Part of changing the way we work is changing the way we contribute to each other's well being, and I see this kind of pricing model as a core component of that. If you're curious, I wrote about why I think it's important to talk about money this way: everythingchanges.us/blog/all-on-...

As with all my practices, pricing is on a sliding scale, and I'm happy to think with you if you have questions or want to talk out what it means to pay for things this way. everythingchanges.us/workshop/sf/...

This kind of thinking is a big part of why I so enjoy gathering people together to imagine different ways of working; it's critical to talk about what's wrong with work right now. It's likewise necessary to imagine *what else*. everythingchanges.us/workshop/sf

I keep the work/shops very small so that we really have a chance to get to know and witness each other; applications are open now, and are due by noon EST next Monday. Everyone who applies will hear from me the following week. everythingchanges.us/workshop/sf/...

As with all my services, fees are structured on a sliding scale. If the standard rate ($600) works for you, great. If that’s inaccessible, you can pay less; if it seems too good to be true, I invite you to pay more! everythingchanges.us/workshop/sf/...

This will be the fourth cohort of the work/shop, which has evolved with the practice, care, and attention of everyone who has joined so far. I am so, so grateful for their contributions and hope to honor them by paying it forward.
