to me, offering sliding scale pricing is:

• a tool that allows this offering to engaged with across of range of price points

• an imperfect way to increase accessibility

• a recognition that toxic dominant systems [like racialized late-stage capitalism, ableism, transphobia to name a few] impact class.

• an investment in more trust, more community, and a more holistic economy.

here’s a great article from Worts + Cunning Apothecary explaining the ins and outs of sliding scale pricing.

Community Supporter Rate: [$333] for those with disposable income and positionality that affords you to pay above the true value and pay-it-forward to fund the community supported rate as well as the other work I do in community such as the breathe + rest redistribution class and other work I offer for free + reduced rates that I don’t advertise.

Community Sustainer Rate: [$222] this is the true, equitable value of the offering.

Community Supported Rate: [$111] a reduced rate for those who paying a higher rate would create hardship in covering basic necessities.

as this is a small group offering, there are limited community supported rates available. please take a breath and pause for consideration of your circumstances, expendable income, and positionality before choosing the pricing option that is best for you. we’re all in this together.
