What is Conscious Contribution?

Our retreats are offered through a Conscious Contribution model. This means we invite you to reflect honestly on your financial situation, the value of the work being offered, and your capacity to contribute to the sustainability of this medicine and community

When participants choose to pay above the minimum contribution, those additional funds are placed into our Helping Hands account. This fund exists solely to support participants who are genuinely experiencing financial hardship

Because “financial hardship” can mean different things to different people—and because we have limited resources—we now offer a maximum of €100 Financial Hardship Support on an application basis.

This support is intended for those who feel deeply called to the work and who are committed to fully showing up for the preparation, the retreat itself, and the integration process.

Please note:

  • This is not a merit-based scholarship, but a needs-based support.

  • Funds are limited and not guaranteed for every applicant.

  • All participants receive the same care, respect, and quality of facilitation regardless of contribution level.

In the spirit of transparency: approximately 80% of your contribution covers retreat costs, and 20% covers exchange. This exchange is already below standard salary guidelines. VAT is only added when a tax receipt is required, allowing us to keep costs lower for those who do not need one.

Other Discounts Available

  • Early Bird Discount: This is to reward those who plan ahead. Each retreat has this discount available , but each retreat has its own restrictions (according to the location’s booking policy). If this is available for the retreat you’re interested in, it will be clearly marked with the code to use, discount amount, when it expires and what date the balance in full is due. 
    • Dorm/ Alternative Accommodation Discount:  Some locations offer a dorm style accommodations, or pitch your own tent camping option. [Standard at most retreats is a shared accommodation with one other person of the same identifying gender, sharing a bathroom.] If this is available for the retreat you’re interested in, it will be clearly marked with the code to use and discount amount. 

    Any discount code will be deducted from the contribution you choose. For example, if you chose to pay €1111 then had an Early Bird discount or a special code, the price would decrease from the 1111€.
