Rates

I have institutional rates and nonprofit rates for the work I do, and can charge per event, or hourly. To give a broader range with transparency:

Workshops generally range from $400 to $2,500 (USD) per event, depending on audience size, preparation and debrief meetings, possible co-facilitation design, and the collaborative research and knowledge-building that informs our process.

Longer-term institutional residencies with multiple stakeholder engagement events, onsite participatory research, and a culminating keynote generally range from $3,000-$12,000, depending on length of residency, depth of partnership, anticipated participant numbers, and design and documentation of learning outcomes.

Hourly work generally ranges $40-60/hour for design and documentation, and $100-250/hour for hosting live, participatory, research-based events as a facilitator or co-facilitator, including interactive collaboration sessions, rehearsal and action labs, and larger stakeholder meetings.

Rates change based on number of participants served, the scope of the event/s, and deliverables.

10% of all fees go to grassroots organizations working on healthcare, environmental, + racial justice.

Tax Deductible Donations

The nonprofit work I do falls under the umbrella of It Is In You Initiatives, with 501c3 sponsorship for select projects. Tax deductible donations to produce + tour select It is In You projects (e.g. Flipping Cancer) with related workshops, performances, and community-based research and engagement can be made online or by mail via sponsoring 501c3 Heart Space Spiritual Resources. Please note project in memo.

Thank you to all institutional partners, donors, and community supporters!
