  • CONTACT INFORMATION 

     

     


  • Do you have any requests for accessibility support to help you join this program or enhance your experience? (ie. translations, audio voice-overs, etc) note: we will do our best to accommodate all needs once they are known*
  • How did you hear about this program?

  • We use WhatsApp as a communication and community building tool for this course (ie sharing course content updates and swapping bird stories with other participants.) Joining is optional. Would you like to join the WhatsApp group?*

  • TUITION

    We intend to interrupt ongoing systems of inequity and the resulting lack of access to programs and education for marginalized identities by providing access to this program through three entry points: Sliding Scale, Lifeways Back Fund for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) participants, and a General Scholarship Fund for those from other marginalized identities, for those in need, and for those seeking respite from the pressures of supremacy culture.. Please choose the one that is right for you!

    In your discernment we ask that you:

    • Consider the ways you have been granted unearned advantage by the systems we live within
    • Consider your income and access to wealth
    • Consider where inherited wealth may have come from
    • Consider what you’d like to invest your resources in
    • Consider that your offering can be a prayer -- a small enactment of your commitment to restoring balance and right relationship
    • Consider what would feel joyful to give!
  • How would you like to access this course?*

  • LIFEWAYS BACK FUND

    There is a difference between accessing the Lifeways Back Fund and General Access Fund. The “sliding scale” for Lifeways Back begins at $0, and does not need to go any higher — however, it includes the possibility of offering a gift of any size at checkout, should you so choose. Anything you do choose to offer will go directly toward the Lifeways Back Access Fund to support other BIPOC participants in joining.

  • GENERAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND

    We are actively fundraising for this fund, and though we cannot guarantee it we will do our best to fulfill all requests. Please indicate below what you are able to afford for this program ($0-$99) and we will follow up as soon as we have more information about what we have available and what the need for the program is as a whole. Thank you for your patience!
