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

“When we understand the truth of uncertainty and relax, we become free.”  The Wise Heart, Jack Kornfield

In mindfulness we are invited to wisely practice staying present, embracing uncertainty, finding joy in the moment, not judging, and being generous.  These are the exact same “rules” of improv.  Only this workshop, has nothing to do with being funny or performance. It has everything to do with staying present, finding joy in the moment etc. 

Over the last few months we had to dig deep as we found the desire to practice our mindfulness and acceptance of all that’s uncertain. We had glimpses of freedom.

In the application of improvisation,  we can’t hide from uncertainty while unfettered thinking rules –  we actually have fun just hanging in the moment, connecting with others and becoming free. And, when you leave lighter, happier, feeling more creative, with a lot less stress around the uncertainty, you’ll find yourself more willing to apply these mutual principles  in more and more of your life. And, at the very least, we need a break!  Please join us. 

Important: Because this class is highly interactive, please join via computer, laptop, or tablet. No phone video or audio only, please. Also, if able, please arrive 5 minutes early for “room” set-up.

Pricing: Any amount above the base cost becomes a tax deductible donation that helps to subsidize the cost for fellow practitioners who might not otherwise be able to afford to attend.
