Butters

Commenting because I also really wanna visit Australia some day 🇦🇺 Perhaps also New Zealand, I've already seen old Zeeland.

Yeah exactly, but it seems to be common practice with resorts. I think there's even an entire volunteering industry where you pay like €1k to help build a school in Africa that they break down again afterwards so the next 'volunteers' can build it again. That's this video: But that's not what I mean lol.

Theft episode would be cool. Let me guess: advertisement and algorithms are stealing your attention 👀

It's just this one though. Like the epstein stuff is the only thing that Alex Jones actually got right, no?

You didn't read properly.

Did it thanks. Why does he at some point start listing every disease? I've never even thought about it. Yes sorry for the confusion. I meant to raise the energy up the spine, same way as you do with kundalini yoga. It really forces it. I've found this video somewhat helpful

How does that move the energy upwards?

I really want to do my kundalini yoga but I can't right now because I'm staying at this hostel that doesn't have a yoga mat. So I need silent methods to raise my consciousness while in a hostel bed or common area. I really need this. Thanks a lot.

Yes but Leo called men who are attracted to Trans women gay, so the discussion became about gender. I just don't see the lines being that clear.

Yes I will when I have the time.

This thread made Leo a big got 😂 But seriously, isn't the distinction between gay and straight historically tied to homophobia? So why use it so fanatically?

@Jowblob let me see if I can be honest here. If I had good income and the clients that I want, where would I live? Would I live at these retreats volunteering or would I stay at a nice apartment and build a social circle? I'd do the latter! So maybe you are right and I came up with the volunteering out of a reaction to not having money staying at hostels. So now what do I do? I don't think it's a bad idea though, as they offer a place to stay, an apprenticeship learning about their operations, and a sense of purpose and community. It motivates me more to apply for those positions than it does finding remote clients.

No. I am currently living as a digital nomad, so I have to pay for my stay. If I can live at a retreat, who is already my audience and the niche I wanna grow into, then that's great. Especially if there's extra time to work on other clients. So helping them with their tech is like an apprenticeship, while also saving on living cost. Yet still maybe you're right. How can I test if you're right?

Idk, maybe Butters is just a pervert 👀 But I'm definitely exploring these things, I have no idea what awaits me.

I'm looking at volunteering at retreats in exotic places, mainly Thailand and some others, to get a place to stay in exchange for labor. I much prefer to offer my tech skills than some general work like gardering or cooking. It ties in with my life purpose as well so it's perfect. But some of these are paid opportunities. Like today I saw one that asks a $45 a day contribution and you still expected to work 30 hours a week for free. Even the Ram Das ashram in Portugal here charge you $450 contribution in order to volunteer for 40 days. Do you believe this to be ethical? It feels like my time is not only being valued low but negative? Yes you are paying for this 'good cause' but cmon 😐
