Sliding Scale Payment Exclusive for BIPOC
At Gift From Neptune, we deeply value the strength and resilience of our community, and we believe in creating spaces that uplift and support everyone, especially those who have historically been marginalized.
Our sliding scale pricing is specifically designed for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) as a commitment to fostering an inclusive, accessible environment where everyone can feel seen, valued, and supported.
We recognize the ongoing challenges BIPOC individuals face in the spiritual and wellness industries—spaces that often exclude or appropriate sacred practices from their cultures.
This pricing model is our way of acknowledging these disparities and working towards economic justice on a personal and community level. It's a small step, but one that honors the unique experiences and systemic inequities faced by BIPOC communities.
We invite you to reflect on your financial resources and levels of privilege when using the sliding scale. Pay what feels right and aligned with your current situation—no questions asked. This is about supporting each other and ensuring that the healing and empowerment we offer are available to those who need it most. Please take a moment to review the guidelines below and choose a payment option that resonates with you.
