"Bringing healing, friendship, spirituality and the joy of service back into writing."

My approach to any of my workshops is based on a Buddhist principle called dana paramita which I take to mean:

I prefer to offer my workshops on a suggested donation basis rather than ask for a fixed sum.  This means that I rely on donations for all of my expenses. I believe that the practice of teaching unfolds best for everyone concerned when teaching-healing and the support for it are given freely.

What is an appropriate amount of dana paramita?  I do not charge a fixed amount but I do have some suggested guidelines. I allow each person to answer that question from her/his own heart and circumstances. Here are some guidelines.  In the Sacramento area, I have seen facilitators offer my type of workshops for amounts that range from $25.00 to $100.00 per session. 

"Dana paramita is a gift to ourselves because it is an opportunity to give freely.  Giving and receiving are really part of the same whole."
