Fees, Sacred Economics, or Donations? - Association for Spirituality Webinar

Many spiritual teachers and guides grapple with the challenge of providing valuable guidance while ensuring their financial needs are met. This meeting aims to foster an open dialogue about best practices for financial compensation in spiritual teaching/guidance, and identify pitfalls to avoid.

During this session, we:

– Explored ethical considerations around charging for spiritual services.

– Discussed various compensation models, including donation-based, fees or the sacred economics model.

-Shared success stories and effective strategies with each other drawing from our experiences as professional spiritual leaders.

-Discussed practices that can lead to misunderstandings or mistrust within the community.

Whether you are a seasoned spiritual leader, a newcomer to the field, or someone interested in spiritual practices, this meeting invites you to contribute your thoughts and experiences. Together, we can develop a framework that respects the value of spiritual work while promoting ethical financial sustainability.

The meeting was lightly facilitated by ASI advisor, Kimberley Lafferty.
