We recognise that access to financial resources is shaped by structural inequalities that privilege some while excluding others. We are striving to make this space accessible while honouring the real time, labour, and resources that go into holding it with integrity.
Your contribution supports local facilitators, artisans, cultural knowledge holders, and community members who are stewards of practices, stories, and ways of being that have cared for the earth across generations. This programme is a small practice of redistributing resources: recognising, honouring, and sustaining what is often invisibilised or devalued within dominant systems, and supporting those who continue to protect and carry these vital ways forward.

Access
Scholarships
Partial scholarships are available for those who need financial support. We prioritise applications from people from marginalised backgrounds — including Adivasi and Indigenous communities, Dalit and Bahujan communities (SC, ST, OBC, SBC, NT, VJ, DNT, etc.), queer and trans people, religious minorities, and people with disabilities. You can request a scholarship through the application form; if spots are filled and you’re unable to pay the standard rate, we can add you to a waitlist.
The Pay-it-Forward rate
Our course runs on a tight margin, so we can offer only a limited number of subsidised scholarships. Choosing the pay-it-forward rate helps us offer more scholarships, welcome a wider range of voices and lived experiences, and sustain a more equitable model — enriching the learning space for everyone. If you come with economic privilege, institutional backing, and financial support, we invite you to consider this rate.
Payment Plans
We’re happy to explore a payment plan on request. Fees must be paid in full by 15 October, 2026.
