Program Cost

Pathways is $6,000. That's the full price, and the price for non-members.

Members pay a means-based rate. Ordination through Pathways requires membership in Sacred Garden, so we expect you to become a member in order to complete the program — nearly everyone who enrolls pays the member rate.

Membership tier	Annual income	or Net worth	You pay	Spots
Steward	$150,000+	$1,000,000+	$6,000	Unlimited
Sustainer	$100,000–$149,999	$500,000–$999,999	$5,100	[X]
Supported	$50,000–$99,999	$250,000–$499,999	$4,200	[X]
Sprout	Under $50,000	Under $250,000	$3,300	[X]

Use whichever measure — income or net worth — places you in the higher tier. You select your own tier; there's no documentation or verification. We trust you, and choosing accurately is what keeps this sustainable for everyone.

Reduced-rate spots are limited. Each cohort holds a set number at each tier, filled in the order applicants are accepted and enrolled. If your tier is full by the time you enroll, we'll tell you what's still available.
