This cohort of about twelve people will meet every Monday afternoon on zoom at 3:00-5:30 PT, for twelve weeks.

The first meeting will be Monday September 14th, and the last on Monday, November 30, 2026.

Some portion of each call will be recorded, and you'll be expected to watch any calls you miss. We hope you can make all of the calls, but if you don't think you can commit to making at least nine, we'll likely ask for you to wait for a cohort with better timing.

For the duration of the course, we'll be working with Emotional Surfing, a micromeditation technique for daily life. This involves doing a 2-3 minute meditation at least three times a day for the duration of the course. This can happen either right when something emotionally charged happens, or anytime you think of it.

Some weeks we may have assignments. These could be guided meditations for you to learn Emotional Surfing more deeply, audio lessons or readings to introduce topics we'll cover in class, or other activities to try.

On average this will take under half an hour a week, and at most about an hour any given week.

We'll also be working with Relational Surfing in pairs. You'll be assigned a buddy for the first half of the course, and then you'll choose a buddy for the second half.

You're expected to do an hour of Relational Surfing with a partner each week. If for some reason you and your buddy can't find a time, you're expected to find another person in the program to have the session with you. Many members of our groups end up practicing with multiple people each week.

The cost for these twelve weeks is $1500. This is the rate that makes offering this work sustainable for us.

There are some scholarships available now and there may be more available in the future, so please apply for the course and apply for a scholarship even if you can't currently afford the whole fee.

We believe in the transformative power of generosity. To this end we encourage everyone with the means to contribute to a scholarship fund on top of the course fee. Whether you can afford a single dollar extra for the scholarship fund or ten thousand, you're invited to participate in an act of generosity by donating to make this program and others we offer accessible to a wider socioeconomic range of participants. Feel into what feels good in your system to contribute.
