Consistently giving can lead to burnout, even in activities we genuinely enjoy. To sustain our work and preserve our intimate experiences, it’s crucial to factor in Fair Energetic Exchange (FEE) introduced by educator Del Tashlin.
FEE is more than just a transaction; it’s about fostering positive and mutually respectful experiences. Establishing FEE in advance provides clarity on when our obligations end.
FEE encompasses various elements such as direct contributions, referrals, public recognition, permissions for documentation, travel/accomendation/material reimbursements, bartering, and the accumulation of boons or IOUs. Unfortunately, those we connect with may overlook the significant effort and energy invested in magical workings or rituals. Where energy is exchanged, acknowledging this energy becomes crucial. Openly discussing and negotiating FEE can simplify the complexities for everyone involved.
Creative problem-solving is essential for FEE, Whether through skill transfer, adjusting approaches, or finding compromises, navigating challenges with creativity ensures a harmonious exchange.
In community, acknowledging and uplifting one another is fundamental. FEE extends beyond scenes to encompass the efforts invested in maintaining spaces. We’re all part of this community, where support is key.
Ultimately, FEE is not confined to specific domains; it permeates all aspects of life and relationships. It serves as a fundamental aspect of maintaining balance, ensuring that the energetic exchange in our pursuits, whether magical, sensual, or intimate, remains fair, fulfilling, and mutually beneficial.
