• Program Proposal Form

  • Thank you for your interest in offering a program at The Red Shoes. We are a community grounded in love, transformation, and spiritual exploration.

    The Red Shoes welcomes program proposals from the public and also actively recruits facilitators whose work resonates with our mission. Our goal is to cultivate offerings that nurture spiritual exploration, personal growth, and community connection.

    We organize our programming into three distinct seasons:

    Spring: January – April; proposals due by October 15th (of the preceeding year)
    Summer: May – August; proposals due by March 15th
    Fall: September – December; proposals due by July 15th

    Program proposals are considered 2–3 months in advance of each season. All proposals are carefully evaluated by our Programming Committee before a decision is made.

    To ensure all programs align with our mission and values, we ask facilitators to keep the following in mind when proposing a program:

    • Our programs invite participants to reimagine the Self and explore personal growth, healing, and connection with others and the natural world.
    • Programs must create a welcoming space for all, rooted in empathy, respect, and a non-judgmental spirit.
    • We value shared humanity and deep, honest dialogue over division. Facilitators are expected to hold space with compassion and presence.
    • Offerings may include expressive arts, books, films, movement, meditation, or other means of meaningful connection and self-reflection.
    • We invite facilitators to draw from spiritual, psychological, and symbolic sources such as Jungian theory, dreamwork, myth, and contemplative practices.
    • We welcome programs that honor life’s natural rhythms and transitions, embracing mystery and the journey of becoming.
    • We are committed to making programs accessible to our diverse community.
    • We encourage offerings to be low-cost or donation-based when possible. The Red Shoes may be able to work with facilitators to offer sliding scale pricing or partial scholarships to participants. We ask all facilitators to approach pricing with equity and inclusion in mind.

    Please fill out the following Proposal Form and as much as you are able, knowing that it will help us greatly to better understand your work experience and program offerings.

    At The Red Shoes, we view programming as a collaborative partnership. While we promote all programs through our website, social media channels, email marketing, and seasonal publications, facilitators are also expected to actively participate in promoting their offerings. Experience shows that programs are most successful when both The Red Shoes and the facilitator work together to reach potential participants.
  • Please indicate which marketing methods you currently use and the number of people or outlets you anticipate reaching through each. We also invite you to share any additional promotional strategies you plan to use.
