This series is meant to be interesting, engaging and most of all fun. There is no pass or fail. Our meetings will be to support each other as we cultivate our mindfulness practice. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions, comments or require more information.

Cost:

We believe strongly in making this class available to anyone who believes that mindfulness might be helpful in their life and is willing to commit themselves to do the work. Therefore, we offer this class on an honor-based "pay as you are able" system with suggested rates. The generosity of everyone paying as much as you are able towards your suggested rate directly supports our ability to offer the class to everyone regardless of finances.
Our suggested rates are:

High Income $350
Medium Income $200
Low Income $50

If any of these levels are difficult for you, please consider the class anyway. No one is ever turned away for financial reasons. We ask that you decide what amount you can pay. This amount is a commitment and investment in your own process, and this amount helps support the financial health of the class and our ability to offer this kind of adjustable sliding scale. As such, the amount that makes the class possible for you works for us.
If you can pay more than the suggested rate, we appreciate this much and it helps us continue to offer the class in this way.
For more information on the sliding scale and/or a payment plan option, please click here.
The $10 registration fee is to hold a spot for the class and not for the free information session on June 11th.

This $10 may be applied to your class cost if you choose. If the $10 fee is an obstacle for you, please email us directly.

Please note:

The free information session is at the same time and place as the class. It is highly suggested to come for additional information, meet the teacher, and see if the class is a fit, before the Intro To Mindfulness class starts.
