WHAT TO EXPECT:

Beyond the facilitated sessions together participants can expect to make time for journaling, reflection, between session homework as well time to connect and reflect in small groups.

SLIDING SCALE:

• $300-$900 for the 3 month course

• Scholarship

• Pay for yourself + a Scholarship

• Payment plans available - let us know what will work best for you).

• *Participant Witness (see below for details)

How much should I pay for a sliding scale course?

Sliding scale takes into account your financial situation and circumstances when setting tuition. The higher end of the scale ($900) is intended for those with stable incomes and the ability to save. Your ability to support at the higher end allows the course to offer sliding scale tuition! The lower end of the scale ($300) is intended for students, and others who are getting by but don’t have much extra in their budget. If you find yourself between these two examples we suggest a mid-range rate ($600). For those with little-to-no income, especially in these difficult economic times, scholarships are available.

* Participant witnesses are those who feel they are entering the space with more experience living with marginalized identities. We recognize that for those in this role, sharing those lived experiences is deeply valuable, and requires more emotional labor. We honor that labor. It is always invited, never expected. As you sign up, please select the “participant witness” option in the registration form, and let us know what feels best for you to contribute from zero on up. We benefit from your added voice.

We like to remind everyone that all of our identities are intersectional - by this we mean that we are all a combination of our many identities (race, ethnicity, gender-identity, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, immigration status, physical and mental ability, body type, body size, religion, political beliefs and etc.). Most of us are not fully marginalized or fully privileged in society. Most of us experience a combination of both privilege and marginalization as we move through life.

We believe that all of us have something to gain from working on Allyship and delving into areas in which we are less aware.

EXPECTATIONS AND SPECIFIC ACCOMMODATIONS

At Justice Movement we strive to vary our teaching methods and keep things interesting and accessible for a variety of learning styles. We rarely lecture or talk for a long time, and lean heavily on intimate small group sharing, images and tools, and a variety of media (podcasts, articles, videos, poems, etc) for homework. We take breaks during long sessions, and encourage everyone to do what their body needs in order to focus. We also welcome your participation, and love to share the mic. Please let us know if you need specific accommodations, learning tools, or support in order to stay engaged and participate as comfortably as possible.
