PROGRAM COSTS
Total cost of food and lodging is $230 for camping and $390 for indoor lodging.
In addition to food and lodging, a suggested financial gift for the program of $150 or more is appreciated to honor our effort in providing the program, but it is not required. We only ask that you consider what you are able to offer, perhaps what might be a reasonable stretch for you, but we do not want you to burden yourself financially. We really want you to join us if at all possible. We'll appreciate whatever gift, if any, you would like to offer once the program is complete.
If you are not able to pay in full for food and lodging when registering, a deposit of $100 is requested to hold your space and to help with the upfront cost of food. Balance of payment is due upon arrival. If registration is cancelled prior to July 1st, payments will be refunded in full; cancellation thereafter will result in a $50 fee.
Hummingbird Living School operates as a non-profit 501c3 through Global Family. As such, your additional voluntary donation will go toward our Mission to provide educational programs that support conscious evolution, loving relationships, regenerative living, new economics, health and well being.
Additionally, you may consider becoming part of the Hummingbird Dream Team—that is, persons who pledge monthly donations to the Hummingbird Living School--according to your guidance.

LOCATION AND TRANSPORTATION
Hummingbird is located about halfway between Taos and Las Vegas New Mexico. Exact directions will be emailed upon registration.
If flying into Albuquerque, we suggest you plan your flight to arrive no later thatn noon on Wednesday and depart no earlier than 5 on Sunday.
Participants who are coming from Albuquerque have the option of renting a car or taking the Amtrak train to and from Las Vegas, where Hummingbird will arrange to pick you up and/or drop you off, for which we ask a contribution of $20.
Participants are encouraged to carpool if possible. We will gladly help participants who are coming from the same location get touch with each other. (i.e. Albuquerque and Boulder/Denver)
EXTENDED STAY
Toward the end of the program, we will ask to hear from those who would like to stay on for a day or two for any of the reasons stated. Food services will not be provided for extended stay; we will co-create shopping and meals as necessary. Participants are asked to pay for lodging at the rate of $20 per night for camping and $60 per night for indoor lodging and to consider offering additional financial contribution in support of Hummingbird Living School according to your guidance.
An exciting possibility that we are exploring is to develop an online and phone based course that might also include short immersion experiences to share key components of our co-creative culture.
This could have many benefits:
- Help those considering Hummingbird in their future to more actively build a bridge to the residential community.
- Support participants to be more empowered in bringing thier values into harmony with their lifestyle.
- Deepen the sense of connectedness with others who are actively cultivating a new way of life as a dailiy practice.
- Co-creating the New World is for those who are called to lead the way in bringing forth a new world as an integrated part of their life path.
