Cost for this event is based on a sliding scale of ability to pay. You will be asked to estimate what you can afford based on your own assessment of your resources (we have no desire to be anyone's accountants). The options provided for rates are:
"I am more than able to meet all of my needs and can help support others" - $45
"I am comfortably able to meet all of my needs" - $38
"I am able to meet all of my basic needs" - $30
"I may stress about meeting my basic needs but still regularly achieve them" - $22
"I frequently stress about meeting basic needs and don't always achieve them" - $15
"I am unable to afford any of these amounts and would like to request additional consideration." - We will contact you
These amounts cover both sessions of the retreat.
To learn more about how our practice thinks about rates and sliding scales, read the information on our Services & FAQ page.

About the Space - StorieBrook Community Room
StorieBrook's Rainbow Room aims to create a community space that is warm and inviting, where our beloved community can create connection, learn, grow, unwind and share joy! The space has a gender-neutral bathroom that is accessible and equipped with pull bars around the toilet. The room is accessed via an accessible ramp leading from the parking lot. The space is equipped with a permanent bench, lots of folding chairs, yoga mats, and lots of other props for making our activities there comfortable on the hardwood floors. The chairs are all without arms, at least 18 inches wide, and at least 500lb capacity. Our goal is for this to be an inclusive and sensory-friendly space, so we try not to use the overhead florescent lights, and to keep the noise low. There is some ambient noise from the highway outside, and a fountain in the room that can be unplugged if this noise is unpleasant for any users. There is an adjacent office that can be used as a quiet space should anyone become overstimulated. There are chairs and places to sit should people need a break during the event. There is a fan and additional air-conditioning unit in the space in order to keep it cool and comfortable, and lots of blankets should anyone feel cold. Please, make yourself at home - there is tea on the counter, and the kettle is always on!
At our events, all bodies are welcome, and no previous experience is necessary! These classes are spaces where all bodies are celebrated and fatphobia and body shaming will not be tolerated. We celebrate working with bodies with all levels of strength, mobility and access, and are excited to create and encourage adaptations as needed.
All of the offerings at StorieBook aspire to our values of access, anti-racism, body liberation, collaboration, cultural humility, diversity & disability justice, education, inclusion & affirmation, and trauma-informed care. We can't wait to meet you!
Covid Policy: Masks are welcome and optional. Please consider taking an at-home Covid test before attending this gathering and do not attend events at StorieBrook if you have symptoms of illness.
