The monetairy contribution of the participants are destinated to cover the expenses of this project and to allow its continous development. There isn't any contribution which is related in any way to the accommodation, gastronomie or any other turistic aspect, as we are not a hostel, a camping nor anything simular. If you decide to spend some nights in this valley, in its artistic spaces or below the stars, or if you decide to share our kitchen, the compost toilet, the showers,... with us, you do it under the concept of a consious and voluntary participantion in a project of experimental living.

The contribution is composed by several fees which you heave to sum :

Association fee

For taking part in our project you have to get member of our association, which might be temporary. We offer 4 types of membership:
Weekly membership: 44 €. We are not offering daily membership anymore, but still you can join for any number of days. Like this we recompense the high effort of integrating new people into our living and creative activity. After the first week you can continue by weekly memberships or extend your stay by single days contributing 7 €.
Year's membership: 111 €. It includes an active participation of 21 days* which can be enjoyed separatly or even a whole month in case it is a continuous participation. Like that, for example, you can join 10 times for 2 or 3 days. After you enjoyed all included days you can add single days for 4 € a day. Also we invite you to our assemblies.
Intensive year's membership: 333 €. Includes an active participation during a not limited number of days, whenever we open up the valley. (We garanty opening up for a minimum of 150 days a year). The fee of our events will be reduced to 50%.
Membership in our team: without fee. It is offered excusively to people who did colaborate intensively already.

Community fund

All expenses that arise directly from the presence of a group of people are shared among those who participate: Buying food and hardware / Transport expenses related / Cleaning / Replacement for damages or wear. (This money is directly managed by the people in the place).

Events' fees:

See announcements to find out about aditional fees for our events.
Because of the "crisis" we offer half event fee to people of a age up to 35, from Spain, Portugal, Greece or 3rd world countries.
This fees cover the organizating costs for the events: Instructors, management, advertising, travel expenses, etc.. (This fund is handled by the workshops instructors. They, depending on the kind of event, hand out from nothing and 50% to the Association).

Donations

We are happy about donations. If you join under the concept of "Life to see" there is a donation requiered.
To crystallize this ambitious project we would like to encourage those who value and enjoy our work to support it within their means. Particularily, concerning the individual visitors who come to "experience" what this place offers, we expect that they provide reasonable donations.

*) Natural days are counted. Which means that as much the arrival day is counted, as the depature day, independent of the duration of you presence on theese days. In case you arrive during the official hours of arrival, we wouldn't count the arrival day because it gives us the chance to do the introduction coletively.
**) The reduction of the fee to the community budget is done retroactivly. If this is your desire we can hand you back part or all of the fee at the end of each week. This is valorated by the core team in tune with your practical input. Just with well known participants we can agree on a prior reduction.
***) The reduction because of the integration of new participants can be extended to a maximum of 7 days and it is offered exclusivly to people with a calendula, fresno, cerezo or olivo symbol

Nota: If you are not feeling o.k., with supporting the existence of such a project with your economic contribution, parallel to your practical participation, we ask you to abdicate of your participation. The colective financiation is an unevitable aspect of this project. We wish to recieve the contribution voluntarily and from your heart.

If you want to join the project for the first time, you have to inscribe in an event of your choice. To do so you have to register first as a member in the website and then you cansign up to any event.

To book your assistance for a workshop or any other event, we ask you to transfer to our bank the association fee.

It is also possible to get inscribed for an event without transferring any money, but in this case we cannot guarantee your assistance. So you risk not being able to take part in case all places are taken, the same way we take the risk that you don't show up.

If you decide afterwards not to take part in the event, we will not return you the association fee, since it is the management fee.

If due to some unexpected cause the event doesn't take place, you can choose between two options:

• We give you the money back,
• or you can leave that money for any other future occasion. In this case the value of the fee paid gets doubled (for example if you pay in advance for a participation of 3 days, it would then be valid for the association fee of 6 days).

We keep the right to cancel any event or reservation for any other type of participation, if there aren't enough partakers, if the climate conditions are extremely bad, or for illness or other personal or organizational reasons.

In case of cancellation we will right away inform all the people inscribed.
Should this not be possible, we offer the possibility of enjoying and participating in a different way. This would then have its appropriate fee. In any case, you will always be able to get your advanced money back, or keep it for a future occasion, doubling its value.
