What does sliding scale mean?

Everyone has a different capacity to pay the tuition.  We are committed to not letting your finances dictate whether you can participate or not.  We trust in your integrity around what you pay, hoping that those who can pay full price (or more) will balance out those who can’t.  We do request that everyone make an investment in themselves, even if just $100.   The hard cost for cleaning, food and chef is $350.  Please talk to us and we’ll figure it out together

The days are full, with breaks and meals. We typically begin each day with some kind of mild physical exercises. Each day is different, but might include group discussion, small group and paired sharing, journaling, family constellation work, somatic work, time outside (based on weather) and some 1:1 interactions. The work is very experiential, rather than relying on formal ‘teaching’.

We can address on a case-by-case basis unless you have a service dog, who is welcome.

We have a few private sleeping spots which we can use to accommodate special needs, but there are also a couple of inexpensive motels in town just a five-minute drive away for people who are more comfortable with that arrangement.
