Witnessing you in this decision-making process. I challenge you to think about your feelings of being called to this space as well as your relationship with the privilege of whiteness. If you are committed to striving to work on yourself, to grow and to heal, this container is for you. If you are recognizing/have recognized that whiteness and racism are systems of harmful dominance, not just individual acts of meanness, this container is for you. If you want to unpack the ways these systems have daily effects of white privilege and have informed your biases, this container is for you.

The Heal Your Way Forward Academy is a self-paced learning platform featuring a rich collection of Forward Momentum Practice Sessions (formerly called "Masterclasses") spanning six years of transformational work. New content is added monthly to continue expanding the library.

The Collective combines access to The Academy with a hybrid community space, offering real-time support, practice sessions, community events, encouragement, and connection.

No, you can go at your own pace, you are welcome to join one event per month or quarter. You get to decide what works for you.

All monthly Forward Momentum Practice Sessions (masterclasses) are recorded and shared in the Unlearning Academy. 

If an unrecorded session (like a community Watch Party or a Direct Compassionate Communication practice session) does not fit into your schedule, you are empowered to make a request for a session that does!  At HYWF, we lean into the practice of asking for support to get our needs met!

You get in what you put out, we cannot guarantee your definition of success. 

Thank you for sharing your feelings and for engaging with this work. When the price of a container doesn't feel right, it's an important moment to reflect deeply on those feelings. Pricing can evoke strong reactions, especially when we consider the broader context of anti-Blackness and the historical commodification of Black bodies.

In a society where Black labor has often been undervalued or expected for free, it's not uncommon to feel discomfort around investing in Black-led spaces. This discomfort can be a reflection of the internalized messages we've received about worth and value—messages that stem from a history of systemic oppression.

This space is intentionally designed to honor the labor, expertise, and lived experiences of Black folks. By investing in this work, you are not only supporting your growth but also contributing to the dismantling of harmful systems that have devalued Black contributions for centuries.

I invite you to sit with these feelings and consider what it means to truly value the work and the people who are leading it. Remember, this investment is an opportunity to honor the transformative power of this work, which is rooted in love, justice, and healing​​.

We believe access to the work of liberation should be accessible for all. We follow a green bottle method (see below) where we hope white bodies can give at or above their means to support others who want to attend. 

  We do have options for scholarships or long-term payment plans. Please complete THIS FORM.

The Green Bottle Sliding Scale Method, developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, is a fee structure designed to accommodate people with different financial means. It is a flexible payment range instead of fixed price for services.

The Green Bottle Analogy

Think of it this way: imagine a green bottle filled with liquid representing different payment options. You are invited to make a payment  that corresponds to you  financial ability, no questions asked. This approach eliminates the discomfort of discussing finances and provides a safe space for clients to be honest about their capacity. If you cannot pay please email [email protected]

The Power of Transparency: One of the most important aspects of this model is transparency. We believe that people deserve access no matter their ability to pay, while also honoring the time and money it took for all of us to invest in our education, therapy, somatic body work and learning and learning. We know that we cannot remove all barriers to care, but this is one that we can certainly try to remove or at the very least make as flexible as possible.

Building a Community of Trust: By embracing the Green Bottle Sliding Scale Method, we are fostering a community of trust, understanding, and empathy. This method also encourages us to be proactive in advocating for ALL of our needs, which can be incredibly empowering.

We have 3 full scholarships and 3 partial scholarships. Please complete THIS FORM.

We can also create custom pay plans. Please contact [email protected].
