And if you read the addendum to her course, it says that if you can't afford it to email her and describe your circumstance. So it sounds like they'll either give it to you for free or reduce the price.
There's a difference between someone selling a package of information that is the culmination of their life understanding, and someone like the absurd Ashayana Deane, who claims to have information we absolutely need for ascension but charges for it.
What a 'spiritual teacher' is saying when they charge for something they put together is "I spent years and years of my life accumulating a bookshelf worth of books, going on retreats, going to seminars, traveling to other countries, paying for adept training, etc. etc. You don't have to spend the $15,000 I've spent on all of that. I've accumulated everything I know into this package. Buy it if you want, and here's a bunch of other stuff for free." I see nothing wrong with that.
People often forget that before the internet especially, anything you wanted to know had to be paid for because you had to buy a book or go to a seminar. Those of today that have esoteric knowledge paid a higher due than we ever will, and by culminating their life's work into something they can survive off of, they're actually doing the rest of us a favor in return.
