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

This is an introduction to creating and incorporating an effective and ongoing insight meditation practice in all aspects of your life. This 4-week class is appropriate for people new to meditation as well as experienced meditators who want to refresh the fundamentals of their practice.  

This class is especially helpful for people who have had difficulty meditating or feel as if they aren’t ‘doing it right’. Good news! We are here to help by offering simple, practical tools for meditating that you can do on your own.

In this class you will learn to reduce your stress and gain more peace of mind by:

1. Developing a healthier relationship with your thoughts.
2. Developing more balance with your emotions.
3. Being more in touch with your body and mind.

This class will be a supportive environment to explore the practice of meditation. The teacher will tailor the instructions to meet your specific needs. In a step-by-step process you will learn the nuts and bolts of insight meditation and basic mindfulness practice.

There are four weekly classes that meet Saturdays 10-11:15am starting May 23rd through June 13th.
