Private Sessions, Legacy Pricing & Current Direction

Canonical framing for questions about private sessions, one-on-one work, and the older “Basic / Cyclical / Deep” practice platform pricing. First articulated in a reply to Marta’s forum question on the Session 3 summary (2026-04-20).

Origin of the Question

Section titled “Origin of the Question”

Prospective and current participants sometimes reference “individualized support” that appeared on the original practice platform pricing page, or ask whether private sessions are available. The framing below is how we respond, and why.

The Legacy 2021 Pricing Structure

Section titled “The Legacy 2021 Pricing Structure”

When practice.baseworks.com launched in 2021, it ran as a standalone subscription for people already familiar with the method, with three tiers:

  • Basic — Foundation only (20 USD/m)
  • Cyclical — Foundation + Elements (32 USD/m)
  • Deep — Foundation + Elements + Baseworks Meta + individualized support (48 USD/m)

“Individualized support” in that context meant written correspondence with an instructor around the online material, not private in-person sessions. That structure isn’t active for anyone onboarding from this point forward. Platform subscriptions are being refactored alongside the broader development across our materials and how each offering maps to the specific programs we now run (Primer, study groups, and what follows from them).

Older descriptions that still surface in public-facing materials do not reflect what’s currently in place.

Current Stance on Private Sessions and Bespoke Work

Section titled “Current Stance on Private Sessions and Bespoke Work”

Small-group and custom-designed programs exist — but at a different level

Section titled “Small-group and custom-designed programs exist — but at a different level”

We do run small-group and custom-designed programs, but those sit at a corporate or institutional level, where the scope and budget make that kind of bespoke work viable. This is not the offering for individual practitioners inquiring about one-on-one attention.

Private sessions for individuals — not ruled out, but not recommended

Section titled “Private sessions for individuals — not ruled out, but not recommended”

Private sessions aren’t ruled out in principle. At the rates we would need to charge for them, we’d always point people back to the current structures first. The reason isn’t purely economic:

  • The current structures are more accessible
  • They encourage the thing that sits at the center of what we’re building: interaction across the community itself, not only between participants and instructors
  • That exchange is part of the broader educational and research-based direction we’re working toward

Why community-first isn’t just a pricing argument

Section titled “Why community-first isn’t just a pricing argument”

The pedagogical reasoning ties directly to NODAA and the Key Teaching Principles page. Over-reliance on hands-on / individualized feedback can short-circuit the sensory learning the practice is designed to develop. The individualized component inside a study group (personalized feedback within sessions, the Q&A block, written exchanges like forum threads) already covers what most individuals benefit from, without displacing the community dynamic.

How to Use This Framing

Section titled “How to Use This Framing”

When the question comes up:

  1. Acknowledge the older reference if the person is citing legacy platform content — don’t dismiss it. The page did say what they remember.
  2. Name what “individualized support” actually meant in 2021 (written correspondence around online material), so expectations reset cleanly.
  3. State the refactor directly — the 2021 plan structure isn’t available to new onboardings.
  4. Distinguish the corporate/institutional track from individual practitioner requests. The former exists; the latter gets pointed back to community-facing formats.
  5. Frame community-first as a choice, not a constraint — interaction across the community is part of what we’re building, not a downgrade from one-on-one.
