Philosophical practitioners from the philosophical practice community are generally not required to pay participation fee for Agora's companionships. Participants are encouraged, however, to make a donation to Agora, in appreciation of our time, and in order to help Agora function and develop. We recommend that you donate the price of a cinema ticket in your country for each session in which you participate.
