Many of us running small enterprises dedicated to providing un/learning spaces for up and coming world-change actionists think a lot about how to charge for our programs in ways that make them accessible to more people whilst at the same time making us a living. One approach is to seek to make sales to people with diverse levels of relative wealth on a sliding scale. We invite people with a high relative wealth to think about paying more (paying it forward) to allow people with a low relative wealth to pay less and, therefore, be able to attend.

This approach however has its challenges as many of us carry deep distresses around wealth and have difficulty in determining where on the scale we may fall. We may feel that we have relatively less wealth to our neighbors while not taking into account our overall economy and level of access, or we may carry distress around businesses in general having vast sums of money and needing to bargain to ‘win’. Learning to do this with some clarity is a vital part of being able to diversify the community we can support. If you would like some assistance in becoming financially literate around what your relative wealth might be, have a look at this working document we are using to expand on the concept.

One approach to countering these distresses may be to spend a moment feeling into all the wealth, abundance and sufficiency you do have access to. Notice the ways in which you are supported, and have enough. With gratitude for this ‘enoughness’, have a look at the categories below and assess where you fit in. Once you’ve chosen the level you are able to contribute at, click the purchase button to be taken to a checkout page with your chosen commitment. We’ve also included a generous payment plan which would allow you to pay the course off at any level over a period of 15 months.

This is necessarily more transparent and therefore, more complex than usual costings. We ask you to bear with us and practice your mindflex in this experiment.
