Finding Your Training Rate
First, determine your sliding scale rate.
We understand a variety of factors affect a person’s budget. The purpose of this sliding scale is to help you reflect on your experiences and make a contribution that feels true and just.
If you are sponsoring yourself or are not affiliated with an organization, you can detail that in the application which will automatically quote the base rate.
Next, visit your training’s webpage for pricing details.
Rockwood currently offers in-person and online training experiences. Due to differences in site costs and training preparation, each training has its own rates. Select the offering you are interested in to find your rate:
Why use this model?
“Without community there is no liberation” ~ Audre Lorde
Rockwood is committed to movements that embody radical honesty as we name our needs, collective care to meet our needs, and boundaries as love. We use this sliding scale model as an invitation for our Rockwood ecosystem to practice honest reflection – on scarcity and abundance – and determine the contribution that feels true and just.
We ask that people with access to more resources contribute more so that Rockwood can make our trainings more accessible to those with less resources.
