This is going to be an impromptu entry. I have a snippet of HTML code that I need to publish, and on my iPhone, the only way I can think to do it is with my blog. So here it is… This should appear as a paypal button:
11.11$ Oneness Subscription – 11 months
1.11$ Oneness Subscription – 11 months
Yeah? I hope so! Now… The story behind it.
You may have read some of my rather… Uhm… intense blogging about not getting a 20,000$ Canada Council for the Art grant. In the past, grant denials, have caused me to abandon art project and ideas.
Not this time.
Instead, a hundred times more than ever I am absolutely determined than to manifest the 1Mandala.
Brainstorming our financial situation with the 1Mandala team, we realized that to fund the 1Mandala (a project all about co-creation and collaboration) with a big government grant was, in effect, a contradiction. The 1Mandala is being built because people around the world who resonate with the shared intention– folks who are contributing their bit of energy to make it happen. The 1Mandala is really a grand testament to a whole new way of doing things, of what we can do together when we we share an intention, of what humans across continents and cultures can do– without governments or corporations or celebreties– it’s the symbol of a while new way. “The new face of humanity” as we are saying at 1Mandala.
The brainstorming continued and we decided we must fund the project in the same spirit: Co-creatively!
Dan and Jon and Catalina helped come up with the idea of making a sustainable statement and symbol with a donation. Rather than an open-ended donation, we are asking for precisely 11.11$. In return for making it a reoccuring monthly payment you get a subscription to our 1Mandala Portrait of the Day.
The 1Mandala is all about 1ness of course, and, our goal is to unveil in front of the UN on 11/11/11. A monthly donation (or a single one) for 11.11$ financially and numerically affirms and sustains that intention. Co-creatively.
Beautiful.
Yesterday, I am very happy to say that HT Canada’s core team met and unanimously decided to endorse the 1Mandala each month for 11.11$.
I’ve never been so excited about 11$!
That’s 1!
🙂
