Discerning Financial Contribution
for A Year in Ceremony

As a reflection of our value of welcoming the full diversity of the human community, we employ a solidarity economy model. The term "solidarity economy" was formulated in Lima, Peru in 1997 in the context of movements for economic justice. Solidarity economies seek to dissolve barriers to participation and enhance cooperation and bondedness within communities.

A Year in Ceremony offers three tiers for tuition payment to lessen barriers to participation and encourage a diverse cohort.

  • Tier 1: Community Supported // $4400-5200 (4 spots) for those with limited income

  • Tier 2: Community Sustaining // $5700-6600 (10 spots) for covering our break-even cost

  • Tier 3: Community Supporting // $7300-9500 (4+ spots) for those called to support an economically diverse cohort
