How much does it cost

HealingWorks charges a low, sliding-scale administrative
fee to arrange a workshop at your agency’s site. We are able to
keep our administrative fees so low because our volunteers are providing
the workshop free of charge—the administrative fee is simply to
allow us to partially cover the costs of coordinating the workshop.
The sliding scale is based on your agency’s budget. Prices are

What if I want a custom-designed
workshop for my group but I don’t have space at my agency?
If your agency doesn’t have adequate space for
the type of workshop you’d like to schedule, HealingWorks can arrange
for your agency to rent space here at our Wellness Center. This option
might be especially appealing if the workshop you’d like to schedule
(e.g. certain types of yoga or movement therapy) requires mats, pillows,
or other props that we have available here at our space.
Can I experience a sample
HealingWorks workshop before I arrange
one for my staff?
Sure! The free Wellness Days we offer here at our
Wellness Center in Manhattan are a good way to experience the types
of workshops available to caregivers. Click

prefer, you can attend one of our free classes open to the general public.
