Prospective Student Call
If you're interested in the program and have questions before applying, you can schedule a 20 minute call with our First Year faculty: Joseph or Kimberly.
Retaking
Part of the Alchemical Alignment culture includes retaking, as often as you would like. This is a win-win situation, where your skill reaches new breadth and depth, receiving the information again and again. In addition, the newcomers benefit from your level of practice. There is always something new to learn or into which to deepen, for practitioners at all levels. This model is based on Aikido classes and seminars, where all ranks of students train together, honing their abilities for a lifetime. Tuition: half the original rate. Monthly payment plan available. (Why three rates? See “Tuition” section below.)
Withdrawal/Cancellation policy
Alchemical Alignment, LLC reserves the right to cancel or postpone any program. In such a case, tuition credit is transferred to future classes. We also reserve the right to ask any student to transfer to another cohort, leave, or wait for another round, for any reason.
In case of student cancellation:
This policy encourages you to commit to coming. Tuition is transferable to another round of training up to 6 weeks prior to the start of the class. Within 6 weeks of class, if you leave early, or decide to change to a future group, the $500 registration fee will be charged, as well as any applicable credit card fees. Also within 6 weeks of class, your full tuition is non-refundable or transferable, regardless of your participation in classes, except in cases of dangerous weather, or unexpected illness or emergency.
Participation eligibility, and advancing to the next Modules or Levels, to be determined by instructors.
International Courses
Students are welcome to participate from anywhere in the world, and we are in the process of making the core curriculum available in other countries and languages. The first of these is an upcoming round of Alchemical Alignment training in Portuguese, taught in Brazil. Learn more here.

Tuition: why three rates?
Alchemical Alignment tuition is on sliding scale pricing which offers financial accessibility to those who need it and a chance for those with financial stability to practice redistribution. A great big thanks to Alexis J. Cunningfolk for their writing on sliding scale pricing.
*These categories are general and not meant to describe the nuances of each person's experience with money and privilege. Please follow your aligned guidance in self-determining what tuition category fits best.
Scholarship Tuition
The first price of three
The Scholarship Tuition is discounted. Consider if this price is for you if paying standard tuition would be significant or stressful because you have difficulty accessing resources and meeting basic needs takes up most of your budget. This is especially for people who are of the global majority (POC), LGBTQIA+, working class, disabled, neurodivergent, or immigrants.
Standard Tuition
The second price of three
The Standard Tuition is the actual cost of the course. Consider this price if you are able to meet your basic needs and have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.
Redistribution Tuition
The third price of three
The Redistribution Tuition allows you to help cover the tuition cost of your peers who have less. Consider if this price is for you if you are comfortably able to meet all of your basic needs and have expendable income. This is especially for property-owners/high-end renters, white, cis, able-bodied, settler, university educated people, or if you have investments / a retirement-fund.
