Sliding Scale

The goal of nepantla healing space is to ensure that everyone in our community has equitable access to our wellness space and offerings. In order to address financial inaccessibility, we provide a pay-what-you-can or sliding scale rate using the work of Alexis J. Cunningfolk of Worts & Cunning Apothecary to help guide your payment.  There are three suggested sliding scale options defined below: supporter rate, sustain rate, and access rate. We trust you to choose the rate that aligns with your current financial situation, and we encourage honesty and transparency in this process. Your contribution, whatever it may be, helps sustain our space and allows us to continue providing accessible wellness services to all who seek them. Because we recognize that many of us experience nepantla in our finances, we assure that no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
