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.

Calling all meditators with pets! Join us for a mid-day meditation bringing our furry, fluffy, feathery, and all other types of beloved family members into our practice. For many of us who are house-bound or unable to connect with people right now, our pets are our primary companionship and a deep source of love. Many of us aspire to love ourselves and others the way we love and feel loved by our pets. This sit is a way to honor the sacredness of the bond between human and animal, and the ways these relationships deepen our practice.  

We’ll have time to introduce ourselves, our pets, and a chance to share something about your pet’s strange habits, what you love about them, or one of their funny moments. 

This class is open and inclusive to all types of pets. No pets will be turned away due to their species. 

All are welcome to practice even if you don’t have a pet to practice with! 

Join us every 4th Friday of the month from 2:30-3:15pm.
