Conscious Girlfriend Academy Accessibility
Conscious Girlfriend Academy is committed to helping participants access our work both online and offline (in person.) We are open to taking additional steps to increase access, and welcome your requests, input and suggestions! Here are some of the steps we currently take to increase access for our members:
ONLINE:
• We make written class documents available in audio worksheet form. Captions are available for Zoom calls.
• If you are participating online and need additional help accessing our video, audio or written materials, you are welcome to invite an accessibility support person to join the class and group with you, at no cost.
RETREATS:
• We prioritize hosting retreats at wheelchair-accessible locations. However, because we must consider a variety of factors, including geographic and financial accessibility, not all retreat locations are optimally accessible for participants with physical mobility issues. We and our retreat hosts will gladly work with participants to try to accommodate your needs.
• Participants are welcome to attend a retreat with an attendant to help you with physical, visual, auditory or other access needs. Attendants will not be charged a retreat fee, but you will need to pay for their meals and lodging unless otherwise arranged.
• All of our retreat food services cater to people with a variety of food needs and limits, e.g. gluten-free, vegan, sugar-free, or vegetarian. Retreat attendees are encouraged to give us advance information about your needs and limits. You are also welcome to supplement the retreat meals with your own snacks.
• All of the retreat centers we use are mandated by law to allow registered service animals who assist participants with physical access (documentation required.) We regret that unless the retreat center generally allows animals, emotional support animals may not be allowed.
- For audio accessibility during retreats, we use a microphone and place the speaker near the participant(s) who need louder volume.
