Dearest friends,
There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes at The Radical Embrace, and we’re excited to share some updates—with more on the way.
There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes at The Radical Embrace, and we’re excited to share some updates—with more on the way.
Natalie, our new Operations Manager, has hit the ground running.
She’s been quietly working in the background to put new systems and processes in place—helping us meet the growing demand, reduce admin, and free up time so I can focus on expanding our offerings and developing new projects.
As part of this growth, we’re streamlining how we handle communications, payments, and background admin to make everything run more smoothly—for us and for you.
Some of the changes you might notice:
Course registration will now happen via our website instead of Zoom.
Deposit payments will be processed exclusively through Stripe. We’ve also had to raise the suggested Dana here to help us meet the rising costs that come with growth.
A new student portal is coming soon for some online courses—this is where you’ll find all your recordings and resources in one place.
Tiered subscriptions for Earth Touching Tuesdays will give you access to session recordings and four 1:1 meditation reviews with Singhasri throughout the year. (Pay-as-you-go will still be available.)
As with any change, there may be a few bumps along the way. Your feedback is so appreciated as we make these transitions—we want to make sure what we’re building works well for you.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We’re really looking forward to what’s emerging next for The Radical Embrace.
