Finances.

This program offers a sliding scale based on your relative financial standing. In an effort to reflect disparity in economic condition and access to wealth, the following payment system is designed for those with more wealth to help cover the costs of those with less access to wealth and resources. We trust your discernment of your current financial situation and how you fit into the global economic context.

As you decide what amount to pay, please consider your present-day financial situation governed by income, but also the following factors: historical discrimination faced by your peoples; your access to income and financial wealth, both current and anticipated (retirement, savings, investments, expectation of an inheritance; how easily could you earn more income compared to other people in your community, country, and world); people counting on your financial livelihood including dependents and community members; the socio-economic conditions of your locale (relative to other places in your country and in the world); your relationship to food & resource scarcity.

This payment structure is inspired and informed by the justice-oriented models put forth by Worts & Cunning Apothecary, Dr. Bayo Akomolafe, and Corporeal Writing.

Solidarity Rate — $550.00 total (6 sessions)
This rate is for you if you have ample financial resources, due to personal earnings and/or access to intergenerational wealth. Paying this rate extends support to members without these privileges and acknowledges the value of building a diverse and more equitable community.

True Value Rate — $450.00 total (6 sessions)
This rate is for you if you have access to financial security and do not traditionally qualify for sliding scale fee reductions. Paying this rate recognizes the actual cost to run this program and values the time, labor, and resources of its facilitators.

Community Care Rate — $400.00 total (6 sessions)
This rate is for you if you can typically afford to meet your basic needs, but with minimal expendable income. Paying this rate acknowledges the disparity of resources afforded to folks based on the impact of oppression including racism, ableism, and classism.

Reparations Rate — $350.00 total (6 sessions)
This rate is offered in acknowledgment of the stolen indigenous land and legacies of anti-blackness that continue to harm members of our community.  We offer this rate to honor the ongoing inequity, harm, and barriers to access within professional care work spaces.
