Our financial model

We currently donate 100% of net financial proceeds to Strong Minds, a non-profit that treats depression in women and adolescents in low-income communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Strong Minds has been selected as one of the most effective charities in the world.

In 2023, our goal is to raise 3,000 EUR for the organization. You can see our progress here.

Pay what you want
We believe mindfulness should be accessible to everyone. We never want money to be a reason not to participate in one of our events. At the same time, we believe that participants recognize the value of what we offer and are prepared to make a fair financial exchange in accordance with their particular situation.

Therefore, we ask participants to determine for themselves what level of contribution is appropriate, and to make a donation directly to the organization through our fundraising site. 

If you are looking for guidance, consider the following suggested donation range for each activity:
​
- Meditation group: 3-5 euros per session
- Day retreat: 60-90 euros
- 8-week course: 200 euros

Our motivation
We are inspired by the work of Giving What We Can, which encourages individuals to give a meaningful portion of their income to effective charities. Rather than writing a check, we choose redirect the financial benefit of our work towards an organization which shares our passion for improving mental health. And although we divert the financial benefit to others, we gladly retain for ourselves the generous benefits of experience and satisfaction that are inherent in this work. 😊

Finally, and not unimportantly, there is a certain amount of complexity to navigating the fiscal system. Rather than spend time and money on administration at this stage of the organization, we have chosen an approach which we believe is simultaneously simple, fair and kind.
