Integrating inclusion with sustainability
Moving from Scarcity to Abundance...

It’s our desire that this program be accessible to all those who want to come, irrespective of their financial resources, especially those who have been systemically denied access to them. We would like the costs of organising the program to be covered – and the organising team who is putting in their heart, time and energy – to be nurtured and taken care of. We are wanting to look for creative ways to be inclusive as well as sustainable.

The attempt to make things work for all of us is an integral part of our values and also what this event is about, and corresponds to specific parts of the content of the event itself: it’s about having difficult conversations where we can hold the needs of all the concerned with consent and a spirit of collaboration, shifting from negotiations to dialogue; from an individual perspective to an interdependent one and from Scarcity to Abundance. In our own ways, we are trying to live with collaboration as we want to build a ‘Teal’ Family' or a larger 'Teal Community' and are also integrating the consciousness of Nonviolent Communication(NVC) as it becomes even more exciting to to explore diverse strategies as we work with money.

This attempt to being inclusive and having equity does take some time and effort from us too, however we gain your presence with this effort. We get a much diverse participants who come here to co-create this rich and meaningful event.

We wish to move from a scarcity mindset to abundance mindset when looking at money, and also from individual to collective care for each other and hope to create a new relationship with money through these engagements.

In this instance, we are utilising a variety of approaches with the aim to reach enough sustainability, enough clarity, enough ease, enough self-responsibility, and enough accessibility for all.

  1. After a lot of deliberations by the organising team, we have decided to offer the event on a sliding scale and iniviting the participants to pick a price that honours theirs as well as the organisers needs. 
  2. We have settled on the contributions that are calculated to cover all associated costs, including ongoing sustainability for the organising team and the facilitator, and supporting exemptions/scholarships. 
  3. We invite  you to contribute to the best of your capacity so the organisers are also nurtured, besides we can then also support people who cannot even pay the lower side of the sliding scale. 
  4. We aim to find a way to also accommodate everyone who is unable to contribute at the level we requested through a variety of strategies as you can see below. Since we may at times not offer to support every one we are giving preference to people who have been on the margins due to structural and systemic imbalances, as well as those who are choosing to work on social change projects or are community contributors. If you wish to apply for the discounts and exemptions please fill the form 

Financial Flexibility and Discounts: Instalments/Discounts/Work Exchange/Fund Raisers

1. INSTALMENTS

For those who are not able to pay their chosen fee amount right away and are able to do it over time, we offer a way to contribute in 3 instalments. This is a way for you to be able to have more ease, and for us to have the full sustainability we are hoping for. The installment facility is available even for those who are offering less than the full amount.

2. DISCOUNTS & EXEMPTIONS (Applicable to International & Regional participants)

We have identified certain criteria to navigate the discounts by trying to offset the structural imbalances which deny people access to resources. We believe that this denial at the structural level is also a kind of violence and we would like to try our best to counter it with some kind of affirmative action. Our criterion may be limited and may not address everything but it’s an humble attempt to bring more access and equity in this world.

Since processing the exemptions takes effort, we would not want to leave it for the last minute. Thus we want you to apply for Discounts by filling the form floated for it as early as possible and latest by 15th December as the seats are limited and they may get full very soon.  

Please feel safe in making requests for the discount. We may not be able to offer discounts to all but it will be a sincere ways to have people included in the program irrespective of their financial resources.

3. WORK EXCHANGE

For those who find it difficult to contribute the full amount, an option is that you may contribute towards creating this event and/or for supporting Ahimsagram in its work. Ahimsagram is putting its time and energy into making this event happen and if we get support in our work, it will allow us to offer this and other such events in the future for the community. You can offer your skills and time and we can engage on it. It takes effort for us to figure out these things.

4.FREE COACHING FOR FUND RAISING

According to Miki Kashtan, "Power is our capacity to mobilise resources to meet our needs. Sometimes we underestimate the power we have to mobilise those resources. We encourage you to find ways to fund raise and can guide you for it. We will even share your requests in our community so if there are people who enjoy supporting some one who can join this program, can come forward to contribute towards your fee for the program. We can also request to our benefactors to offer support for you to attend the program by contributing for your fee in part or full.

Discount Form (Applicable for Regional & International participants)

We are aware that for some even the lower side of the sliding scale may not be affordable, in that case you can apply for a discount. The conversations around discounts will take a lot of our energy but we are willing to stretch ourselves to some extent. Despite our serious intention we may not be able to support each one of you in the way that you may wish to be supported and there may be some disappointments too. We are hoping that you see the sincerity of our effort and trust us for our intentions, even when we are not able to find a solution that is fully satisfying for you.

These responses will help us get a better understanding of your situation and will help us make the choice to support the person who is most eligible for the discount. We may not be able to satisfy everyone but trust that we will be seen for our intentions. Our preference is to support people who are on the margins because of the structural imbalances in the society and economy, or those who are community contributors or are in social change projects.
