we’re open to feedback and discussion around these matters!
in end-stage capitalism, “financial security” is a constantly shifting goalpost, by design.
when scarcity is the point, and resources rapidly exploited & depleted in the name of profit,
security is the myth that keeps us investing our time, energy, and value in the scarcity machine.
within this context, “financial security” ultimately becomes a socially-acceptable euphemism for wealth hoarding or maintaining so tied to capitalism’s success that you’re unable to genuinely pursue collective liberation.
material privilege in a colonized world is just another way of saying theft, whether personal or familial, and that must be intentionally deconstructed and distributed in order to genuinely engage with tru morality or any type of spirituality we’re about.
rather than seeking out an intentionally-impossible-to-maintain “financial security,” we seek out community committed to keeping one another fed, sheltered, and loved as we cultivate futures separate from capitalist concepts of success and safety.
beyond our static identities that make us targets for state violence and incarceration, we’re also transient, homeless, unemployed, uninsured, living outside of the US and not receiving (explicit) support from the state.
we continually and materially shift away from capitalist frameworks, as we extract ourselves from the American project which rests upon our labor & death—instead directing our beautiful, expansive lives & energy into more sustainable futures rooted in integrity. we’re experimenting with models of living that don’t require constant investment into violence & empires
our person-to-person offerings—by way of divination, peer support, community-building & communal education spaces—are funded by our community
we provide these offerings in exchange for support in meeting our material needs as we pursue holistic liberation for ourselves and our community. we do not have outside income, nor do we seek conventional employment. Cosmic Healing is our anti-capitalist model & practice for sustainable labor towards collective liberation.
these scales are need-based to account for the variance of experience in those seeking our offerings.
they are not an invitation for someone to decide how they choose to value our work.
we ask that folks consider the pervasive societal and historical devaluation of divination and peer support—
as well as the pervasive societal and historical devaluation of our very beings, bodies, and labor as Black people, when calculating their compensation.
we set these income levels as folks who have never made >40k in a year
