Sliding Scale Explanation: We believe that financial barriers should never prevent anyone from accessing valuable skills and experiences. Our sliding scale fee structure allows participants to choose what they can afford while still supporting the cost of running the class. If you're financially stable, we encourage you to pay toward the higher end of the scale, which helps subsidize those who may be experiencing financial difficulties. No matter where you land on the scale, your participation is important to us, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming space for everyone.
