dear internet friend,
if you’ve found inspiration, solace, or delight in this world, I would be honored to recieve a token of your encouragement. your gift allows me to keep pouring my creative energy and time into this ecosystem — as an open, public garden for all.
you can give through the vessels below, or choose your own amount. read a bit more about my donation philosophy, below:
-
while for many years, I’ve also offered courses and creative services, I believe that the highest form of my offering is through sharing ideas, art, guides, and experiences through this digital world — as a practice of unconditional giving.
I’d like to spend as much of my energy and time as possible in making “public” offerings that are open to anyone.
-
I’d be lying if I said that I need your support to help make this work “sustainable,” because I don’t.
I’ve sustained it for a decade, and I’ll continue sustaining it for the rest of my life. I do this work because it sustains me — creatively and spiritually. it feels expansive in a way that working 1:1 with a client — while deeply fulfilling — never could.
your contribution doesn’t go to compensate for my “labor,” nor does it pay my website maintenance fees, or software fees.
I give my work as a gift. therefore, and I’d only want to receive your reciprocity with the essence of a gift.
-
I’m a human being, but I believe that my purpose is to serve an ethos, philosophy, vision, and way of being in the world.
I create in service of the individual creative spirit. I work for the activation of personal power. I want to build a more beautiful world, through manifesting a more intimate and human internet. my real bosses are Truth and Beauty.
this is where your contribution really goes — to help me manifest that vision more into the world.
-
I’m of the philosophy that art is a gift — not that it’s “free,” but that its value is infinite. I believe that ideas are similar.
I don’t know which piece of my world speaks to you. of course, I’d be curious to hear.
but the ethos of a gift isn’t about exchanging A for B. it’s not about getting a product. instead, a gift is a channel to nourish the process that makes it possible.
-
money is a symbolic token — on so many layers of reality. it represents things, and it is represented by things.
I’ve taken the liberty of playing with the idea of money as a blank canvas. I’ll be making art to represent the metaphor of “money.”
in other words — yes, I want the donation experience to feel like art, native to this world.
-
if you’d like to contribute to my work in other ways, you can send me an email — I’d be very happy to hear from you.
