Session 3: Accessibility without apology

January 25

@

6:00 pm

-

7:30 pm

Online Many spiritual directors have never calculated what it actually costs to offer this work sustainably. In this session, we move from story to numbers—without losing the soul. You’ll learn to distinguish fixed costs (platform fees and professional memberships), variable costs (marketing, continuing ed), and hidden costs (emotional labor, preparation time, unpaid admin). Together, you’ll discern your financial needs from your practice, not from greed but from faithfulness to your own calling and your real needs.
