Choose the monthly rate that feels sustainable for you. Everyone receives the same membership benefits, regardless of what they contribute.
$55+ / month
Our membership is intentionally offered on a sliding scale. $55/month is the starting rate, and you’re invited to choose a higher monthly contribution if you have the capacity to do so.
There is no “better” membership level. Everyone receives the same benefits. Contributing more simply helps strengthen Black Being and support access to our programs and community.
Membership is one way to be in relationship with Black Being. Whether you join us when you’re able, commit to an ongoing practice, or help sustain this work for others, there is a place for you here.
$8–$30 sliding scale per class
For those who want the flexibility to drop in and participate as they’re able.
Give what you can

How does the membership sliding scale work?

What classes are included with membership?
Membership includes our regular meditation and movement classes. Workshops, special events, and select programs are not included in membership and are priced separately.
Can I attend Black Being without becoming a member?
Absolutely. You can attend individual classes using our $8–$30 sliding-scale drop-in rate. Membership is an option for those who want to practice with us more consistently.
Are meditation classes free?
Some meditation offerings are offered freely as part of our commitment to making contemplative practice accessible. You do not need to be a member to participate in free meditation offerings.
Can I cancel my membership?
Yes. There is no long-term contract, and you may cancel at any time before your next renewal date.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes. Members may pause their membership for up to 30 days.
Are memberships transferable?
No. Memberships are for individual use only.
What happens if I late-cancel or don’t show up?
Please cancel at least 12 hours before class. A $12 fee applies to late cancellations and no-shows. This helps us honor the time and energy of our teachers and ensures that class spaces remain available to others.
What if a class is full?
Join the waitlist and you’ll be notified if a space becomes available.
What if I’m late to class?
Please arrive on time. Entry is not guaranteed once class has begun.
Are membership payments refundable?
Membership payments are non-refundable.
Can I support Black Being without becoming a member?
Yes. Support is a separate way to participate in the life of Black Being. You can make a one-time or recurring gift to help sustain our work, support accessible programming, and make this space possible for others.
Why membership?
Membership is about more than access to classes. It’s an opportunity to make a consistent commitment to your practice while helping sustain a space rooted in meditation, movement, community care, and collective wellbeing.
