How you can help?
The Hope Collective is guided by the Yogic principles of Seva – the art of selfless service. Ahimsa - respect for all living things and avoidance of violence towards others. And Kula – a community of the heart built on respect and the understanding of our oneness with all things.
Everything counts. Your intention, your commitment to stand up and say ‘I care’ is the greatest gift that you can offer. Remember, £10 or £1,000 it all helps and acts as a powerful gesture of our global community coming together to show that we care and live by the practices that we teach of love and compassion.
Join The Hope Collective
- Wellness Teacher or Expert: Set up a local fundraising event in your community. This could be as simple as donating profits from a Yoga or wellness class that you are already running on that day or setting up a unique event to raise funds and awareness.
- Wellness Therapists and Studios: Offer a percentage of your profits on Saturday 3 October to The Hope Collective. Advertise your involvement in The Hope Collective to clients to ensure an extra busy day and to raise the vibration of The Hope Collective shared intention.
- Studio / Practice Space Owners: Donate studio space to teachers so they can run Hope Collective events on Saturday 3 October.
Not around on 3rd October? Never fear. Why not run an event during the week? Everything counts. And if not, you can always show your solidarity by donating through our Just Giving page or allowing the actions of The Hope Collective to be in your thoughts on that date to help raise the vibration of our actions.
And don't forget to spread the world and tell everyone you know and help to create our own mini-movement built on love, respect and compassion.
Get involved
Setting up an event
- You have complete and utter freedom with your Hope Collective event! It could be a 1:1 session or an entire festival! It's time to get creative! You might also use the event as an opportunity to collect much needed supplies to pass on to Aid providers such as CalAid. Everything counts and anything is possible.
- Once you have confirmed your event or chosen how you will be participating, we simply ask that you complete the form below. This will help us to list your event on The Hope Collective website and social media and raise awareness of our community and combined activities - as well as advertising your event.
Donations & Payments
- There are so many different options for the type of event that you might run. You might make the event free and based on donations only. Or the class might already be a certain set price and you can donate a percentage (or all) of your profit to our chosen charity. Or perhaps you'll sell tickets for an event. It's totally up to you and your resources.
- When taking cash payments (for example donations on the day), it is each hosts responsibility to collect the money from students and donate directly to our Just Giving page following the event.
- If you are taking online payments for an event, for example to buy tickets in advance, then we suggest that you direct students straight to our Just Giving page to purchase tickets and instruct them to mention which event they are attending in their 'gift message' when they make payment. The payments should then be trackable and manageable for you. It will be your responsibility to ensure that payment has been received in this way for an event.
- If you are a therapist or studio donating a percentage of profits then you will simply be able to make the donation directly to our Just Giving page following the event.
Get started
- Once your event is organised and ready to go, simply complete the form below and we'll get the event online (exciting!). This is really important as an enormous part of what we are doing is creating a sense of solidarity as a global network of practitioners. Imagine how exciting it will be if we can see people taking part all around the world! Remember, the advertising and management and tracking of spots for your event is entirely down to you. We all act independently but as part of one global community with a shared intention.
- And please register if you are a therapist or studio donating a percentage of profits or getting involved in any way - that counts too!
