The Gift Principle
The Gift Principle establishes and prioritizes relationship. A relationship that derives its meaning and value from honoring you and me. By applying this principle, I am saying I trust you and I consider your perspective to be as important as mine.
In a world where “business” is supplanted by “relationship”, the economy itself becomes a virtuous cycle of flow of abundance. I’m an idealist in the sense that I believe that the ideal and the mundane live within each other. They are inseparable.
Accounting for the fact that the tax rate in Belgium is 50%, my fees for individual and couples sessions are 150 euros & 180 euros, respectively ($180 & $210, respectively), which involves 120+ minutes of work (90 minutes in session, 30~60 minutes preparation and follow-up) that is informed by my considerable training in transpersonal psychology, psycho-spiritual coaching, and rich life experience.
My fee for Yi-Jing consultations are 150 euros (180 US dollars), which is for a 90 minute session.
For A Course in Miracles and Projective Dreamwork Circle, I offer these services on a donation basis.
By applying The Gift Principle, I accept that you may value my services at a different amount from what I’ve asked. I also understand that while you may agree with the fees or tuition I ask, your present situation may make it difficult for you to pay what you would like. Therefore, if and when you invoke The Gift Principle due to the reasons I just described, you can pay me after I render my services in order that you can evaluate how much you would pay me, or you can pay me in two or three different installments. I trust and accept what you decide, because I want to cultivate relationships of trust.
p.s. I first learned about “The Gift Principle” from Charles Eisenstein’s book called Sacred Economics. The book image below links to his website. The research he did on how money and the economy are based on a limited notion of the self, and how we can use money to relate to each other and nature in a way that honors the sacred in everything is simply transformative.
