Contribution:
Welcome to our contribution strategy to offer flexibility and structure simultaneously. We understand that our financial capacity to contribute ebbs and flows. We aim to make our events as accessible as possible while also making them sustainable and creating a wonderful experience for us all, building a momentum for community gatherings. Believe us, these events are not making anyone an income. They are truly designed to support sustainable community connection and creativity – which, in todays economy, does cost something.
For this event we have created tiered contribution options:
-
- Plant the Seed: $25
- Take care of the bare basics: Pay the musicians a base amount, have the event not be a financial loss for the hosts / production team / musicians.
- Nourish the Seed: $35
- Taking care of the basics (25)
- Hiring key team members: The additional $10 goes towards paying key team-members that support the musicians like a sound professional and videographer, video editor, and contributing to the venue/hosting/behind-the-scenes admin/coordinating costs. This will enable us to create valuable digital assets (recordings and video footage) for the musicians so they can continue to promote their magic and book more gigs.

- Lift each other up: An additional $10 contributed towards our community-support fund. This is a sponsorship fund specifically to support our community members who are in a financial tight spot so they can still attend events and we can still cover costs. As this fund grows, so too will its potential for impact, from helping community members attend small scale events like these to our larger, multi-day retreats. This goes a long way, because often when we’re in financial hard spots we’re in most need for community connection.

Capacity and Carpooling:
There are only 16 parking spots available. Please try to avoid brining large vehicles like trucks. Do not drive your car here alone. Find a friend to ride up with and reach out to us in advance if you need help finding a carpool buddy. This event will work best if everyone arrives with 2-4 people per vehicle. This is also a good reason to arrive early. First come first serve for parking, we have secondary options available further down the driveway once our driveway fills up. However, we sincerely aim to not have overflow.
Our Max Capacity for this event is 50 people.
Once tickets sell out, they sell out, we don’t have unlimited space. Plus, who likes crowded events? We don’t.
We are betting on it not being crappy weather this evening, by being outside, it expands the comfortable capacity of the home / property. If the weather is bad, we’ll move indoors, and it’ll be cozy.
