Ceremonies are held at a restricted area of the Navajo Nation where I have been since March 1, 2024 and where I am unofficially authorized to facilitate ceremonies, meaning while law enforcement and officials are aware of my endeavors, personally support them, and won’t interfere, they cannot officially condone my actions or plans due to liability issues, and because for purposes such as this, “permission” comes from Spirit itself. However, to keep those powers who could interfere, should they choose to do so, at bay, immense challenges and obstacles are continually confronted and conquered.
The land is invaluable, meaning there is no maximum limit of its value. It is one of my favorite locations on Earth, where I hope to create life, and, someday, die at. To me the land is a temple and just as precious and sacred as the sacraments themselves. I have done and will continue to do all in my power to protect and perpetuate this temple, in the service of the people and planet, as I did with the sacraments.
The suggested donation reflects the limitless value of the land and magnitude of this endeavor. One goal is to set the suggested donation at zero (free) for Navajo Nation tribal members. The only way this is possible is for outsiders to give equally according to their wealth.
The suggested donation is not the same for everyone, nor should it be. Someone making $50,000 yearly, shouldn’t be asked to donate the same as someone making $500,000 or $5,000,000 yearly. By setting the suggested donation at 1% of the individuals yearly income or net worth, determined case by case, for every 3 days spent here, or .33% per day, we ensure the proportion in which participants give is the same for the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich. A suggested donation that is the same percent for everyone but is also ever-increasing according to wealth or decreasing according to lack of wealth, is one of the fairest systems I could conjure.
