Donation / Flexible Payment Guidelines

A quick summary of below write up: Donate/pay what you feel. You are the judge. If you think the service provided no value and don’t want to come back, you don’t need to pay.

FYI: This document will be updated regularly as circumstances and understanding dictate.

I am currently accepting payment for my services on a “Donation” or “Flexible” (aka “pay that you think”) fee schedule.  Many people ask for guidance on an appropriate amount to pay. I understand it can be ambiguous and confusion. The below information is to assist understanding. It is one perspective. Please use your own judgement.

“Donation / Flexible” fee means that you are free to use your judgement to come up with an amount. Generally, donation based services are intended to cost less and be more accessible than equivalent flat fee services for a variety of reasons dependent on the provider. The model is meant to be open-ended. In my case, it is primarily there to keep me clear of any conscious or unconscious motivation to provide a certain value for your money. Thereby, allowing me to stay clear of financial pressure. It is my intention to move away from the donation based model in the future when I am confident compensation will not interfere with the purity of the services. I want you to feel good about the service to fee ratio and for me to maintain high quality services and pure connection with spirit.

General example fee guideline to use if you choose:

·       If you are literally broke: $10  (or you can email me if extreme financial hardship is present)

·       Student / minimum wage worker minimum: $20

·       Based on value and ability to pay and whatever factors you want to include: $40 - $175

·       Talk to me about any questions or ideas you have about payment or packages.

·       If you think the service was horrible and don’t want to come back then you don’t need to pay.

·       Integrity is recommended at all times, especially for spiritual work.

·       For comparison, similar services generally cost anywhere from $100 - $200 or more per hour depending on a variety of factors.

*If you want to make an additional donation on behalf of others with less financial ability, please make a note of that and I will apply it to those in need.  Your generosity is always appreciated.

I hope this was helpful and look forward to working with you.

Warm Regards,

Thurston
