solidarity Discounts

Solidarity rates are available for marginalized people with financial need. I offer solidarity discounts not because I don’t need the money (I DO!) but as a commitment to anti-capitalist practices in my business.

For my own financial well-being, I need most of the people who sign up for the class to pay the full rate. Solidarity discounts are not intended for people with race-, class- or gender-based privilege, even if you’re in a moment of financial discomfort.

If you are marginalized and the full cost of this course prohibits your participation, the solidarity discounts are for you.

PAID IN FULL SOLIDARITY Options:

Full cost: $570

20 percent solidarity discount: $456

PAYMENT PLAN SOLIDARITY Options:

All of these options can be combined with 3 month and six month payment plans.

Full cost: $190 x 3 months or $95 X 6 months

20 percent solidarity discount: $152 x 3 months or $76 x 6 months

50 percent solidarity discount: $95 x 3 months or $47.50 x 6 months

70 percent solidarity discount: $57 x 3 months or $28.50 x 6 months

My commitments:

There is never a higher rate for payment plans.

I don’t put a limit on the number of discounted spots for open-enrollment classes.

I trust my students to accurately self-assess their financial need.

There are no major hoops to jump through to access the discounts.

I’m grateful for all my students, regardless of what they pay.

My requests:

Please use the discounts only if you truly need them.

If the issue is one of cash-flow, (ie, you will eventually have access to the funds to pay for class, just not all at once) please use a payment plan instead of a solidarity discount.

Please do not use the solidarity discounts because of preference to pay a lower cost or a fear of future scarcity.

If you have people in your life who could give or lend you the money to pay for this course, please utilize that network.

Please make your assessments based on facts, not feelings.

How to actually use the discount:

Use discount code SOLIDARITY20 to pay $456.

Use discount code SOLIDARITY50 to pay $285.

Use discount code SOLIDARITY70 to pay $171.

Payment plan options for the discounted rates appear automatically at checkout once you’ve entered the discount code. If the lowest discount here is truly unaffordable to you, drop me a line: bear@bearcoaches.com

Discounts are on an honor system in good faith with no application process. During checkout, you’ll be asked to share one sentence about why you qualify for a discount. I ask this to make sure the program is working as intended. There are no other hoops to jump through.
