Supporting you to make meditation a natural part of your life.

Our course investment is not simply for the four days of learning Vedic Meditation. It supports an ongoing relationship with your teacher and a lifetime of opportunities to practise, deepen and receive support as your meditation becomes a natural part of your life.

The work of a teacher continues long after a course ends, through ongoing guidance, community meditations, checking sessions, teachings and the continued sharing of knowledge. Our course investment recognises and sustains this lifelong work, while we also recognise that people come to this teaching with different circumstances and levels of financial access.

Lifetime support

Your investment is an offering towards the course, the ongoing support of your teacher, and the lifelong relationship that follows.

  • 4-session Vedic meditation course + optional private 5th session follow-up. All taught in-person only.

  • Ability to re-sit the course again for free with Victoria or any affiliated Vedic meditation teacher worldwide.

  • Free group meditation + wisdom sessions (online weekly via the Mahasoma community)

  • Free private check-in sessions whenever needed to check technique.

  • 2 years of emails to support, inspire and track your journey.

  • A personal Vedic meditation teacher for life.

Everyone is welcome to learn and will not be turned away, no matter your financial circumstance. 

This sliding scale is designed to meet you wherever you are at in life and help determine which contribution is the best fit to your current financial privilege.

For a sliding scale to work, it relies on truthfulness, mutual honesty and accountability.

Victoria uses a tiered pricing structure known as the green bottle method, to ensure greater equity and diversity for those wishing to learn Vedic meditation.

  • The standard cost for the 4-day course.

    This option is for me (or us if supported by partner, parents, family etc.) if:

    • I am able to meet all of my basic needs (e.g. food, housing, transport)

    • I may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of my basic needs

    • I own my own home OR I rent a comfortable property OR I live at home and don’t have to pay rent

    • I own or lease a car

    • I am employed (or don’t need to work to meet my needs)

    • I have access to healthcare options (e.g. acupuncture, naturopathy, osteopathy) to support my wellbeing

    • I have access to financial savings

    • I have an expendable income (e.g. can buy coffee or eat out, buy new clothes, concert tickets, massages etc.)

    • I can buy new items if needed

    • I can afford an annual holiday or take time off

  • This our concession, pensioner, full-time student and NDIS card option and/or for those whose current life circumstances means they need some support in learning to meditate, and don’t have family, partner, or friends who they can ask for financial support.

    The subsidised option is for me (or us if supported by partner, parents, family etc.) if:

    • I am able to meet all my basic needs (e.g. food, housing, transport) but have daily stress about it

    • I may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of my basic needs

    • I rent a room or home at the lower end of the market

    • I own or lease a car but may not always be able to afford petrol

    • I am employed part-time OR studying with government financial support OR I have retired and have a pension to support my living expenses

    • I have access to Medicare and can occasionally see other healthcare practitioners (e.g. acupuncture, naturopathy, osteopathy) to support my wellbeing

    • I have under $2000 personal savings

    • I have some expendable income (e.g. to buy coffee or eat out) but it’s a stretch to buy new clothes, concert tickets, massages etc.

    • I am able to buy some new items but mainly buy secondhand

    • I can take a short holiday annually or every few years but it comes with some financial burden

  • The helping hand course investment is for those who are currently experiencing financial hardships, need a greater helping hand to learn to meditate, and don’t have family, partner, or friends they can ask for financial support. The helping hand option is our ‘base cost’ for the course.

    The helping hand option is for me (or us if supported by partner, parents, family etc.) if:

    • I have debt and it impacts me in meeting my basic needs

    • I am only just able to meet all my basic needs (e.g. food, housing, transport)

    • I own or lease a car but may not always be able to afford petrol, so I mostly use public transport

    • I am employed but my income goes towards supporting others and I am unable to save OR I have limited employment due to my health/personal circumstances

    • I only have access to Medicare to support my health and wellbeing (I can’t afford to see alternative healthcare practitioners or do mentoring or coaching)

    • I have less than $1000 savings

    • I have no or very limited expendable income (e.g. to buy coffee or eat out, new clothes, concert tickets, massages etc.)

    • I rarely buy new items because I am unable to afford them

    • I cannot afford a holiday or have the ability to take time off without financial burden

  • While a financial investment is preferred, we are open to accepting an exchange/trade of goods or services — whether it’s fresh organic produce, photography, sessions or any skills or services you can offer. Get in touch to see if this option is currently available.

Please read the full breakdown of the sliding scale before reflecting on your current circumstance. You might not say YES to every statement, but the option that has the most YES answers will be your contribution. If you are a dependent, or supported by your partner, parents, family etc. please answer the questions based on WE, rather than I.

Flexible weekly or monthly payment plans available for all options via GoCardless. Discounts available for partners or friends booking together into the same course. Please reach out to discuss when signing up.

**Cancellation Policy

Course bookings are refundable only up to 7 days prior to course starting date. Following this, all course bookings are non-refundable and only transferrable to any later course date.

Giving Back

As part of learning to meditate with Victoria, you are not only gifting yourself with a lifelong technique but also supporting local Australian and Indian charities/organisations so they can continue to give to those in need. A percentage of your course investment goes towards supporting a program of your choice.

“You are here not just for your family, but for the whole world. Perhaps you thought the world needed to take care of you, but in actual fact, you have the power to take care of the world” - Sri Sakthi Amma

  • We live and work on land that was forcibly taken from Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people. On this stolen land, systems & institutions have been built that are structured to exclude and oppress. Pay The Rent is a not-for-profit organisation which enables funds contributed by the community to go directly to grassroots causes and campaigns which focus on protecting First Nations rights and provide restitution of our occupation on stolen indigenous land.

  • Green Sakthi is an environmental program started by Sri Sakthi Amma in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.

    Sakthi (pronounced shakti) is a Sanskrit word that means feminine energy or power. 

    The programs reflect a concerted effort to green India by initiating massive tree-planting projects, as well as addressing waste management, recycling and environmental education amongst school children. Their various programs include the Tree Nursery and Donation program which employs men and women from neighbouring villages to grow over 100,000 saplings for donation and planting in local schools, hospitals, colleges and other organisations, the Green Sakthi Club which educates local school children in Vellore on the importance of taking care of the environment, and the EXNORA Zero Waste Management Program which collects more than two tons of waste a day for recyling and composting and employing over two hundred local rural workers.

    You can read more about their projects here.
