A Guide to Working with our Sliding Scale
Most of Lama’s fees are offered on a sliding scale. We recognize that this can sometimes be confusing. So in an effort to make things a bit more clear, we’ve adapted this scale from Alexis J. Cunningfolk, although in reality, it is more of a self-reflective tool. The intention is to help you discern where you land within our sliding scale. And of course, this is just a suggestion. Ultimately we trust your discernment in deciding how much to contribute within the scale.
