A reflection from Pronoia Coaching:
When I pay more, I know that I am helping others to access the event.
When I pay in the middle, I know I am helping the organizers cover costs.
And when I pay less, I know I am letting my community hold me and support me.
All of these are wonderful and acceptable ways of participating.
