Scholarship & Access

A limited number of partial, need-based scholarships are available per cohort to ensure the work remains sustainable. Scholarships typically range from 10–30% off tuition and are prioritized for:

  • Participants from regions with lower income parity

  • Those working in community-based, educational, or access-focused settings with limited institutional funding

  • Longtime Abre Tu Boca participants demonstrating commitment and integrity

These boundaries allow scholarship support to continue without compromising the sustainability of the program.

Refund & Cancellation Policy

The deposit is non-refundable and confirms your seat.

If participation becomes impossible before the training begins, tuition paid may be applied once to a future cohort within the same year. Requests must be made in writing prior to the start date.

No refunds or transfers are available once the training has begun.

Application

Practice & Facilitation Pathways

The application helps us understand: why you’re being called to the Method at this moment; how you relate to voice, writing, and perception; whether this training is the right container for you now.

A Note on Integrity

Abre Tu Boca is rooted in listening, consent, and care.

Admission is based on alignment, readiness, and your capacity to be in honest relationship with your own voice and with others—not on credentials, literary background, or performance.

Whether you are entering as a practitioner, a future facilitator, or still discerning your path, this training asks for presence, humility, and a willingness to meet the work deeply. The integrity of the cohort depends on each person’s commitment to that level of attention and care.

Thank you for taking the time to apply and for the intention you are bringing into this process.
