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

In this 2 class series, we’ll investigate our relationship with our emotions. Emotions are a part of the full range of our experience. It’s not about trying to get rid of emotion or trying to fix it. It’s not about repressing emotions nor expressing emotions. It’s about changing our relationship to our emotional experience.

This workshop will include instruction from the teacher, various mindfulness practices related to mindfulness of emotions, group discussion & processing.
