Pricing
No Subscriptions
After experiencing the unhealthy side of spirituality as a monk, I didn’t want to box others into an endless cycle of payments just to “unlock the next level”.
That’s called subscription spirituality.
That’s not necessary when you learn how to meditate in a sustainable, empowered way.
This is ultimately a healthy form of meditation.
Instantly affordable humane
I was living a 14 year social experiment teaching meditation as an undocumented “outlaw” in a foreign country.
I had to learn how to survive. That street-level lesson forever changed the way I look at commerce.
The way I see it, if you are needing something for your mind, body, heart and soul, then you shouldn’t be stopped by the contents of your bank account.
In short: it’s not my business to know your financial situation in this moment.
Nor do you know what this very different meditation approach will be like before you begin. So how would you know what it’s worth ahead of time?
I could convince you with some brilliant marketing that doesn’t sound like AI. But that’s a lot of work. I’d rather be simple.
So I have two options for you.
Option #1: by donation
One way to address the issue of money is to ask for a donation at the end of the meditation course.
It goes like this: I’ll say, “the amount is whatever you feel it’s worth to you, combined with what works for you financially.”
Sounds simple?
Whatever is right for you is right for me, and there’s no wrong amount.
There isn’t even a so-called “suggested donation” either.
I trust you, and it works out for both of us. It always does.
If you’re afraid of this being awkward down the line, remember, this path is optional—see #2 below.
And if this all seems just odd, let’s consider that it should be more humane in our culture not to deny someone the best education because of some arbitrarily determined value.
And all meditation courses’ dollar value are arbitrary.
All of them.
Even when I was teaching as a monk, we made up the prices. It’s true. That’s just how it works.
Nowadays, if I hired a top marketing firm, I could easily justify this course costing $1,500 USD because it offers more than what is out there. But I refuse to price meditation as a luxury service.
This approach is not about affordability—but rather humanity.
Option #2: fixed fee
You pay a fixed fee at the end of the course and you’re all set. Simple.
But I can practically hear you saying, well if this is so “simple”, why not just do it this way in the first place?
Someone has to call out the arbitrary meditation pricing situation in our society and offer a practical solution.
And since I’ve lived off of donations for all of my personal services, I feel 100% confident showing others that it’s a viable, humane path.
