Picture from past Watershed retreats

Like many nonprofit organizations, our donations have dropped significantly during the Covid-19 pandemic and we are struggling to adapt. Our generosity policies are intended to invite and sustain our diverse community and to make our offerings available to ALL who wish to participate. The fees for our classes and programs represent what is needed to cover our fixed costs that support our programs, the cost for maintaining our training, and founding teacher.

If the $150 program price is a financial challenge, registrants can pay what they can afford using the custom program fee option below.

Your generosity helps cover the costs for others who are not able to afford the full price. Again thank you for your participation and support.
