The application

Apply to the founding circle

Chaya reads every application herself, and answers every one, in writing. Take your time with the sample. It matters more than anything else on this page.

Your name

Where you live

Province and country. The founding circle is Canadian; readers elsewhere join the waitlist.

Ethics, second question

Hours a week you could give a practice

Computers and you

Why the Kumpania?

A few honest sentences. Skip the flattery.
