About this experience

ROCK MAMA STUDIO

A Space for Your Spirit to Soar

Our vision: We envision a sacred space that nurtures connection to spirit, creativity, authentic expression, personal discovery, and soul-inspired play. We see a place where people can gather and explore new interests and deepen their skills in long held passions. We want to create a beautiful and peaceful place that becomes a stable resource to the community. 

 We are excited to invite and partner with talented teachers and practitioners across a vibrant spectrum of interests that are in alignment with the metaphysical and spiritual foundations of Rock Mama Gallery. Our beautiful studio space offers 1,400 square feet of classroom/studio space perfect for meditation, art, tarot, astrology, drum making, and a myriad of other potential offerings.

If you can see yourself sharing your passions in our beautiful, high-vibration space, please send an email to  Chris@RockMama.com with a bit of information about your offering, background, and experience. We will be in touch as soon as we can and ask for your patience as we get this new endeavor off the ground.

Opening a community space like this has been a closely held vision and dream for many years, we want to ensure that it remains open and available as a learning space for the community for the long term. To do that it must be sustainable and financially sound. At the same time, we understand that teachers must be compensated fairly for their time and expertise. Thus, we have put a lot of careful thought into a payment structure for renting the space that supports this balance.

Studio Rental Rates:

Weekday Events
• $50/hour
• 3-hour minimum

Weekend Events
• $60/hour
• 4-hour minimum
• Available time blocks: 10:00am–2:00pm and/or 2:00pm–6:00pm
• Longer days may be booked with a 6-hour minimum (up to 8 hours; longer events by approval)

If you’re planning an extended workshop or multi-day offering, please reach out — we’re happy to discuss discounted rates for longer bookings.

This reflects a $5/hour increase, the first adjustment we’ve made since opening four years ago, and one we’ve approached with care and intention.

New 6% Administrative & Processing Fee

Beginning in 2026, we will also be adding a 6% fee on class tuition fees collected by Rock Mama on your behalf. This helps cover:

• Credit card processing fees
• Bookkeeping and reconciliation
• Staff time spent managing registrations, payouts, space set-up, and communication

Up until now, we have absorbed these costs ourselves. As the studio has grown, this is no longer sustainable, but we want to be transparent about why this change is necessary.

Teachers are always welcome to take reservations and collect class fees directly, in which case the 5% administrative fee does not apply. You are also welcome to use outside booking platforms such as Eventbrite or other ticketing services. We encourage you to choose the system that best supports your workflow and visibility.

Class Cancellations

Because last-minute cancellations impact the availability and sustainability of the studio, classes cancelled within two weeks of the scheduled class date will be charged 50% of the studio rental fee. This helps offset the loss of time that could otherwise have been booked by another offering.

Below are two examples of how this payment structure might work.

Weekend Class Example (charging $100 per person):

10 attendees @ 100ea                         =$1000

4 hours rental fee @ 50/hr                  = -$200

6% administrative & processing fee   = -$60

Teacher’s earnings                              =  $740

Weekday Class Example (charging $40 per person):

12 attendees @ $40                         =  $480

3 hours rental fee@$40/hr              = -$120

6% administrative & processing fee   = -$28.80

Teacher’s earnings                          =  $331.20

To book an event, we do require a credit card on file for the following securities:

Cleaning: Your rental hours must include the time you need for all set-up, tear-down, and cleaning of the space so that it is left in the same condition you found it, including sweeping, furniture placement, dishes and kitchen cleaned, bathroom clean, garbage emptied, etc.

So far, our teachers have been considerate and never needed to pay a cleaning fee. But should we need to cover these tasks with our employee time, you will be charged $100 an hour.

Class Cancellations: It is the responsibility of our teachers to advertise their classes and bring in students. If you're just starting out, and don't have an established following, your first classes may be super small. We ask that classes with 3 or more sign-ups not be cancelled. We will do our best to communicate about how sign ups are going to determine if we need to try cancelling and rescheduling.  

Teachers are responsible to provide all class supplies, or have students bring their own.

Our learning community is still in the growing stages as our customers discover our classes.

Teachers are responsible for promoting thier classes, our efforts alone are not enough to fill your class! 

We will list the information for your class on this website. We display information about your classes in our store but you will need to bring in flyers (and it is highly recommended that you spread those flyers in other places your potential class goers might visit). We create a Calendar list of classes available to our customers and we send our email blasts about classes approximately every two weeks. 

Don't forget to share all of your social media and website information too. Teaching in our space is a way to grow your business and share your passions.

We are looking forward to meeting you and learning about your offerings. We hope Rock Mama Studio can seed light and love in the Sacramento community for many years to come.

Bright Blessings,

Suzanne and Toni
