The Radiant Approach to Money
The Radiant Approach to Money
Transparency • Accessibility • Reciprocity
Learning, growth and transformation should be accessible. I want you to have all the information you need to make an informed decision about participating in Radiant programmes.
A core value is that we are in this together. I want to create as many opportunities as possible for people to participate, regardless of their financial circumstances. The financial side of Radiant is designed to support accessibility, encourage reciprocity and create opportunities for everyone to contribute to the growth of the community.
As the founder, I have the opportunity to establish financial policies that reflect my values, rather than following conventional sales and pricing practices.
My guiding principle in all my work is for those who are interested and ready can have access. The financial piece will never be a barrier.

Pricing without Games
Everyone seems to love a sale and getting a great deal can feel great.
But..I hate missing a sale and then knowing I paid full price. And, I hate feeling like I "should" wait for a sale on something I want.
As a business person, I do not like putting on sales, because honestly, I don't like "selling". My focus is on creating content to serve you, not feeding the never ending marketing machine and coming up with sale offers.
My marketing will simply occur so that people know of my work and decide to purchase and take the next step because it is right for them in the moment.
Let your intuition and desire for learning lead your decision to purchase, not the lure of a short term sale.
I don't create marketing campaigns around price incentives. When additional learning opportunities are included with early registration, they are communicated as part of the programme offering, not used as a sales incentive or countdown to purchase.
Pricing on Courses is not guaranteed year over year, but will reflect the changing financial landscape and cost of living increases, as well as any major additions to courses.
No Early Bird Sales If the workshop/course speaks to you, I trust you will take action and purchase. No one should be scared, pushed or even nudged to make a purchase.
Grandfather Clause
Those who purchase a course are "Grandfathered" in to the course and all future updates, without any additional charge. Courses are updated regularly with additional lessons, content and videos.
Special Offers for Course Bundles
You never need to wait for a special occasion, holiday or promotional event to get the best available price. The price you see is the price I intend to offer consistently.
Some courses are designed to complement one another or follow a natural progression. When purchased together, they may be offered as a bundle at a combined price that reflects the opportunity to participate in the complete learning experience.
These are structured learning opportunities rather than temporary sales or promotional discounts.
Example:
The Free Intro to Imagery with the follow up courses for Fall and Winter based.
Flexible Payment Options
I have been so very blessed in a lot of my studies, where people knew the timing was right for me to take a course and yet I was unable to pay full price in a single payment.
I am thrilled to "Pay it Forward" for any and all who wish to take a course, but need to have the opportunity to have a payment plan in order to do so.
If you are otherwise ready to go ahead and take the course/workshop, please reach out. I'd much rather have a conversation than have you assume something is beyond your reach.

Scholarships and Opportunities to Give Back
Scholarships
I believe that access to learning and personal growth should not be determined solely by someone's financial circumstances.
As Radiant grows, I want to create more opportunities for others to participate in that growth.
A portion of every purchase will be allocated to the Radiant Scholarship Fund, helping make courses, workshops and learning opportunities accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to participate.
Scholarship applications and nominations will be considered based on available funds and individual circumstances.
Every time you invest in your own learning, you also help create an opportunity for someone else. Teachers, studio owners and members of the Radiant community are welcome to nominate individuals who would benefit from a scholarship, either partial or full.
Pay it Forward
At check-out, there will be an option to fully sponsor a specific person to take the same course. This can be a fellow colleague you know may not be in a position to purchase for themselves or a young teacher you may be mentoring or a keen student who may need a boost.
Alternatively, you can contribute any amount to the Radiant Scholarship Fund, helping create opportunities for others to participate in programmes they might otherwise be unable to afford.
Affiliate Opportunities and Referral Fees
My goal with all things in my business is to help support positive change across the globe. And of course, I cannot do it alone.
If you took a course and believe that a fellow colleague would really enjoy it also, or perhaps a class of your students would benefit from the student version, then you are helping to further the goal of supporting more and more teachers/students.
And as thanks for the effort required to share this work, you will receive a referral fee (like a commission) and/or we can set up an ongoing affiliate code.
Thanks to using the hosting platform of Kajabi this is something that can easily be set up.
Sharing something you genuinely value can create opportunities for others while also providing you with a financial benefit. It's another way of participating in the growth of the Radiant community.
Partnerships and Recommendations
The Radiant Dancer also occasionally partners with businesses and organizations whose products, services and values align with our work.
When we recommend a product or service through an affiliate or referral arrangement, this will always be clearly identified. These partnerships help support the continued development of The Radiant Dancer while allowing us to share resources we genuinely believe may benefit our community.
Visionary Studio Owner Programme
Through this programme, studio owners can offer selected Radiant learning experiences to their teachers, students and families while creating an additional revenue stream for their studio.
The programme is designed to support the studio's educational offering while allowing you to benefit financially from providing valuable learning opportunities to your community.
Each studio partnership is structured according to the needs and goals of the studio.
Here is the link to a page dedicated to that programme. Please reach out for a zoom meeting to discuss how to set it up best for your studio.

A Business Built on Reciprocity
I believe business can be about more than transactions. It can be about creating opportunities, sharing knowledge, supporting growth and contributing to something bigger than ourselves.
My intention is to build Radiant in a way that allows everyone involved to benefit: those who participate in the learning, those who share the work, those who support others, and those who help bring new opportunities into existence.
When we create conditions for one another to thrive, we all benefit.
