More On Transactions & Reciprocity

In the November 12 and November 8 newsletters I shared my thoughts about transactions and reciprocity in my work.
As I continue to ponder, I have realized the traditional business model of the colonized labor system built on exploitation, efficiency and competitiveness doesn’t work for me. Who’s surprised by that? 🙄🙄🙄
And it’s not for true kinship for animals at all. True kinship is a vessel of change that offers a vision and perspective from the future, not one that is marooned in the present, defined by archaic colonized systems.
How can this work be measured in those terms? Tell me the going rate these days for engaging with spiders…. 🕷️
What are your thoughts on this, do you have something you’d like to add? If you care to share, just click the button.
True kinship is:
Recognizing animals are more than ‘just an animal’
Relating to animals through a new place of understanding
Reimagining a new way of being with animals
When we work together in reciprocity, what you’re actually doing is supporting the creative process of bringing the vision of true kinship into the present.
Are you ready to practice reciprocity? If so, simply click the button. Thank you!
