Alternatively, you can always book a free, fifteen-minute consultation with me to figure out if coaching is truly right for you, or you can be my next client for coaching, critiques, or editing if and when you’re ready. The links for both options are in my bio.
Due to its current status as an experimental pilot program, I offer my group coaching sessions at $25 per session for a total of 39 sessions. The price will increase in the following years as the program gets refined. Also, because of my Secular Buddhist philosophy, I’m taking a “come and see for yourself” approach and opening up two free audit spots per session to those who are interested in seeing how I coach and teach people to help them decide if they want to become full participants.
Which brings me to my coaching sessions, how you can audit it one for free, and how much it costs regularly. Who are the sessions for? What are they about? When do they happen? Where do they happen? Glad you asked all these important questions!
