I'm reprinting this article from a year ago. I'm very interested in hearing your comments.
A New Way of Looking at Money $$$$
Money is a strategy we use to meet our needs. When I offer individual sessions and classes, I meet a variety of my own needs, including making a contribution, creating meaning, having a connection, and personal growth. I intend to meet my need for support in my livelihood through my individual work & teaching. Hoping to meet these needs, I ask that each person contribute the most they can.
At the same time, I have a deep joy in and commitment to making my work available to all people regardless of their financial means. This meets my need for inclusion, hope, and concrete action toward bringing peace and change to our world. Hoping to meet these needs, I ask that each person contribute no more than they are able.
Money is a charged issue for most of us in this culture. In this context, I want to shift our relationships to money. One of my ways of doing this is to create a wide sliding-scale rather than the usual quite narrow sliding-scale for my individual sessions. I hope that you will see my sliding-scale as an opportunity to consider the variety of needs that exist within your relationship to money * your needs for sustainability, security, ease, comfort, and contribution, among others. I hope that you will consider those needs of yours along with mine which I described above, and arrive at an amount that reflects your financial reality grounded in your needs. Hoping to meet both your and my needs I ask that you contribute the most that you would like to.
I am excited about this approach as I have found that, over time, it contributes to meeting all of our needs for learning and for moving toward a society in which everyone's needs can be considered, and hopefully met.
I have set a sliding scale of $75-$150 for an hour session. If you have questions or comments about this please call or email me at:
