Hiya.
Last year I tried to run a regular, monthly Reiki share to give support to past students. The hire of a hall that was central to everyone cost me £20 per session.(around $35 per night)
I often found that due to people saying they were going to attend, then not doing so,I was having to pay the majority of this fee myself.
This experience has put me fully alongside paying to attend a share, indeed splitting the cost of room hire equitably.

This year i think I'll try to learn to play the fiddle instead.
