Hi there! Thanks for visiting this page. This is where i’d like to share in a more personal way how I came to this School Library and it’s technical and financial structure.

My calling in creating this subscription program has been to make my teaching library accessible for anyone who is drawn to study these teachings. On the heels of several years of teaching training programs, I find myself with an intense desire for something simpler, more accessible, more free and organic (for myself and others).

For a while I was thinking about creating a simple recurring monthly subscription that people can cancel at any time. Kind of like the Netflix model. However, something felt uneasy in my body about that. It actually took a long time to identify what didn’t feel in alignment for me.

Why this is not a recurring monthly subscription

One, a recurring monthly subscription felt a bit like “giving everything a way”. Coming from selling products and entire training programs in the 3 and 4 digits, I had a hard time imagining offering everything potentially just just a single month. This also wouldn’t provide me with much financial stability, not knowing when someone would cancel. I couldn’t shake a not-so-good feeling in my body about that.

Secondly, and I think this is the biggest piece for me, I deeply value conscious relationship; for the exchange of payment for access to feel intentional, purposeful, sacred. I didn’t just want to “sell access”.

This idea of a fixed-term subscription has appeal to me because it anchors the student in an intentional time frame, bringing myself and each student into a thoughtful and intentional energy exchange. It’s not just a subscription, it’s a commitment to a period of time. This commitment provides for me some degree of financial certainty and it also honors for the student that they have chosen an intentional container of time for their own studies.

After considerable reflection, I landed on the two tier system of four months and one year, each offering a defined period of time for intentional study and immersion into my school library.

Regarding the mentorship classes and community page

I think about half of my library is really suitable for self-study. This is the Essentials and Planets material. However when it comes to the chart interpretation work and transits work, I really feel that for many students, it wants additional support and space for student teacher interaction. I think the more interpretive level teachings in the library would be better assimilated with some engagement, demonstration and practice. So I added 6 mentorship meetings to the annual subscription for students to get to work with me, ask questions, see live chart reading examples, without needing to take an actual course.

I also created a community space for students to connect with one another. This is a way to engage with the material, to develop study relationships, and make the entire library experience more of a community space. I love how that feels.

All of this is offered only for the annual plan as the full year term provides a very solid time frame for deep this deeper level of immersion. When you subscribe to the yearly term, you know what you are getting and I know this too. It immediately sets us up in a relational field, which is what I love most.

The 4 month term is just for library access. At 4 months it still feels more intentional than just a monthly drop in, but is short enough that it’s not a huge commitment. It’s still a period of intentional time with an easy pathway for upgrade for students who would like to jump into the yearly subscription for a deeper and more held experience. 

About renewals and upgrades

The choice can be made to renew at either tier, but it has to be done by the student, it is not automatic. An automatic renewal makes sense for Netflix, which provides movie access, but this is the study of the soul. I want intention, purpose, containment, ground. The purposeful choice to commit to a period of time marks this as more than just a casual ongoing subscription.

A student can upgrade anytime from the 4 month to the full year. Their existing payment will be deduced from the cost of the full year when that happens. This can happen on your subscription account page.

Final thoughts

This library is a way to access my enitre school curriculum for a fixed period. It is not owning the material, but it does provide affordable access with the option for community support and easy renewal.

I do have other pathways of study available which I want to mention here. For those who would like to purchase specific classes, you can always visit my classes page where everything in my library is available for individual sale. I also have a monthly drip subscription where I provide access to a new series of lessons every month. 

Here is a summary of all the ways my library is made available:

1. Classes page for individual class sales. This is great for anyone who just wants to focus on a few specific classes and nothing else.
2. 4 month School Library subscription – full access for 4 months
3. Annual School Library subscription +Ccommunity, 6 mentorship classes – full acess for 1 year + community group and 6 mentorship classes.
4. My monthly drip library Month to month subscribers receive a new series of lessons every month for as long as they are subscribed. This is for the student who just wants a small chunk of accessible teachings every month. Currently it will take 25 to 3 years for the entire library to be released under that subscription structure.

I am also soon to continue to work with my return students, a devoted group of students who have been a part of my live training programs which I have been teaching for the past 5 years.

Thank you for reading and I’m grateful to share my own process/ inner thinking around this.
