COST
SUGGESTED DONATION: $250-$700 pp
We believe the online cohort is worth market-rate prices for virtual coaching and training, but we hesitate to establish transactional relationships. Instead, we are asking for a donation to help launch other translocal networks. To help us accomplish this important work we are asking for a donation between $250-$700 per person. This is not a fee, ultimately, you can donate $0 if you so choose.
