Inclusion & Accessibility
Wisdom Ways desires to create authentic, welcoming spaces that advance the spiritual growth, integration and fullness of life for all people. Wisdom Ways believes that an inherent part of that mission is ensuring the equality and inclusion of all persons, mindful of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, class, disability, immigration status, religious beliefs, age, or any other diverse backgrounds. Acknowledging our purpose as a programming and story-sharing organization, we continually strive to offer a diverse community that features the voices of historically oppressed persons, elevating the shared wisdom of their experiences as a vital element of our mission and society.
An important aspect is accessibility. Committed to the inclusion of all persons, Wisdom Ways acknowledges the societal constructions which restrict and repel persons with disabilities and persons with cultural differences, such as the Deaf community, from attending and participating in on site and online events. Thus, we strive for the inclusion of all persons in our online and in person programming.
Wisdom Ways values the participation of all its community members. If presenters or participants request COVID precautions will be taken during programming. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
For questions related to inclusion or to request accommodation, please email dclausnitzer@accolamn.org.
Pay What You Can Fees
Participant fees help cover the cost of the programming we offer. Our “pay what you can” system asks each participant to contribute at a level that is proportional to their financial resources.
“Pay what you can” advances our mission in two ways:
by making spiritual formation accessible to individuals of modest means, and
by ensuring our work remains financially sustainable for many years to come.
This is an honor system. It is up to you to determine the price point that best fits your financial situation.
Scholarships
If you are struggling to meet your basic needs, we value your wellbeing and your presence in the sacred spaces we co-create. We invite you to participate free of charge, as our resources allow. To inquire about scholarships, please contact Haven at hgreen@accolamn.org to register at no cost with support from our Scholarship Fund.
If you believe in the value of the work we do and wish to help Wisdom Ways remove financial hardship as a barrier to spiritual formation, we invite your generosity through a contribution to our Scholarship Fund.
