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.

Listening to Life as it unfolds moment by moment is the essence of meditation. This is a restorative retreat based in deep embodied listening – to ourselves, the earth, one another, and the invisible realm. You will be among not only mindfulness and meditation facilitators, but all who work as changemakers with people in groups or one on one, and are ready for a deeper dive into relational and regenerative leadership.

Many of us have been conditioned to focus first much on the need of our world as the basis for our work in the world, and this can lead to depletion; but on this retreat we will explore leadership from the inside out. Regenerative leadership has to include our whole self and begins with our willingness to commit even more deeply to our personal practice, the quality of our relationship with our self and our earth bodies, and the way of presence that we bring to every day and every interaction.
