you are not willing to pay, then please gracefully opt out of participation rather than selecting another option as this would, in-effect, be offering yourself a discount on my work.
Please read each section and carefully consider your own economic situation.
Consider sticking with the the full Requested Investment if you*:
- are able to comfortably meet your basic needs
- own the home you live in or rent a higher-end property
- own or lease a car
- are self employed, employed, or do not need to work to meet your needs
- have regular access to health care
- have access to financial savings
- travel recreationally or can easily afford to take time off
- can always buy new items
- have expendable income (ie don’t think twice about a coffee/tea, eating out etc)
- have access to family money and resources in times of need
- *if you’d like to offer more than requested to support this philosophy, you can do that here or select the Prosper option if provided.
Consider selecting the middle option for an Adjusted Investment if you:
- sometimes stress about meeting your basic needs, yet still typically achieve them
- have stable housing
- own or lease a car
- are employed
- have access to health care
- may have some financial savings
- have a bit of expendable income
- are able to buy some new things, but need to thrift others
- take a vacation every few years
Consider selecting the lowest option for a Scholarshiped Investment if you:
- frequently stress about meeting your basic needs, and don’t always achieve them
- rent a lower-end property or have unstable housing
- do not have a car, or have one but can’t reliably afford fuel
- are unemployed or underemployed
- qualify for assistance for food stamps and health care
- have no financial savings
- have no or very limited expendable income
- are rarely able to buy new things
- cannot afford a vacation or to take time off
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.
Should your circumstances change you can always reach out to me or my team to adjust your investment level up or down to reflect your current reality.
