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 class introduces a range of mindfulness concepts and practices relevant to living in a dynamic world.  This course includes practices that involve stillness, movement, and listening/ speaking. Centering teaching strategies where there are multiple ways for participants to thrive, the intention is to impart practices that nourish us as we navigate a complicated world.

Utilizing best practices to facilitate online community-building, each class combines lecture, practice, and group discussion. This 6-week course is accessible and meaningful for beginners as well as experienced meditators who want to refresh the fundamentals of their practice. Mindful movement exercises are suitable for all abilities and bodies and include Qi Gong and gentle yoga. This course is relevant for people of all backgrounds and religions.
