What is the Gift Economy?
The gift economy is based on the idea of trust, gratitude, and non-judgemental reciprocity. It relies on building a culture of interconnectedness, which is very ecological and very Feldi, and something acutely lacking in this world… so every bit counts!
Robin Wall Kimmerer describes it beautifully in this essay and in her latest book, The Serviceberry.
As my concern for climate change, social justice, and physical & mental wellness grows, I find myself increasingly at odds with the greed, extraction, isolation and "other-ing" inherent in our modern culture. So, I am trying something different.
If we brought generosity & gratitude to everything we use, we would need less and have more, and the world could be a more interconnected, joyful, healthy and trusting place.
All flourishing is mutual.
Let's measure success by how much we SHARE instead of how much we keep.
Gift Economy Donations
As an experiment in abundance-thinking, I am offering my classes for FREE as a sharing of my gifts. In reciprocity and gratitude, I ask that you share by donating. I suggest giving as much as you can without feeling regret or resentment, however much that is for you. No judgement. No baggage. Just gratitude. Thank you!
I encourage you to generously share your gifts with the world, in whatever way they manifest.
