PAY WHAT YOU CAN or PAY IT FORWARD:
Offering affordable training is at the heart of our charitable objectives. Though classes with our practitioners usually cost upwards of £30, we offer places at a pay-what-you-can rate. For some, this might mean paying 1p. For others, paying more means you’re covering our facilitators fee and staffing costs, making it possible for us to host future PWYC workshops seasons. We give a suggested figure of £15 for those who can.
Attendees must be 18+
