SEVERE HARDSHIP

Minimum

I frequently stress about basic needs and don’t always achieve them.

Paying the middle cost would severely impact my ability to feed my kids, pay rent, and access healthcare.

Lifetime Access

12 monthly payments of $36

MODERATE HARDSHIP

Partial

I stress about meeting basic needs but still regularly achieve them.

Paying full price would notably impact my ability to feed my kids, pay rent, and access healthcare.

Lifetime Access

12 monthly payments of $68

NO HARDSHIP

Full

I can comfortably meet all my basic needs.

Paying full price would not noticeably impact my ability to feed my kids, pay rent, or cover our medical expenses.

Lifetime Access

12 monthly payments of $136

You retain lifetime access even after all 12 monthly payments are complete. Membership is not transferable between the Summer & Winter Collectives.

I say I’m going to DIY-it, but then I get stuck in the research. And then I get bogged down. And then I get tired and overwhelmed.

Okay, have I done enough research? Am I finding the right things?

Don’t trivialize the importance of what Ashia is doing. Yes, everyone could DIY a program to learn how to break out of an inertia spiral and care for others without burning out. But most people aren’t going to. And they aren’t going to do it with the ability and the knowledge that Ashia has, in such a short time, and in such a fun way.

Winter Incubator Registration FAQ

  • Educators, parents, and caregivers who feel spread thin caring for others are welcome here – particularly those of us who may not feel welcome or safe in traditional ‘parent’ groups.
  •  
  • Members are expected to have a cursory understanding of systemic oppression (ex: racism exists, oppression is systemic, and we are all responsible for ending it). We’re all expected to have the self-awareness to be mindful of our individual power and group privilege when in conflict with other members.
  •  
  • If you’re not sure whether you are welcome in this space, let me know what’s on your mind and we can find the right space for you together – even if it’s not here.
  •  
  • But if you *already know everything* about social justice and parenting, this is not the space for you.
  •  
  • If you are offended by targeted people finding ways to laugh through hardship, this is not the serious space you are looking for.
  •  
  • If you can only tolerate polite, restrained conversations that center white comfort over curiosity and honesty – we are not your people.
  • We accept 8 new members each winter, on a rolling basis. Our enrollment period typically starts in December, giving priority to folks in our wait list and members of the Luminary Braintrust.
  •  
  • If you would like to get first dibs, join the waitlist.
  • If by our fourth week, you have attended at least four live hangouts and have engaged in the chat group – and it’s still not working for you, contact me to request a full refund.
  •  
  • Since there is such limited space in the collective, I can’t offer refunds if you just don’t attend or engage with our group. For more info, check out the full return policy.
  • While you have lifetime access to the Winter Portal and all existing and future Winter Incubator resources, you’re never obligated to actively participate in future collectives.
  •  
  • Our discussions are deeply interactive and not designed for passive consumption. Each year, I reach out to our returning members before opening the collective to new folks, to see if you’d like to actively participate, take a role in supporting new members, or just take a break for as many years as you like.
  •  
  • Unsubscribing from these check-ins is easy, and I don’t monitor the alumni list (so you don’t have to worry about offending anyone.)
  • In the unlikely event that we’re WAY TOO POPULAR and we have too many members to host a cozy gathering, I’ll split us up into smaller cohorts.
  •  
  • But don’t wait too long – the winter collective is designed to help you gain free time, strengthen your relationships, and learn to keep others warm without setting yourself on fire. The longer you put this internal work off, the harder it’ll be to avoid sabotaging yourself and those you care for.
  •  
  • However – if you are a person with power and privilege and want to show your kids how to care for others without saviorism or burnout – start now – before they pick up more of your most self-destructive habits.
  • Our live hangouts are deeply interactive and not designed for passive consumption. We include 3-8 members in each cohort to build trust and really get to know each other. 
  •  
  • I tailor the resources for each collective to be accessible for every member’s accessibility needs and individual goals, so we keep our groups small to make our gatherings sustainable with breathing space to dive deep into our unique challenges.
  • If you’d like to join the collective with a friend or as a group, contact me for a discounted group rate.
  •  
  • However, if your friend just wants access to the portal and resources, but can’t afford the cost of enrollment, encourage them to take advantage of our sliding scale.
  •  
  • Please keep your portal login and the resources from our library private unless you have express permission from Raising Luminaries. Sharing these outside our membership is a violation of the terms & conditions.
