Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and  people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible). 

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

Refund and Event Policies

All the thoughts and emotions that arise within us can be met with acceptance and understanding.  We can learn to welcome our thoughts and feelings, whether pleasant or uncomfortable and learn to transform our responses. In each interactive group, we will meditate, share our discoveries, and practice the skill of mindful listening and speaking. We will learn practices that will lead us to ease of well-being, self-care, acceptance and understanding in our daily lives. Examples of prompts/activities:
 
What Happens after you get off the Cushion?
Cultivating Moment-to Moment Loving Awareness
Taking in the Good
Coming Back to Yourself
Listening to the Voice of your Heart
Real but not True
You are not Alone
Keeping it Simple
Learning how to Learn from Our Experience
Working with Difficult Mindstates
The Sense Doors as a Gateway to Practice
What Uplifts the Heart?
 
Let’s sit together and share a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Join us every Friday from 1-2:15pm. 
 
Note: There is no class on July 16th.
