WE ARE THE ONES WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’M EXCITED ABOUT THIS COURSE, BUT I’M JUST GETTING STARTED IN BUSINESS AND STILL TRYING TO PAY MY MONTHLY BILLS. IS THIS MASTERCLASS RIGHT FOR ME?
No. This masterclass is designed for experienced and established entrepreneurs, executives, and nonprofit administrators. This course does not address business launch, growth, or development. This masterclass is for leaders who are have a sustainable business/org/profession and want tools, strategies, and perspectives to help them work with more purpose, care, and efficacy in this political moment.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY “THIS POLITICAL MOMENT”?
This course is written specifically to address the needs of feminist leaders in the United States who are grappling with the rapid rise of autocracy and the dismantling of the state.
I DO NOT LIVE IN THE U.S., CAN I ENROLL?
Yes. If you are also feeling unmoored and overwhelmed by the politics in your region and want the leadership support of this masterclass, you are welcomed to enroll.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY “FEMINIST”? DO I NEED TO BE A FEMINIST TO PARTICIPATE?
The feminism we teach here at Sister is rooted in feminist theory, scholarship, spirituality, and art. We believe in the tenets of intersectional feminism. We endeavor to topple the patriarchy, internally and externally. Our feminism is antiracist, trans-inclusive, earth-loving, healing-oriented, genderqueer, pro-Palestine, against antisemitism, deeply mystical, unapologetically intellectual, wildly creative, and critical of capitalism.
You do not need to call yourself a feminist to participate in our courses. However, we will not be spending any time debating the merits of feminism. If you are skeptical, critical, or dismissive of feminism or feminists, you’re probably in the wrong place.
I'M NOT AN ENTREPRENEUR, EXECUTIVE, NON-PROFIT DIRECTOR, OR ADMINISTRATOR, BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THESE IDEAS. CAN I JOIN YOU?
Please email me with more information about your interest in the course before enrolling.
I WANT TO SIGN UP FOR THIS MASTERCLASS BUT I'M BUSY. HOW MUCH TIME DOES THIS INVOLVE? DO I NEED TO ATTEND ALL THE VIDEO CALLS?
I get it. There’s a lot going on. That’s why this masterclass is centered around 6 live co-lab workshops. The bulk of the course will happen in real time in those calls. All of the videos will be recorded and posted to the masterclass website, along with a transcript, within 24 hours.
If you plan to participate asynchronously (either because you are in an inconvenient time zone, or because you prefer to study alone), you can watch the recordings and do the activities in your own time. You will have access to all of the course materials and recordings for 6 months.
There is a light-weight curriculum, including supplementary readings and resources to help you get the most out of the co-labs. There will be less than an hour of reading for each co-lab. The co-labs will be accompanied by worksheets or homework assignments with more in-depth activities. These could take 30 minutes to several hours, depending on your depth of engagement. These can be done at the pace of the course or completed in your own time.
The embodied support sessions are optional.
WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE FOR THE LIVE VIDEOS?
All video sessions take place on Wednesdays and begin at 1:30 p.m. PDT (Los Angeles time zone). Most of the co-lab workshops are 90 minutes. HOWEVER, the first co-lab is 2 hours long, to give us time for personal introductions. The final co-lab—our community teach-in—may run as long as 3 hours, depending on the number of participants.
The embodied support sessions last 60 minutes.

ARE THERE ANY PRE-REQUISITES?
Yes, this masterclass draws from the ideas in my new Feminist Flourishing Framework. You will need to read this before the first co-lab. The book is concise, it only takes about 2 hours to complete. If you don’t already own a copy, you can purchase one here.
International friends: you will want to place your book order immediately because of shipping times. This book is NOT available as an ebook.
WHAT APPS DOES THIS MASTERCLASS USE?
All of the course materials and community spaces (chatroom, discussion threads, directory, DMs) are hosted in a private community on Circle. Circle can be accessed in a web browser, as well as apps for iOS and Android.
The co-labs and embodied support sessions will take place on Zoom or Butter.
WHAT KIND OF INVOLVEMENT/SUPPORT DO YOU PROVIDE?
In addition to facilitating the live events and creating the curriculum, I’ll post occasional discussion prompts in the online community and monitor the chatroom for civility. I do not take phone calls or offer individualized feedback/support via email. If you need help or want to engage more deeply with materials, please bring your questions to the co-labs or embodied support sessions so that we can explore them together, as a group.
IF I DECIDE TO LEAVE/QUIT/ABANDON THIS COURSE FOR ANY REASON, WILL I GET MY MONEY BACK?
All sales are final. If you choose to pay by installment and you decide to quit or abandon the course, your card will continue to be charged until your enrollment fee has been paid in-full. If you cancel your card on-file, you will be invoiced for the balance due. I do not offer refunds.
If you want to ensure that this masterclass is right for you before making a commitment, email me or come to the free webinar at Noon PDT on April 30, 2025 where I will be hosting a Q&A about the course.
WHY IS THE INSTALLMENT PLAN MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE ONE-TIME PAYMENT?
When you pay in installments, your final cost is $50 more than if you pay all at once. This nominal cost covers the added labor and time involved in dealing with issues that can arise with recurring payments.
I PLAN TO SHARE THIS MATERIAL WITH MY BEST FRIEND, BUSINESS COLLEAGUES, AND LIFE PARTNER. THIS IS OKAY, RIGHT?
Sorry, but your enrollment is non-transferrable. All prices are per person, not per business, family, or friend group. If you have registered with the intention of sharing this masterclass with someone who is not enrolled, they will need to pay the full enrollment fee in order to access and use these materials. Any accounts that are shared or logged into by users other than the enrolled participant will be terminated without refund.
DO YOU OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS?
Not at this time. While I have offered scholarships in the past, this product is designed for people who are running a sustainable business or organization. Please consider the installment plan, if you need a flexible payment option. This course is tax-deductible as a business expense.
I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS.
