This is a sliding scale group, please read about how the sliding scale works prior to registering. You will find 3 price tiers when registering for the entire 10-week group: 

• The top price class ticket is the actual cost of the group. If you choose a ticket price below the top tier you are receiving a discount. 

•  The middle price is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship. 

•  The bottom price is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this group would still be a significant hardship.
