How much do workshops cost?

PleasureNess Literary Academy is committed to being financially accessible. Everything
we offer is either free or sliding scale based on participants accessible resources. As we
grow financially, we look forward to offering even more discounts and scholarships so
that everyone can access our medicinal workshops, skill and craft developing programs,
and community healing events. **Workshops are series. These prices cover one class out of the series and not the entire series. Events are also sliding scale, but as the prices differ, they are not included in this breakdown** Solidarity Scholarship: This is for people who normally get priced out of healing, creative, and professional development programs due to systemic disenfranchisement, illness, disability, or guardianship. It is very important to me that your voice, energy, and brilliance is a part of everything PleasureNess Literary Academy creates and does.

Actual Client Costs: This cost bracket is for people who are comfortably middle class. The average cost for Coaching today is $200. I think that cost is fair, that coaches work hard and give so much of themselves, and the price is still inaccessible for many of the people who do service oriented work. As a result, my prices are created to welcome, celebrate, and nurture ALL of the people with whom I want to build and support. If you can afford to pay prices in alignment with the market rate, I encourage you to. If not:

Liberation Ally Investment Cost: Not only is the PleasureNess Literary Academy costs accessible for you, you can afford to work with people who charge much more than me. Or, you have an extraordinary gift to trade that can support the growth and development of PleasureNess. Regardless, you value the PleasureNess Mission, you want other people to have access to this beautiful and regenerating experience, and you have the capacity to make it happen. This bracket is for you. Thank you for supporting our community!
