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.

Safety 

We work to protect the safety of all students. We reserve the right to remove any student from any class, sitting group, retreat, or any event if the student is disruptive to the safe learning environment we maintain for all.

Cancellation & Refunds

We reserve the right to cancel a class or special event due to low enrollment or other circumstances which would make the event non-viable. If InsightLA cancels an event you’ve registered for, you will be offered a full refund. If an event has to be postponed for any reason, you will have the option to either receive a full refund or transfer your registration to the same event at the new, future date. If you cancel, we apply a 5% credit processing fee and the refunded amounts are listed below:

Refund and Event Policies

“I write in a solitude born out of community…Can you be inside and outside at the same time? I think this is where I live…Inside to write. Outside to glean.” ― Terry Tempest Williams

Please join us for a special relaxing, restorative writing retreat in a natural and serene setting at our beautiful Benedict Canyon retreat house. Connecting with nature can help us connect with our intentions and authentic voices. I will be offering unique talks, meditations, writing exercises, and optional sharing/discussion. But this will be your day of refuge and resilience– to luxuriate in at your own pace.

You can write about anything you’d like, be it personal journaling, creative or professional writing.

Please bring your preferred writing pad or device, a bag lunch, water bottle, walking shoes if you’d like to go on a hike and layers of clothing for changes in temperature.

“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” ― John Muir
