DULOT
- Dulot means gift or sacrifice.
- Dulot is grounded in a Bikol cultural understanding of sustaining ourselves with generosity– we offer a gift, and in turn a gift will be offered to us. I offer accessibility as a gift, and then invite others to give back according to their level of ability. Part of understanding the gift of accessibility is being transparent that the classes, sessions, or gatherings I offer cost about $250-300 per hour in regards to my time, labour, and training. Though the classes and RPG sessions are on a sliding scale basis, donations are still gratefully accepted for the free gatherings and other community offerings (such as some of the healing work I offer for free to Filipinx and marginalized communities). Donations can be made through Paypal (https://paypal.me/lukayo) or e-transfer at lukayo.estrella [at] gmail.com, and I can also send you a chart showing a recommended gift amount based on your income range if that would be helpful. Gifts can also be in the form of barter and trade. Please contact me at urbananito [at] gmail.com to discuss forms of energetic exchange that would be sustainable for all beings involved.
- I am also influenced by the gift economics model of the East Bay Meditation Centre that was modelled when I took the Practice in Transformative Action program.
- Lastly, as part of dulot, we give thanks and blessings to all other-than-human beings who have also supported the offerings.
