Everyone who supports this effort can join Ayni, but currently only existing members who have attended 1 full retreat since 2023 can receive the 50% discount from the program after 30 days of joining Ayni. We believe in the spirit of Ayni and fairness that those who have already contributed significantly to our community should be the first to receive the fruits of their unwavering support. With that said, existing members must have contributed to Agape Ayni for 3-consecutive months before utilizing their credits for the same reasons.

This program is extremely generous in its offerings, and we are well aware of the potential of the vulnerability present for people to take advantage of the program. For these reasons, we have imposed temporary limitations on the program to prevent abuse, and to allow the program to sustain itself in accordance with ‘Ayni’.

Agape Ayni is a reciprocity program for members who support and believe in the future of our offerings.

It is now a membership requirement to contribute to Ayni in some form or fashion.

Enrolling in the Ayni Program is a commitment to both give and receive within the framework of Ayni, which emphasizes reciprocity and unity. Here are the essential details regarding enrollment, benefit utilization, and cancellation:

Enrolling and Utilizing Benefits:

Enroll with Intent: Begin by registering for the Ayni Program with the intention to engage fully and fairly. This program is not merely a series of transactions, but a commitment to mutual upliftment and support.

Receive Benefits Responsibly: Utilize the benefits, such as retreat discounts and other services, in a manner that aligns with your genuine spiritual needs. The Ayni Program is designed to support your spiritual journey without fostering dependency on constant benefits.

Cancelling Your Membership:

Considered Cancellation: If you decide to cancel your membership, we request you to consider the timing and reasons. Frequent, strategic enrollments followed by cancellations after receiving benefits undermine the spirit of Ayni and affect the community’s harmony and resource distribution.

Community Impact: Cancel only when absolutely necessary and with ample notice, to allow others the opportunity to access the program’s benefits.

Consequences of Misuse:

Program Integrity: Abuse of the program, such as repeatedly enrolling only to claim benefits and then cancelling, is considered serious misuse and may require you to catch up on missed months in order to receive your membership benefits.

Probation Period: Such behavior may lead to a 1-year probation period where your ability to re-enroll OR benefits can be restricted. This measure ensures all community members can enjoy and rely on the equitable distribution of resources.

The Ethos of Ayni:

Beyond Individual Gain: The Ayni Program is about exemplifying unity and supporting each other’s spiritual practices sustainably. It's designed to ensure that our sanctuary remains supported and available without pressuring members to participate before they are ready.

Sustainable Membership: We encourage maintaining your membership as long as it is mutually beneficial, reflecting true readiness and commitment to the community’s principles of support and reciprocity.

We value every member’s participation and trust in maintaining the balance and integrity of the Ayni Program. If you have any questions or need assistance with your participation, including potential cancellation, please contact us.

As the membership program becomes received more and more support, the incentives offered will adjust accordingly. It is the intention of the program to continuously give more than is received, and adapt our benefits for our participating members to thrive.
