The Approach

This training is more than an education, it is a practical learning experience to
transform your offering and the spaces you occupy. This experience will offer you immediate tools, methods, and interventions to instantly cultivate a more trauma-informed approach in your current studio, classes, business, organization, and/or offerings. It is an integrative and holistic approach to discovering the connections between empowerment and resilience through personal exploration,
invitational language, safe space creation, supportive solutions, and facilitating choice-making.

Equity in Investment – Choosing your tier

We are committed to offering trainings, mentorships and opportunities that are of the highest quality, affordable and accessible while striving to keep equity and mutual exchange at the soul of how we serve.  

We recognize that we live in systems of inequity and we strive to find ways of finding balance within this. We feel that the deepest engagement and greatest benefit comes when there is a meaningful mutual exchange. 

For these reasons, we offer tiered pricing. There is an invitation to reflect on your access to resources and privilege, the value of this work, what you can genuinely afford, and what you might pay for comparable training programs. By committing to what is truly within your means you make it possible for others to show up within theirs and we are all grateful for this.

TIER 2: €180 – For those on medium incomes and access to financial resources who also are able to contribute to our scholarship fund.
