The Course of Love series

I am happy to send anyone who can’t afford the books of A Course of Love a PDF document that can be viewed on the computer, or printed for personal use. All you need do is send a request to perron.mari@gmail.com

Dialogue

I am offering free dialogue connections to anyone who needs a listening ear and a compassionate voice to join them in their exploration of their spiritual or social matters of the heart and who are in a situation that does not allow them to pay for this kind of exchange.

For Fee Dialogue

I am offering dialogue sessions at the following rate for those who desire to be in dialogue and have the ability to enter into an affordable monetary exchange:

Income Guidelines

$20,000 – $30,000            $20/30 an hour

$30,000 – $40,000             $30/40 an hour

$40,000 – $50,000            $40/50 an hour

Same rate increases as income level increases. No proof of income needed. Discern for yourself where you fall in terms of being a single income earner or if your income supports your family.

Invitation

Invite the dialogue by initiating a request. Send it to perron.mari@gmail.com. List some days and hours of availability starting two weeks out. (If it’s an emergency that won’t wait two weeks, indicate that.) When a date/time is chosen, a telephone number will be provided for a one hour call. If a fee will be paid, an address will be provided so that a check can be sent.

In-Person Informal Dialogue

For those in the Twin Cities area, please let me know if you’d be interested in an informal monthly gathering in dialogue in St. Paul. If even two or three are interested, I’ll make arrangements and post the meeting time/place.

In-Person Intense Dialogue

If you are in the Twin Cities area or visiting the Twin Cities area, and feel that you’d like an hour of dialogue focused on a matter dear to your heart, contact me through the same process and if a date/time can be arranged, we can meet at no charge or within the fee structure posted for phone dialogue. This does not exclude informal visiting, but is available to those who feels in need of a dialogue focused on their personal situation.

What is Offered

This is not therapy.  It is an offering to Course of Love readers who may not be able to meet in focused dialogue elsewhere.  It is not a service offered in a “professional” to “client” arrangement. It is offered as a devoted hour to join together as equals, to connect, and to explore something that is troubling, confusing, or of deep concern.  It is my belief that through “friendly” dialogue a person’s own inner voice of wisdom can be heard.  It is also my belief that many are now unable to pay for traditional sources of counseling and are often, due to the economic times, feeling isolated and unable to reach out to family or friends. This is the impetus for this offering.

In shared dialogue, there is a natural exchange, personal to personal, soul to soul, spirit to spirit. The fee charged (when in effect) is for the devoted hour rather than for professional advice or direction. Dialogues will always grace me as much as you, and I see each dialogue as a gift of opportunity and connection.
