Why donate?
We offer our programs at minimal cost for participants, who are coming of age in challenging economic times. Your donation will provide scholarship funds for a select few participants and help to cover operational expenses for the duration of our programs.
Your contribution will also have ripple effects. We developed our programs with the assumption that a better world is both possible and collectively desired. We firmly believe that the metacrisis is an initiatory gateway to cultural evolution and the birth of the Planetary Era, which will be characterized by sustainable prosperity, human dignity, social flourishing, and planetary wellness. But the successful navigation of this initiatory threshold requires individuals who have successfully navigated their own initiatory journey.
Thus, we see supporting the inner and outer development of younger generations as one of the greatest leverage points for ushering in this new age. We operate from the direct experience that profound change and empowerment — indeed, regenerative transformation — happen when we connect directly with that which sustains us (the biosphere or Living World) and when our true self is deeply seen by peers and elders.
We see the metacrisis as the cumulative result of a loss of rites of passage, with the world now dominated by uninitiated adults. As such, creating authentic rites of passage experiences is an integral part of healing the larger Earth community and regenerating life-giving cultures.
Your contribution is an investment in the creation of a more beautiful world.
“One world is now gone and a new one has yet to emerge; we are now at the beginning of the beginning. We are living in the liminal: a time of pure potential and change, a time between worlds. This is it: we have arrived at the end of the world. Finally. Now we can start to build a new one.”
