We ask that people give an amount that is both generous and joyful. Our costs went up by 30% this year, but we did not raise the prices to reflect that, so we will be doing some fundraising in order to continue being inclusive.
If you are unable to contribute at bottom of the sliding scale, please contact us – we may be able to work something out with work trade!
Those of you who are able to pay at the higher end of the sliding scale enable us to hold this retreat in a spirit of generosity and inclusiveness.
We will notify you by June 1st if you have a spot, at the latest. People registering after June 1st will be notified as soon as possible.
