Besides, the fact that people have to deliver something of value at the door of a ceremony is a symbol in itself.
It tells he or she is really appreciating the time and effort that was invested in the event and it will be experienced accordingly.
I've done a couple of ceremonies where I didn't ask any money for it and there is still people that don't understand the level of surrender and appreciation it takes to be in a medicine wheel.
Because lack of appreciation is lack of value and it is lack of reciprocity. So it can attract jesters and parasites.
It was a learning that I have gone through since I thought it had to be open to everyone for free.
But in the end these unappreciative folk tend to bother and stain the experience of the committed ones.
And it is a true lost of medicinal purposes.
Rather we are fewer but more understanding ones.
We speak the language of money and values and reciprocity
