How much does it cost?
Your training cost includes
Your training cost will include two parts:
Your payment will cover:
- Transport from Hà Nội to Bái Đính & back (about 2 hours, with our own shuttle bus) at a fixed time;
- 3 meals per day, tea and coffee during the training;
- Supplies for the training and a training companion guide in PDF form;
- Training fee (3,5 days);
- Accommodation of your choice.
Training ticket
We operate with the principle of “Ask for what you need, offer what you can“, and we invite you into shared responsibility to make this training happen.
The estimated budget to organize this year’s Art of Hosting training is around 510 million VND (nearly USD 21,000). This includes all the logistics and organizing cost and a small honorarium for the people who put in the efforts to make this training happen.
We expect to welcome around 50 participants this year. So taking the budget divided by the number of people and we have the first tier of pricing at 10.3 million VND per ticket (USD 425).
We also offer a second tier of pricing where the team receives little to no honorarium at all. In this case the minimal fee is 7.9 million VND per ticket (USD 325).
That makes up 2 ticket tiers as you see here. And please read on about the Gifts to Neighbors and Group Discount, as we know not all of us fit in these 2 boxes.
Sustainable Ticket
- You pay for your food, organizing cost, and give a gift to honor the work, experience and wisdom of the hosting and organizing team.
Minimal Ticket
- You pay for your food and organizing cost. All our work and effort to make this training happen will be our gift to you.
‘Gifts to Neighbors’ fund
We understand that these fees might still be a lot for some people, while they are not much for others. That is why we are creating a pot called Gifts to Neighbors; everyone can give to, and ask for support from the Gifts.

Ask for what you need
If you really want to be in this training but finance is a big barrier, you can ask for support from the Gifts pot. For example, if you can only offer USD 225, you can ask for USD 200 from the Gifts.
Please indicate your need in the registration form and our team will be in touch for further steps. Apply for this support before one of the three deadlines: Jan 26th, Feb 16th or Mar 1st. The earlier you ask, the better.
We know that asking for help sometimes requires lots of courage and consideration. Feel free to reach out to us if you would love to have a conversation before deciding.
Last training, 35% of all participants were able to join thanks to this practice. And the best part is, the Gifts do not start from zero. We already have 47 million VND (USD 1930) from last year’s training that was saved for this purpose. Let’s keep the generosity flow!
Group discount
Whether you want to ask or contribute to the Gifts or not, we offer a 5-10% discount from Sustainable Ticket for groups of at least 3 participants coming from the same project / organization / family / neighborhood depending on your group size.
This offer is to encourage people from the same community to join and learn together, so that they have a shared practice when they come back.
