We recognize the various structural advantages that enable certain individuals higher incomes and consequently greater access to events, often resulting in homogeneity among participants. 

We wish to counterbalance that and wish to cultivate hospitality for a diverse group of attendees from different backgrounds -- as far as it lies within the scope of our actual resources and possibilities. 

One way we do this is by distributing a number of discounted tickets as thoughtfully as possible. Therefore: Please motivate your decision to apply for a discounted ticket. Priority for these tickets is given to people with economic needs, taking in consideration belonging to one or more marginalized groups.

We consider systemic factors that affect one's financial stability, such as gender, race, class, immigration, age, ability, health, neurodiversity, single parenthood, employment, care work, or occupations in social, cultural, or artistic fields. Additionally, we take into account experience in Touch&Play and similar events, as well as in Contact Improvisation, bodywork, and related crafts, because we recognize the valuable contributions professionals and community leaders make to the space, as they use their expertise to offer support to others. 

We also welcome any ideas you may have regarding how you would like to contribute to the retreat on a non-financial basis.

This tickets have a 25% discount on the normal ticket price for that category. The code might not apply to all categories. We are aware that this is still beyond some peoples means.
