As a 501 c3 non-profit we do request an honorarium for our speakers for all public speaking engagements. We’ve thoughtfully designed our honorarium packages to ensure the success of your event while balancing that of the energy and time asked of our speakers as they are all working full time in the Regenerative movement. All honoraria go directly to supporting our mission of promoting environmental regeneration and providing everyone with the pathways and the resources to do so. Honorarium rates will be discussed once the appropriate form is filled out. All fees that we charge can be classified as charitable contributions.
We are so grateful you want to share the message of regeneration through a public appearance with a member of Kiss the Ground. We know that together, we can do this!
