Choose Your Price

May 29, 2024 / Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

Dear Readers:

You are the first to be informed about a (kinda) new pricing strategy I am embracing as we continue to move through the de-evolution of the systems built on fear, power, and control, and prepare ourselves (if not outside of us, at least within us) for the AGE OF LOVE.

Trust me, I cling to no illusions about the world “out there” changing, but we can continue to hope as we continue our own efforts of being more and more the true embodiment of love, peace, and compassion in our world.

As the systems around us continue to collapse, I am increasingly aware of the fragile nature of our financial systems. Whether we call it end-stage capitalism, corporate greed, or inflation, too many people are struggling financially – many just to keep a roof over their head (and far too many are homeless). It has always been my goal to make my offerings affordable, and for years have offered my courses and services at a discounted rate for many and even free for those who truly cannot afford them.

I’m also deeply aware of the needs of Generations Y, Z and Alpha. Unless they are one of the rare few who enjoy the benefits of generational wealth, they are screwed. Most will never own a home. Many are struggling under crippling student loan debt. Few are able to secure a salary commensurate with their education and experience.

Then there’s the elder Gen X’s (like myself). God bless them if they are looking for a job due to lay off, hardship, or having taken a break to have children or care for aging parents. Just – GOD BLESS THEM. Contrary to what the media wants us to believe: THE JOB MARKET SUCKS. LINKED IN IS TRASH. Nobody is interested in hiring an over-qualified, highly experienced and educated person over 45.

With all this in mind, I’m trying to make it easier for people to pay what they are able without having to take the terrifying step of ASKING ME FOR HELP! (I’m really not that scary, and I’m almost always willing to help, but it’s hard to ask for financial support from anyone – I know. I’ve been there!).

I have done two things to make this easier:
1) I have added “Choose Your Price” options to many of my online courses and training programs – focusing my attention on my core courses and those that have historically required a significant investment due to the sheer volume of content.
2) I have plastered “Pay What You’re Able” all over my website.

You will also notice:
1) Many of my online course descriptions NOW INCLUDE a FREE sample lesson from that course. My hope is that this makes it easier for people to decide if the course is for them (or if I am for them as a teacher).
2) My new “Choose Your Price” logo. If you feel so inclined, it would be really helpful to me if you can share this image on your social media pages! Let’s work together to let people know that great content is available for them at a price they can afford.

Finally: a little secret that some of you know. With my office manager position with the ballet studio, my own work (classes and seeing clients) is not longer my primary form of income. This takes A LOT of the pressure off my shoulders to “make money,” thus freeing me to be even more flexible with pricing and more trusting that all my needs will be met as I help to support other people’s needs.

If it’s been awhile since you’ve looked at my courses, please do so! Click HERE to see all my course listings. Click on the image of the course that speaks to you and that will take you to the sales page which includes full course description, outline, pricing, and for many, a FREE sample lesson.

Thank you for your ongoing support of this work and for continuing to be your own unique force of LOVE on this planet!

With love,

Official Relaunch of Soul School!

November 20, 2022 / Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

Since 2015 Authentic Freedom Academy and Soul School have been housed within another entity. Effective TODAY we are on our own independent platform with Ruzuku. This it the fulfillment of a dream long in the making.

First I want to thank all of you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding as I have undertaken the arduous work of migrating all current and former students to the new platform. Ruzuku made this work easy, and there were still things I had to do to complete the migration. The migration is now complete and invitations have been sent out to all students who have enrolled since 2020, inviting them to the new platform and to all who have been part of either the Magdalene Priesthood or Order of Melchizedek trainings. If you have any questions about the migration to the new platform, please email me at lauri@lauriannlumby.com. I’m happy to help!

Second, I invite you all to check out our updated website! Please watch the welcome video:

and then check out all of our course offerings. A few old courses have been resurrected and several new courses have been added.

Now and always, I look forward to continuing to offer classes, and services in support of human development, toward the goal of self-actualization. I’m grateful for your presence here and for the honor to accompany and support you in your own journey of the unfolding of your Soul!

With gratitude and love,

Back to School

August 29, 2022August 28, 2022 / Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

Now what will you be doing for yourself?

It’s the time of year when our thoughts have turned to Back to School. Whether we are sending our own children back to school, returning ourselves, or if you are like me and your bio-rhythms are automatically set to an academic clock, SCHOOL is foremost on our mind. Our summer fun is winding down. It’s time to start thinking about closing up the cabin and thinking of winter things. Whether I think of it as back to school, or simply the approach of autumn and winter, this is my favorite time of year – a time of putting things to an end while also anticipating something new. It’s not a coincidence that my children were both born in the fall! I birth new things in the fall!

With the summer activities drawing to a close, and hygge season fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about ourselves. Specifically:

What are the things I can do for myself now that will provide a sense of nourishment, knowledge, guidance, sustenance and support?

What new explorations might I want to engage in?

How can I begin to feed not only my body, but my mind, and spirit as well?

These are the questions that Soul School is meant to help you answer. Not by giving you the answers (what fun is that?), but by providing the means by which you can discover the answer to these questions yourself. Toward that end, please check out all we have to offer in the way of online courses and trainings, one-off lessons, one-on-one mentoring and support, community gatherings, books, writings, and more.

I look forward to being a source of support for you as you embark upon your own “back to school” adventure – one that this time is just for yourself!
