About our Sliding Scale Program:

In order to offer access to all who are called to this experience, we use a sliding scale system for the exchange. We trust you to evaluate your economic situation and determine the most equitable exchange for your circumstances. Some guidelines to consider when choosing your exchange:

• Higher exchange (444/600+) covers all costs, direct and operational, allows for further investment in the church, and subsidizes those without the discretionary income to afford standard tickets. If retreat costs are rarely a concern and discretionary spending is abundant, you may consider offering a higher exchange.
• The middle way (333/450) reflects the true cost of the event. Those with discretionary income generally fall in this range.
• The lower cost (222/300) helps cover the cost of the retreat, but not all expenses. Those with limited discretionary spending may fall in this range.

When the lower tier is an obstacle to attending a ceremony, we will work with folks to offer extended payment plans, work exchange, lower ticket prices, and other solutions. If you need additional assistance please reach out to info@somossanctuary.org or (929) 333-4850 so that we can address your particular situation.

Lead Facilitator 

Maya Martinez, founder of Somos Sanctuary, was raised in both Colombia and New York City, and has been on a life-long journey studying with indigenous teachers from Colombia, Mexico, the United States, and Brazil, where she was given the name Sakakatwa ‘Rainbow,’ by her family of the Fulniô Tribe. As a dedicated student, she continuously deepens her studies with the sacraments, and has learned many traditional ceremonial practices that help raise the vibration of the planet. It is with great honor, permission, and care, that she shares the weavings of this knowledge with those who are ready to answer the call and receive the wisdom and downloads that come.

Accesibility & Inclusion

We are committed to making this work safe and accessible to all people that are called to join, and to maintaining a community culture safe from racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.

We reserve spaces in our circle for queer BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and offer scholarship to ensure access.

Currently, the space we work in has a flight of stairs to gain entrance and no elevator. It should be noted the burning of dried herbs at different moments throughout the ceremony is expected.  Please share with us any access needs you have that would enable you to join us, and we will do anything we can to meet these needs!

Thank you, we are looking forward to sharing this weekend with you!
