Have a conversation to make sure we're a fit.&lt;br /&gt;2. Agree on a one-day or weekend workshop from my offerings, and plan dates, times, location and logistics.&lt;br /&gt;3. Promote the workshop primarily, but not exclusively, to your community, members and other supporters and stakeholders.&lt;br /&gt;4. Hold the event.&lt;br /&gt;5. I write you a check for half of the net proceeds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why am I doing this? &lt;/strong&gt;Not because I'm wealthy and can afford to give away half of my income. I'm doing this because I believe deeply in the work I do, and sharing my income accomplishes several things:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First&lt;/strong&gt;, the 50-50 offer attracts the attention of folks who might otherwise not hear of what I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second&lt;/strong&gt;, each time I facilitate a workshop, participants are exposed to an &lt;a href="http://www.integraljourneys.com/philosophy.html"&gt;integral perspective&lt;/a&gt; that provides them with an insightful experience of the lenses through which they view and behave in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Third&lt;/strong&gt;, each workshop provides income for the host organization and for me. I get to do what I love, your organization receives needed funding, and participants gain insights into their lives and worldviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who Am I, and Why Should You Trust Me?&lt;/strong&gt; Good questions. Call me at 203-723-1421 and get some first-person answers--ask me whatever comes to mind, and I'll be happy to respond.
