REGISTRATION & PAYMENT

• you can register for the immersion here. 

• you can pay sarah for the offering here. 

​FEE

• this immersion is offered in the radical gift economy model.  the suggested fee for the 9 weeks is $250-350, but anyone is sincerely encouraged to enroll, regardless of ability to pay.  some will give less while others who can might give more.  

​

LEVEL

• this immersion is open to all levels of experience, though some familiarity with either yoga, meditation or mindfulness will likely prove beneficial.  

  • if you're interested but new to practice, try to attend a saturday sangha ​(see "community" on homepage) or two before the immersion if possible.

​

ATTENDANCE

• this will be a "closed group" once the immersion begins; no drop ins will be possible.

​

• attending the zoom sessions on wednesday evenings LIVE is ideal.  i understand however that this is not always possible!  folx in different time zones, in positions that don't allow for it, like parenting, etc...  so we have two options:

​

1. for participants who CAN attend MOST of the LIVE wednesday zoom sessions (you'll be asked to mark this in your registration):

   • great! need to miss a full session or two, or a bit of one session here or there?  no problem.  if you can, please email sarah in advance & let her know.​

   • you will be partnered with another person who also attends LIVE sessions (unless you request a specific partner who cannot attend live).​

2. for participants who CANNOT attend the LIVE wednesday zoom sessions (you'll be asked to mark this in your registration)

   • we ask that you download & practice with/watch the wednesday zoom session BY SUNDAY of that​ same week (just do your best).  this commitment is designed to:

     • keep you in connection to the group​.

     • enable you and your partner to stay up to date on the partner work.

     • provide a specific framework to encourage consistency in your practice.

   • you will be partnered with another person who also is NOT attending most session live (unless you request a specific partner who is attending live).

​

• ALL participants will have access to recorded zoom sessions, available to download, within 24 hours of the live practices (i'll aim for thurs morning).  downloads​ will remain available through april 30, 2021.

QUESTIONS?  email sarah

may we uncover clarity, power and resilience together.
