NEW Launching August 2026 · Live on Zoom
Weekly office hours with Ali Sotoodeh · Adults 18+
A dependable place to return, reconnect, keep learning, and bring the real-life questions that surface after a program ends.
An office-hours kind of space
People often leave a facility after two weeks, two months, or six months and discover that real life brings new questions. The structure is gone. Familiar support is farther away. There may still be more to learn—or simply a need for a steady place to return.
Office Hours is Ali’s weekly, office-hours-style gathering: Ali is there at the same two times each week, ready to teach, listen, reflect, and make room for the challenges participants bring from everyday life.
Important: Office Hours is educational and community support. It is not psychotherapy, group therapy, clinical aftercare, case management, a facility program, or crisis care.

Teaching becomes more useful when there is room for questions, reflection, and the experience people actually bring with them.
Educational gathering · Not group therapyInside selected sessions
Some sessions will include a reading from a selected chapter or theme in Cleanse Your Lens of Perception, followed by an open discussion. The material can change from session to session, so each gathering stands on its own.
Participants may be among the first people to hear developing material and offer an early-reader perspective. Thoughtful reactions may help Ali notice what feels clear, what lands deeply, and what deserves further refinement before publication.
Participation does not promise access to every chapter, editorial control, authorship credit, or inclusion of any suggestion in the final manuscript.“Come with a question. Leave with another way to see it.”
Two ways into the room
Both are two-hour live Zoom gatherings. Join one weekly track, attend a single session, or choose both tracks for more continuity.
Come and go as you wish. You do not have to stay for the full two hours.Pacific Time · Every Tuesday
Pacific Time · Every Friday
Pacific Time (PT) automatically follows seasonal clock changes. Holiday and closure dates will be announced in advance whenever possible.
Simple ways to participate
Choose a participation option in the single registration form below. The plan, required acknowledgments, electronic signature, and Stripe payment are completed in that order.
$25 covers one available Tuesday or Friday date—not both weekly sessions.
Select this option ↘Monthly recurring access to either Tuesday or Friday—one weekly session.
Select this option ↘Monthly recurring access to both Tuesday and Friday—two weekly sessions.
Select this option ↘Every participant will complete the full participation agreement before payment. It will be part of the registration flow—not paperwork sent after someone has already purchased.
A private path into Zoom
Select one individual session, one session each week, or two sessions each week.
Individually acknowledge every participation, payment, attendance, privacy, and conduct term.
Type your full legal name and confirm that the signature acknowledges all listed rules and policies.
Continue to Stripe’s secure credit-card page only after the signed agreement is complete.
Why use both? The unique registration link identifies the paid attendee; the waiting room adds a second host-controlled check before anyone enters.
One complete checkout
Choose the plan, select the track, check every acknowledgment, sign the complete agreement, and then continue to the secure Stripe credit-card transaction. Nothing is separated or sent later.
This is the no-payment alternative. It does not create a registration, signed agreement, or reserved seat.
Included in the signed checkout
These are not display-only policies. Each one is included in the required paid-registration acknowledgments and must be accepted before signature and payment.
All completed payments are final and nonrefundable. Monthly plans renew until canceled. Cancel before the next renewal to stop future charges; cancellation does not create a prorated refund or credit for the current billing period.
Monthly missed sessions do not roll over and do not create credits. A one-time drop-in may be moved once to another available Office Hours if the request is received before the original session begins. After the start time, the session is treated as used.
There may be announced holiday or closure dates, and the schedule may occasionally change. If Ali cancels a paid session, participants will receive a replacement date or account credit.
Each registration is for one participating adult. Loved ones may naturally be nearby at home, but the private link, materials, and active speaking participation belong to the registered attendee and may not be shared.
Participants will be asked to respect one another’s privacy, but no online group can guarantee that another participant will keep information confidential. Share with care. Recording, screenshots, and redistribution are not permitted.
Office Hours is not psychotherapy, medical or mental-health treatment, clinical aftercare, or crisis response. Participation is independent of any facility. Anyone in immediate danger or crisis should contact local emergency services or the appropriate crisis resource.
