Supportive Access

This access is for those with the personal and/or professional financial resources who can pay a fair value for the experience and have a desire to support access for others to help rebalance systemic inequity.

 

 

Sponsored Access

This access is for those with limited financial resources who will benefit from access supplemented by a supportive community. This is our subsidized price intended for those in need of deeper financial assistance, who have historically been underrepresented in the field or who support those who are underrepresented. Historically marginalized groups may include such characteristics as race, ethnicity, geography, gender, age, religion, ability and sexual orientation.

Process of Registration

We want you to have full view of the process of Registration with us, so here is an outline of what to expect:

  • Once your registration fee is paid, either in 1 Pay full OR for the first month with subscription commitment set up for the balancing 11 months of payments in 12 Pay Plan via PayPal (done by clicking the Pay Now buttons above that will only show when Registration is open), you’ll land on our Registration Form page.
  • You’ll need to fully fill this Form out AND read it with attention as it will include your Program Agreement.
  • There will be a space on this Registration Form for your electronic signature which will be required in order for you to submit the completed Form.
  • Once both the payment AND the electronic signature are confirmed on our admin end, you’ll get an invitation from us via the Ruzuku platform, sent to the email address you provided on your Registration Form, in order to join the online classroom for your session.
  • After accepting the invitation to your classroom, you’ll have access to the materials for the Welcome & Logistics module to get you started right away.
  • The balance of the course content and live Zooms then drip feed to you throughout the 12 months of your session, starting in whichever session you signed up for, either March for Spring session or September for Fall session.
  • If you have any questions OR the process doesn’t go as outlined above, please email us immediately at admin (at) creativegriefstudio (dot) com or text Kara at 928-225-5416 (please ID yourself as a CGS course applicant so she knows who your are), and we’ll help you sort through the process together!
  • Money Back Policy: We’re really proud of the course we’ve put together and we know you won’t be disappointed with the quality or delivery of the content. We’ve also worked really hard to convey the values of this course so that anyone who registers will be a good fit with our course’s core values. (Please see all the information in this Certification section of our site to get a full feel for what this course will bring you). For these reasons, tuition payments are non-refundable. We cannot stop you from cancelling current or future payments, but if you do, you also cancel access to your online classroom, live sessions with us, and your option to be certified.

In reviewing the course one year later, I have an even deeper appreciation for how beautifully crafted and well designed the program is…

The instructors, the curriculum, the readings and the continual alumni updates have empowered me to offer grief support groups in my community and have given me the courage to use expressive arts with people who seek my help.
