Offer a gift

You asked for and/or received a mandala, and feel moved to offer something in return. Below are details for how you can do this.

Why offer a gift

First, why not to offer a gift: Do not offer it out of a sense of obligation or as payment. The blessings, love, and healing that you may find in your mandala are not conditional. You do not need to pay for them or do anything to deserve them other than being who you are.

Offer a gift if you feel gratitude, joy, love or hope when you look at your mandala, and you want to share that feeling. Offer a gift only if you are able to do so, and do so lightly, freely, joyfully – then your gift will bring that joyful, free energy with it into this Mandalas of Hope endeavour and you'll become a co-creator of all the blessings flowing from it.

What kinds of gifts

Take a few quiet moments and check inwardly to see what it is that you feel called to offer. Be open and curious and pay attention to any random, unexpected thoughts popping into your head - it is often how inner guidance works. I'll list some options below, but what arises for you may be something entirely different and that's totally fine.

~ Gift cards from art supplies stores (DeSerres, Michaels) are certain to be put to good use

~ Monetary gifts help me pay for shipping, buy art supplies and make time for painting

~ In-kind gifts can be anything: objects, services, events, stories, help, hugs, food, invitations

~ Donations help spread the hope and healing. Causes close to my heart include Treesisters for Mother Earth; Days for Girls for the girls; Bear with Us for the bears; Reconciliation Canada for healing. You may have your own.

~ Heartfelt prayers and blessings for this Mandalas of Hope endeavour are precious gifts. So is spreading the word.

How to send your gift

Monetary gifts can be sent through PayPal, or if you live in Canada, you could also send money by cheque or e-transfer. Write me an email at mandalasofhope at gmail dot com for the details. As this endeavour is not a registered charity, I am not able to offer tax receipts for your gifts.

Donations to causes can be made directly from the respective websites, linked above. I'd love to hear about it, too.

 

Thank you!!
