Pay What You Can/Sliding Scale Pricing Model Explained

We live in a class-stratified society. Some of us have more economic wealth. Some of us have less. Some of us have a lot more! And some of us have a lot less. And some of us have enough to live relatively comfortably, to meet our basic needs as well as some extras—like vacations and yoga classes!

Pay what you can/sliding scale pricing options are a way of contributing to economic justice. We want to promote dignity and belonging for all of our community members. Healing modalities and embodied movement options like yoga and dance are often expensive and not available to some of the people who need these services the most. We think that we all need these services and Sliding Scale/Pay What You Can Pricing helps us to be more inclusive and community-oriented.

Pay what you can means that if you can pay more, please pay more and if you can’t pay, we have a scholarship program to support you. This economic justice initiative is on a kind of honor system. In other words, we trust you! We do not ask you to disclose financial information and we do not judge you for what you choose to pay (or not to pay). Instead, we ask you to make the payment choice that feels right for you.

Some days Pay What You Can might be the lowest on the sliding scale; other days you might have some extra and can contribute to our scholarship fund.

Let‘s break it down a bit more:

How hard a person works does not translate into economic wealth; the system (white supremacist capitalist ableist patriarchy) exploits workers and relies upon a hierarchy that leaves some people without enough to meet their basic needs.

If you can pay more, then not only are you paying for the services and offerings that we provide, you are also making it possible for someone with less economic wealth to experience these offerings and services. Please choose the higher end of the sliding scale prices and/or consider making a donation to The Spiral Goddess Collective Care fund.

If you have enough, then please pay what you can and perhaps choose the mid-range of the sliding scale when you can and the low range of the scale most of the time.

Sometimes, we fall on hard times—or we just can’t get unstuck. We think that our programs help improve mental and physical health and overall quality of life, so we also offer full or partial scholarships through The Spiral Goddess Collective Care Fund. Again, we trust you. It’s not easy to ask for help and we want to make it as shame-free as possible!

We think that the programs that we offer have a high value, but we also want to make them more accessible to all of the members of our community. 100% of our profits at The Spiral Goddess Collective go directly back into the business and donations to community organizations that are in line with our mission and vision. Many of the Curators at The Spiral Goddess Collective choose to donate a portion of what we make so that we can provide our services and offerings to more people in our community.

Pay what you can/sliding scale pricing is an economic justice initiative. We appreciate you choosing the price option that best fits what you can pay for our services.
