Hosting an Event or Retreat
Event fees are determined by both the number of sessions and length of the event. Fees are for the teachers and assistance with promotion. Fees do not cover the cost of books used at the event or any food that the host organization chooses to serve. All travel expenses are the responsibility of the host organization as outlined below. A sampling of event fees is offered below to guide interested groups in planning and budgeting for an event. Please call us with any questions related to event costs. When considering the length of the event, please consider travel time as well.
Call Inc. is not a business. All event fees support the mission and ministry of Call Inc.

Introductory Workshop (1-2 hour session):
$150-200
At the discretion of Call Inc., the fee for an introductory event may be reduced if the introductory workshop precedes and promotes a longer Call Inc. event (5-6 sessions) hosted by the same organization.
One or two day Event (Three sessions):
$350 (one day) – $400 (two day)… plus cost of books for participants if applicable
Friday Eve – Saturday Event (Six sessions):

Extended Event (Six sessions over several days):

“What Next?” Session
Add $150 to the seminar fee if you would like to include a one-two hour(s) follow-up session to consider next steps for your church or organization. A “What Next?” session is a guided discussion with the result of identifying not only next steps but also who might like to implement these steps.
Making an Event Affordable
It is suggested that the costs of an event be covered by a combination of budgeted funds, individual registration fees, benefactors, offerings, and fund raising, allowing individual registration fees to not be prohibitive in nature. For example, ten people might donate $50 each toward an event, reducing the overall cost per participant.
