Classroom

From EcoReality

EcoReality's property has a building which has a garage, a barn/carport type building and in between is a classroom/studio space that has hardwood floors, electric heat, 2 entrances and a storage room.

This classroom was built by the Kincaid family in about 2002. The Kincaid's were Qi Gong students themselves and created the space for their Qi Gong group Jingui Golden Shield Qi Gong.

Jingui Golden Shield Qi Gong Has been in the classroom since 2002 and now rents the classroom from EcoReality. One of their instructors Rudy Hexter also Teaches Capoeira in the classroom space. Shannon Cowan is teaching yoga in the classroom and Jan Steinman will be offering a photography class as a Salt Spring Community Education class in October and November 2008.

The classroom is Vested by Jan and Carol. Meaning they are responsible for the expenses in up-keeping the space and receive revenue that the classroom generates.

A rental structure for the classroom was agreed upon by co-op members:

• The rental rate for the classroom is:
  • $10 per hour (minimum).
  • Or 25% of revenue (maximum).
• The capacity is about 40 (seated) or 20 (for motion-based work).

This rental rate is for events or classes which do not require promotion or logistics work by EcoReality. Workshops, classes or presnetations where EcoReality is a partner or does all of the logistics and marketing will be negotiated on a case by case basis with the presenters/partners.

Special considerations and different rental structures have been given to Shannon Cowan. See Minutes:20080905 for more information.

Classroom inquiries can be directed to James Cowan at 250-653-4663 or via email.

Due to liability reasons the classroom is not available for the public to rent. EcoReality can use the classroom for agricultural education purposes or can rent to a third party that has an insurance policy and can name EcoReality on that policy.
