The Wisdom Should Be Available to Those Called to It
Cost should never be the final barrier for someone who is genuinely ready to do this work. The Sacred Access Program exists to make sure it isn’t.
Why This Exists
The medicine wheel model
The pricing of this work is set to honor its depth and the years that went into building it. That is not negotiable. What is negotiable is the path to the door. The Sacred Access Program is not a discount program. It is a values statement: this Institute does not believe that financial architecture should determine who gets to remember who they are. The medicine wheel has no front row. Pricing honors the value of the work. Sacred Access honors the calling.
Three Pathways
Choose the door that fits your situation
Scholarship
For those called but unable to pay.
A limited number of scholarship seats are available each cohort for veterans, single parents, Indigenous community members, and those facing genuine financial hardship. These are not discounts — they are investments the Institute makes in people whose work will carry this wisdom forward.
Work-Trade
Exchange skill for access.
If you have capacity to contribute — in administration, marketing, content editing, community moderation, or research — you may apply to offset part or all of your tuition through service. This is not charity. This is reciprocity.
Patron Sponsorship
Your abundance funds another’s access.
If you are enrolling at full tuition and feel moved to sponsor a community member’s seat, the Patron tier allows you to do so. You pay for two — yourself and someone whose application the Institute has approved. Your name or anonymity is honored in the cohort.
Who This Is For
A genuine barrier — not a preference
Sacred Access is for people where cost is an actual wall, not an inconvenience. If you are in a position to stretch for it, we encourage you to do so — the commitment you make financially is part of the container. This program is for those for whom that stretch is genuinely not possible right now.
