An invitation to begin
The Gift Economy
On our Level 1 introductory workshops the teaching is offered as a gift. You cover the fixed cost of food and accommodation, then contribute to the tuition whatever feels right for you.
What it is
A different way to begin
For over thirty years we’ve guided people into the heart of tantra. To make that first step as open and accessible as possible, we offer our Level 1 introductory workshops through a Gift Economy.
Rather than a fixed ticket price, the teaching is offered as a gift. You pay only the real, fixed costs of your food and accommodation, and afterwards you’re invited to contribute to the tuition whatever you feel it was worth — and whatever you’re able to give.
The Gift Economy applies to the tuition on our specified Level 1 introductory workshops — food and accommodation are always paid separately.
How it works
Three simple steps
Reserve your place
Choose an upcoming Level 1 workshop and pay the fixed food and accommodation costs for your stay. There’s no set charge for the tuition.
Experience the full workshop
Take part in the complete Level 1 experience, held by our expert, trauma-aware team.
Give what feels right
Afterwards, contribute to the teaching whatever you feel it was worth and are able to give — from a few pounds to thousands.
The value you receive
What stands behind every workshop
A Shakti Tantra workshop is the result of decades of refinement and a great deal of care. When you join a Level 1 gift-economy workshop, you receive all of this:
- Expert facilitation teams with a high staff-to-participant ratio, so no one is left unsupported.
- Premium private venues chosen for their beauty, safety and privacy.
- A curriculum refined and deepened over more than 30 years.
- Trauma-aware facilitation, clear boundaries and genuine aftercare.
- Small, carefully held groups where real transformation can happen.
- A welcoming community of women, men and couples on the same path.
On a Level 1 gift-economy workshop you receive all of this — and pay only your food and accommodation, plus whatever you feel able to give.

Questions
Common questions
Are all your courses gift economy?
No. The Gift Economy applies to our specified Level 1 introductory workshops. Our other programmes — Mixed, Women’s and Couples workshops, advanced levels and stand-alone workshops — are offered at their full price.
What if I can only give a little?
That’s completely fine. Give whatever you genuinely feel able to — there is no minimum, and no judgement.
Is there pressure to give a certain amount?
None at all. Your contribution is private and entirely your choice, made after the workshop.
What’s included in food and accommodation?
Your meals and your stay at the venue for the duration of the workshop. These are a fixed, payable cost for every participant — the Gift Economy does not apply to them. The gift applies only to the tuition: the teaching itself is offered as a gift, and you contribute what feels right for that. We’ll share the exact food and accommodation costs for each event so you know precisely what to expect.
