ACCOMMODATION PRICES
PRICES
MASSIA tries to keep prices accessible whilst not receiving any subsidies: its non-profit economic sustainability is based on the contributions towards stays and memberships. In addition, MASSIA’s self-organisation is mainly run on unpaid labor.
MASSIA offers a pricing model that aims to reflect on disparities in access to income and resources. The sliding scale that we offer is a solidarity practice and a way of learning together how to be in solidarity under capitalism.
We understand that sliding scales often operate under a ‘no questions are asked’ basis. However, since we are in a learning process, we may ask questions once in a while. We are practicing how to talk about money and economics and recognize that shame and discomfort are common.
MASSIA also invite you to look at the wheel below and reflect upon your position in regards to access to resources and funds. we ask that you not only consider your present-day financial situation governed by current income but also factors including:
– your access to income and financial wealth (both current and anticipated): how easily could you earn more income compared to other people in your country and in the world? what is the minimum wage of the country you are based in? do you have the privilege not to work? Do you expect to receive an inheritance?
– what is the colour of your skin? what passport do you have, what privileges, resources, access does it grant you? do you have access to generational wealth, inheritance? do you have gender privileges? Are there any disabilities affecting your capacity to earn money?
All prices include 13% VAT.
Payment happens once you’ve arrived on-site.

*Funded/ Pay-it-Forward
If you earn a stable income, have savings or the prospect of inheritance, please consider the “Pay-it-forward” category. This makes it possible to offer the “Solidarity” and “Supported” price categories. If you apply for funding for your stay in MASSIA, please use “Funded” accommodation prices for your budget.
Regular Price
The 18€ covers only monthly costs, and doesn’t pay for (large) repairs, improvements, and labour.
Solidarity price
This price category recognises that the “Regular” price is impossible for some to afford. It cares for the gap between what MASSIA would need for its sustainability and the unequal distribution of income and access to funds. Please have a look at the wheel to see if this price is for you.
Supported
This category exists in reference to the Estonian minimum wage rates (4,74 €/hour in 2024) and we invite anyone coming to MASSIA to reflect on their income and earnings in relation to this figure when requesting a “Supported” price.
Wheel of Privilege

The existing scale is informed by what we learned from others who organise events/offerings/club nights and any forms of gathering that need to function under capitalism and recognise histories of oppression. Other inspiration sources are the work of anarcho-feminists, solidarity and organising movements that centre black indigenous people of colour (BIPOC) and attempt to decolonise some of the ways in which generationally and systemically marginalisation deepens and keeps functioning.
