What’s the Difference Between the foundations certification and the 200hr Certification?
The Meditation Certification Training (Foundations - Level 1) is designed as an accessible starting point for those new to guiding meditations. It covers the essential techniques and provides a strong foundation for developing confidence in leading meditation sessions. It is best suited for beginners or those wanting a structured introduction to meditation teaching.
The 200hr Meditation Teacher Training is a more comprehensive, advanced program intended for those who want a deeper dive into meditation, teaching methodologies, and personal transformation. It includes advanced techniques, trauma-informed meditation, and training in structuring meditation classes and building a professional practice. This training is for those who are looking for full certification as a 200hr Certified Meditation Instructor.
While the Foundations Certification can be taken as a standalone course, it also serves as a stepping stone to the 200hr Meditation Teacher Training, allowing students to deepen their knowledge and refine their skills in a more extensive format.

Sacred Economics: A Different Way to Exchange Value
In a world where pricing is often dictated by scarcity, competition, and rigid structures, I want to offer something different—something rooted in trust, generosity, and reciprocity.
This course is now offered on a Sacred Economics tiered-pricing model, allowing you to contribute at a level that feels aligned for you. Some may give more, some may give less, but together we create a system where generosity flows, and transformational learning remains open to all.
This model is inspired by the philosophy of Charles Eisenstein—an alternative to transactional commerce that believes money should circulate freely and that education and spiritual growth should never be barriers. Instead of a fixed price, you choose your level of exchange.
