About our Sliding Scale

We all come from different backgrounds and experiences of personal, collective and systemic privilege and oppression. We believe that everyone should have access to community healing.

Our way of standing by this while at the same time offering our work in a sustainable way is through this sliding scale and donation based offerings, which apply to both our individual and group offerings. This sliding scale has been adapted from the School of Lost Borders Sliding Scale.

Each of our events and services have standard fees which you can find when signing up. If you’d like to request a sliding scale fee for any event please read these guidelines and send us a note so we can sign you up at that fee.

Using the Sliding Scale

Consider the standard fee if you:

• have the ability to comfortably meet all of your basic needs

• belong to a sponsoring organization or are employed full-time

• have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money

• travel recreationally

• have access to family money and resources in times of need

• work part-time by choice

• own the home you live in

• have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education (or gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.)

Consider requesting a sliding scale fee if you:

• have difficulty covering basic expenses

• are supporting children or have other dependents

• have significant debt

• have medical expenses not covered by insurance

• are an elder with limited financial support

• are an unpaid community organizer

• have unstable housing and/or limited access to reliable transportation

• have not taken a vacation or time off due to the financial burden

Now take a moment, close your eyes and ask your heart to come up with a number that feels good to you. Then simply send us a note with this number.

Using this sliding scale helps us keep our offerings affordable to others. Thank you for your support.

Donation Based Offerings for Groups and Workshops:

We realize that even our sliding scale might be out of range for you at any given time. We are also happy to receive donations and have spots in many of our group offerings for this. Please send us a note with any questions to: journeys@greenmagicyoga.com
