“Fee in Gratitude” is an ancient concept of marketing.
It is based on the custom of making a gift or offering to whom or for what we are “grateful”.
For more years that I care to recall I had chosen not to charge a fee for my time and this was due to years of training in Spiritualism, a Christian based belief that had donation boxes and assistants collecting for the church and not the practitioner. After more that 25 years of practicing my calling I have come to a realization I too have to eat and pay bills so from January 2008 I am now suggesting a donation value for my work, please ask when you make an appointment for specifics.
Our Future Plans and Goals.
For many years it has been my goal to create a teaching and relaxation retreat here on Vancouver Island and my plans are still progressing slowly as it seems the need is growing day by day for people from all walks of life to walk in solitude and harmony while knowing they are cared for, given opportunities to learn new processes and open themselves to alternate paths of consciousness available to those who are ready to walk with their hearts fully open and their minds focused on spiritual awareness.
At a point somewhere in the future my goal will become a reality and a teaching facility will emerge from the land and will embrace our need to walk labyrinths, medicine wheels and find peace of heart and mind walking the grounds and listening to gentle waterfalls and birds singing as you rebirth into the real you like a butterfly opening its wings ready to fly free and follow its path to joy and contentment.
If you have ideas, or wish to impart thoughts and suggestions as to how this may be achieved we are ready to hear them as well as accept donations, benefactors and lasting legacies as appropriate.
Please speak to me directly if you wish further details.
In Love and Light
Jim Patterson
