Laughing Tree is, at heart, a Ministry. As such, all individual sessions are now by donation. For everything we do, there is an energetic exchange and a giving of value. It is important that this exchange be clear, easy, and beneficial to everyone involved.

The list of suggested donations (below) is based on the going rates of similar sessions. There is also a wish-list of potential barters. As ever, no one with a sincere wish to come more deeply into wholeness and health or who is dedicated to the journey of evolution and transformation will be turned away for lack of funds. Based on your own sense of the value of the session, your own natural gifts and abundance, make an offering in exchange for what you receive here.
Moreover, in the spirit of the growing number of organizations such as yoga studios that are becoming donation only, this is a radical statement of trust and support. If you find the services offered here to be of use, spread the word, and support the ministry. This is, indeed, the way Laughing Tree supports herself in the world—this where food, shelter, clothing, and tools of the trade are made possible. It is through your material support that this offering is possible and sustainable.
Thank you.
