ELL-1 Foundations: Investment
Time:
-
Weekly rhythm: Sessions are each 90-minutes long, for 12 consecutive weeks, except for holidays.
-
Choose your own adventure: There will be optional "homeplay" - a mix of discussion prompts, reading options, and practice exercises. My approach to adult learning is to trust that you will make the best decision for you, related to your depth of engagement and work. So you can read the 3-4 four underlying texts (books), or not. You can practice the somatic tools, or not. It's up to you and what fits for your life.

Payment Flow with Many Ways
A philosophical, experiential, and value-informed approach
I long for a world in which there is ample, equitable access to support and services at every scale of the social system. To realize that vision, I believe we must find new, compassionate structures that meet us where we are and encourage our hearts onward. Small, courageous experiments build our collective capacity.
​
The Many Ways approach to payment flow is one such experiment. It recognizes that what is equitable (fair to the circumstances) is not necessarily equal (the same for all). Different people at various times have diverse needs and capacities. This is life.
This approach seeks to balance individual flexibility with being in one another’s care.
​Please choose the best rate for you and your financial reality.
