Gift Economy
Gift Economy
This course is being offered using gift economy principles. This means that we are not asking for money in exchange of you taking part. Some of you may be willing and able to contribute some money. Others may want to take it as a gift.
We are working with money in this way because we want to seed webs of support for people who are deeply longing to contribute to a vision of a world that works for all no matter what money they have access to. At the same time, we are asking you to give us what you can and want to, in order to help sustain us in doing this work and cover some of the basic costs involved in offering this workshop. We invite you to give as much as you can without overstretching or tension, which includes giving us no money at all.
In discerning the amount, please think of your financial situation, as well as what will sustain us, and the collectives we are part of in relation to this offering .
We wanted to give you some idea of what amounts we are hoping to receive in total:
Receiving £2000 in total would be the lowest amount that would likely cover the training's costs.
Receiving £4000 in total would cover costs and contribute to NGL, WiW and Sauchie Home Farm
Receiving £5000 in total could sustain us and support a wider group of people who are working to bring these skills and insights into the world.
We hope that there might be very roughly 15 participants on this course. We’re saying this to give you a basic idea of how many people might be contributing some amount of money to us. We would like you to discern what you are able to contribute, with the above amounts as one reference point, rather than dividing the amounts by the number of people. This is because we want to make it possible for some people to not contribute any money at all and because we’re inviting you to follow the principle of contributing what you feel willing and able to. We invite those of you who have access to financial resources to contribute and support us. We really want any of you who are inspired to learn from us, and from the group that will gather to be able to do so.
Request: Please choose an amount and make your contribution now
