What happens here with money

Participation is free. A gift is voluntary and only afterwards

The whole programme — the 30 days, seasons of one quality, years of practice — is free for everyone: no fees, no deposits, no conditions. When a step is complete, the platform will offer, once, to make a gift — in deeds or in money. You can direct it to the project, to the founder or to your own leader, as you decide. You may give or not: it changes nothing in the practice, in access, or in how you are treated.

Right now there is nowhere to send a gift of money: gifts are not accepted until the non-profit is registered. What follows is for when it opens. You can help with deeds already — see the end of this page.

Three purposes — your choice

A gift can go to the project: the website and the platform, printing notebooks for libraries, rooms for meetings, registration and accounting of the non-profit. Or it can go to the founder or to your own leader, as thanks for their work. It is thanks afterwards, not a fee for taking part: circles, cards and the diary are equally free for everyone, whoever gave thanks. A leader does not see who thanked them: only the administrator sees names, and the open report shows numbers only. If anyone’s work is ever paid for out of the common fund, the board will decide it — openly and with a report.

Three rules of the gift

  1. The offer is made once and only after a completed step: after the 30 days, after the first season of one quality, after the first year of practice. Never before, and never as a condition of participation.
  2. Amounts are anonymous and never announced; a gift gives no status, no influence over the programme and no privileges inside the practice.
  3. We do not remind and we never ask twice. The “No, thank you” button closes the offer for that step: we will not ask about it again.

Everything through the non-profit, everything visible

Gifts will go to the account of the project’s non-profit organisation. The report of income and spending will open together with the acceptance of gifts — no names, numbers only. Rule of independence: no single donor gives more than a third of the annual budget.

How to give

International card, PayPal or cryptocurrency; in Russia, card or instant bank transfer. All methods open inside the participant account after a step is complete. While the non-profit is not registered, gifts are not accepted: the project holds no one else’s money until there is a legal entity and a public report.

Helping with deeds — already now

This is not a payment or a gift for taking part; it obliges you to nothing and gives you nothing inside the practice. Anyone can help — including someone who will never take part themselves.

  • Offer a venue for an open circle: a library, a cultural centre, a loft.
  • Proofread the English translation, or help translate the cards into Spanish, Hindi or your own language.
  • Become an outside contact for circles: a person outside the programme whom a participant can write to if there is pressure in a circle or its rules are broken.
  • Take on the practical side of a cohort — reminders, forms, the organisational chat — if you are not taking part in that cohort yourself.
