s** Discussion re: $ - compare to congolese - Isaura makes ~$450/class, what should omni get?

    • General consensus maybe $100 - other places like Malonga Center are smaller - they charge $30-$50hr

    • Need to address / agree on rules for the treatment room (no incense, candles, keep clean, etc)
  • Kommunity FK - offline it Don & DK
    • Folks with concern about unequal distro of power - comes from people not stepping up to do work but asking others to intervene, take car of community issues - were all in the community we should all take care of space, then power is distributed equally Q.E.D.
