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.

 “How might your life have been different if there had been a place for you? A place for you to go…a place of women, to help you learn the ways of woman…a place where you were nurtured from an ancient flow sustaining you and steadying you as you sought to become yourself. A place of women to help you find and trust the ancient flow already there within yourself…waiting to be released…  How might your life be different?” Judith Duerck

Wildwomen is a monthly circle for sharing, connection and awakening wild womanhood.  Founded and led by Maria Egan and Lulu Toselli and inspired by ‘Women Who Run with the Wolves’ , the classic text on the fierce feminine by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.  We will explore aspects of the ‘wild woman’ including creativity, intuition, passion, and the spiritual elements of female power. We are a non profit, inclusive and safe space for all female identified humans. 

This circle will feature InsightLA Meditation founding teacher Trudy Goodman, PhD:

Trudy Goodman Kornfield, PhD, is the Founding Teacher of InsightLA, the first center to combine training in Insight (Vipassana) Meditation and in non-sectarian mindfulness and compassion practices, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). The fourth teacher ever of MBSR, Trudy taught with its creator, Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn and studied Buddhist meditation for 40 years, with Asian and Western teachers. She is the Guiding Teacher and co-founder of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the first center in the world dedicated to integrating these two disciplines, and had a private psychotherapy practice there for 25 years.

Trudy co-founded Family Path and Growing Spirit, family mindfulness programs, with Susan Kaiser Greenland in Los Angeles, and has worked with kids and families throughout her career.

Trudy teaches retreats and workshops worldwide; often teaching with her husband, Jack Kornfield.
