Admission (Gift Economy Model)
This course operates on a gift economy model.
My work is rooted in relationships, trust, and the belief that education should be accessible while still honoring the real cost of creating and facilitating meaningful experiences.
Instead of a fixed fee, you are invited to choose the amount that feels right for you based on:
Your financial situation
The value of the experience for your family
Your desire to support this work for others
This model allows broader access while sustaining future programming.
