towards economic solidarity
How can we create economic safety and engage with economic justice?
Economic justice, just as much as any social and political practice, is mostly based on trust, accountability and community. Inspired by the work of Alexis J. Cunningfolk, all my services are on a Sliding Scale base (with some services being donation-based).
Using this system allows me to meet my needs, and my guidance and support to be always accessible and open.
Why I call payments “investments”: To pay for something it’s a passive action. It ends with its ownership. You are not paying for a finished product; you are investing in making time and space for yourself. You are devoting that financial investment and energetic exchange into a journey that will support you from within, like a tree bearing fruits after years of care.
How does it work? Under each reading, you will see two amounts. The highest investment is the full recognition of my time, skill and dedication. Not only it allows me to meet my needs (shelter, food, care), it also allows for others who might not have the same financial access at this time, to still benefit from my consultations. Where you place yourself on the scale depends on your honest assessment of your current financial means. It’s not about money but rather the intention behind your investment. It demands us to look at our relationship to money, worth, value, trust, and also shame at times. It’s a gesture of mutual aid, where the needs of everyone are valued, and we try to meet them at the best of our abilities, knowing that it’s a group effort, rather than a “single payment”. It also means that investing on the lower end of the scale, while there is the economic privilege to do more, actively takes away access from people who truly needs it.
To help you understand the sliding scale, please use the Green Bottle method drawing underneath here.
International currency exchange: All investments are in GBP, which is my bills currency at the moment. Following the same sentiment of the sliding scale, I trust an honest approach from anyone who is looking to work with me. I trust that no matter where you are, you are willing to recognise if you are financially stable enough to meet the exchange rate with a peaceful heart. If that is not the case, then please trust that will not turn anyone away. As we will be exchanging emails before investment, please be open with me, and I will be more than happy to welcome a sliding scale based on your home currency, without exchange.
