“To me, reparations are about the pleasure of giving back, the pleasure of getting on your knees and giving back, giving back the land, giving back the breath, giving back the water, giving back power to those who are in right relationship with place, giving back and over listening.”

This is an invitation into the pleasure of reparative action through resource. To resanctify money, to let money be a practice and prayer in atonement, to restore the ecological imperative of reciprocity.
At BAKINE, we offer the prayer below to close any meetings connected to the financial aspect of our studio. We invite you into this prayer with us. Donations received will go towards supporting our programs, our Sabbath Trust, and our team and collaborators’ time. You can read more on what you’re contributing to here.
PRAYER TO ALCHEMIZE RESOURCE
Creator, we give thanks for your blessing us beyond measure…for the many blessings you have showered us with through meeting our needs and more, through honoring a holy diligence to redistributing what we can, through entrusting us with resource to show up to our community and to the land.
Thank you for gifting us the responsibility to be righteous stewards of the resources you bless us with. May we resanctify our own relationship to money through this practice. May we undam stuck resources, hoarded through violence, that seek to flow. May we offer love, healing, psychic freedom and exhale through money as alchemy.
We humbly ask for the continued wisdom to be disciplined and principled with how we care for the resources you bless us with. May our relationship to integrity be a loving, guiding mother and companion on our journey.
We thank you, we thank you, we thank you. Asé.
Thank you to our supporters!
We are so grateful to our major donors at The Kalliopeia Foundation for believing in this work! And thank you to all our individual donors for your trust and support of this practice. We are so grateful. May the gift return to you.
