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.

Refund and Event Policies

Do you ever feel burned-out or exhausted in your area of performance?

This short mindfulness course is designed to inspire participants to enhance performance in any area of their life through the practice of mindfulness. During these six weeks, participants have the opportunity to examine their goals, and familiarize themselves with their limiting beliefs. This results in enhanced performance as well as a deeper understanding of themselves.

Each session meets once a week for 90 minutes of practice and theme exploration. Audios and “home practice” is provided to support participants during the program.

The course is based on mPEAK (Mindfulness, Performance Enhancement, Awareness and Knowledge) which is an 8-week mindfulness curriculum created by the UCSD. 

This course is for all levels of practice. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Revising the paradox of mindfulness and goals.
  • Exploring performance anxiety.
  • Developing interoceptive awareness. 
  • Identifying limiting stories vs. self-enhancing stories.
  • Working with a critical mind and perfectionism. 
  • Integrating mindfulness practice into daily performance.

Student Testimonials:

“I love Alex! I honestly think this was godsend to me in a time I needed it a lot.”
 
“I really enjoyed Alex’s teaching. She was very present, down to earth, answered questions, and overall just displayed her humanness in such a lovely way. Would highly recommend her and I would definitely recommend this class. I just found it so useful to have a community and a structure to help me deepen into my practice, but also as a place to remember compassion and that this work doesn’t have to look any particular way.”
