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.

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.

Refund and Event Policies

Join us for an evening of teaching and practice with Tara Brach celebrating her new book Radical Compassion: Learning to Love Yourself and Your World with the Practice of RAIN

In addition to toxic self-blame, we humans have an evolutionary-driven tendency to create “bad others,” and to cause each other harm. Our species is also on a trajectory towards greater compassion and collaboration; a pathway we can actively facilitate through deliberate practice. This evening talk explores how the practice of RAIN—a weave of mindfulness and compassion–can undo our primitive fear-based reactivity, reveal our mutual belonging, and awaken our hearts.
