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

NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances. These classes have been canceled until 2021. 

We are in a time of a tremendous amount of change, loss and uncertainty. This may bring up overwhelm and anxiety and a sense of lostness. Underneath this array of feelings is often a very deep sadness and our personal grief gets intertwined with and intensified by communal grief. Throughout time, people have come together to honor and integrate grief as a way to stay connected and engaged. Experiencing our grief opens us to our love and gratitude and can deepen us if we allow it. As we connect with our deep sadness, we can slowly find traces of a path that leads us forward.

In this 3 hour on-line retreat we will tend our individual and collective grief and offer personal and community practices that can help us to find freedom in our suffering. This approach, based on mindfulness, self-compassion, community and nature connection, will help us find a way of being with our pain. As we experience more compassion, a greater sense of meaning, and deep, heart-felt connection will emerge.
