Risks & Challenges
Part of the challenges we face is that due to the nature of the life we lead, much of our time is spent in service of healing work. Typically much of our work is offered as an exchange for accommodation or food. Money has never been the priority with this work, however it is required to navigate and exist in the modern world. Both Dave and Ronan have been based in Costa Rica for some time, enjoying the nature and different approach to life. Living in centers all over the country doing work in exchange for being able to take part in the workshops and events happening here or living in simple rustic wooden cabinas with less outgoings meaning we can put time into being creative. The combination of Jungle humidity and technology is a challenging one, sound cards breaking, laptop malfunctions, mody lenses, headphone cables breaking and shorting out cameras. Sand in tripods, guitars wood damaged by weather. Technology on dusty bumpy roads leads to a situation where replacing, repairing and acquiring more gear is ongoing. This crowd funder will allow us to get the equipment we need. It will also allow us to be supported through our work so that hunting for other work not in line with the best we can offer does not take up our time. Costa rica is a beautiful and advanced country in many ways but does not have easy access to the latest technology and in fact technology that is somewhat outdated costs more than the newest gear in the US. We hope to use this platform to allow us to be in a situation where we feel support and able to be our higher selves. As well as benefiting further projects. We are hoping to manifest some transport in the shape of a car rather than hitching down roads in the rain! Maybe a trip to the dentist... simple things :)
Other Ways You Can Help
If you are not in a position to contribute financially that is totally fine and believe me we understand the situation! We all want to be in a position to give freely but for many of us that is not our current reality. You can support us in other ways:
Sharing our project and helping us to reach a wider audience is hugely helpful, it spreads the message and helps us grow and the more we grow the more we can support each other.
Facebook, instagram and other social media platforms are huge tools for world change when used in the right way.
We are open to Cryptocurrency, part of huge shifts on the planet. Send us a message for our codes, even a small amount of a new currency could grow into something significant so whatever you can offer is gratefully received.
You can also simply enjoy the music we have already recorded totally free! And if you feel to you can purchase some of the tracks now at:
