Our Ethics and Commitments
At Embodied Astrology, we are committed to working toward economic justice and using our platform and the resources it generates ethically. Our process and learning is constant and emergent.
At this time, here is how we work toward these aims:
We produce free audio horoscopes & astrology writing each zodiacal season (donations happily accepted!)
We practice reparations tithing and donate 10% of Embodied Astrology’s earnings every year to Black and Indigenous led movements.
In order to be financially accessible, all of our products and services are offered by sliding scale and/or donation.
We provide scholarship discounts for all our offerings, both upfront and upon request
We excitedly offer barters and trades.
We use our leverage and position as small-business owners to advocate for social and environmental justice, defunding police and prisons and investing in social services and reparation, and more diverse representation across all levels of leadership.
Renee Sills prices their individual reading sessions by tier and ask clients with greater financial capacity to help support those with less. They also offers free and pay-it-forward sessions to QT/BIPOC activists, social artists, and care-workers.
Requesting a scholarship
We view astrology as a profoundly helpful and healing tool for radical liberation, and firmly believe that anyone who benefits from these resources should be able to access them without financial barrier.
All our workshops are offered by sliding scale. As a general rule for how we price our offerings, the highest dollar rate aims to reflect the true cost of the workshop or product. It is the cost that the facilitator would charge all participants in the absence of a sliding scale.
If our offerings are not accessible to you at the lowest sliding scale tier, please complete this form to request a scholarship and we will provide you with a discount code.
Being honest about your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices helps build strong and sustainable communities. It also respects the work of the artists and facilitators who make up the team at Embodied Astrology, each with kin to support and bills to pay. Additionally, when creators and facilitators are paid fairly, we are more able to invest time and resources into free and lower cost offerings.
If you have additional questions or concerns regarding scholarship rates that have not been addressed here, please reach out to us here.
