Jason Momoa, the 222 Foundation and Giving Money Away
“Joy is not a function of a life free of friction and frustration, but a function of focus — an inner elevation by the fulcrum of choice.”—Hermann Hesse
As long-time readers know, I started the Taz Grout 222 Foundation to carry forward the beautiful world I experienced through my daughter Taz during the 25 years she hung out with me in this physical realm.
To this day, her fierce and loving spirit lives on, propelling me to reach beyond the story I’ve been told is normal.
The stated mission of the foundation is to change consciousness, to creatively awaken to beautiful new possibilities, to move away from the old, tired story that tells us the world is limited and scary.
Because we focus so much on the past, that has-been belief continues to be regurgitated. The news media works in tandem with what we Course students call “the ego” to repeat woeful tales of lack and sickness.
It works so well because most two-leggeds fear the unknown. They believe what we can’t see is scary. They believe death is the end. They believe everything’s finite. Let’s just say, we have normalized a lot of illusions.
The 222 Foundation works to rewrite that story by giving a grant to a person or organization with the vision to create “a new normal.” This year, Taz and I have decided to focus on regeneration projects.
Which is where Jason Momoa comes in. He recently starred in the fabulous documentary, Common Ground. Along with Donald Glover, Laura Dern and Woody Harrelson, the doc offers a radical vision for rewriting our trajectory through regenerative agriculture.
Already, the Taz Grout 222 Foundation has funded a forest of 2222 Trees in India and a regenerative garden, (I LOVE that it’s called Taz’s Hot Dirt) north of Toronto, Canada.
This year, we’re looking for another regenerative project–the more creative, the better. As far as we can tell, nature is our best teacher. It’s working over-time to get our attention, to show us how we can live without fear on this planet we all share.
Thus far, we have three amazing candidates.
But as I always do, I like to open it up to more submissions. We know there are many projects we have yet to hear about. As David R. Hawkins famously said, spiritual progress in one person is limited. But when we do it together, exponential change happens.
And that’s what we’re aiming for—exponential change.
From scarcity to bounty.
From past to yet unknown.
From lack to abundance.
From fear to love. For everyone.
If you know of a regenerative project (regenerative agriculture or some other kind of regeneration), please send it posthaste to the Taz Grout 222 Foundation at taz.grout.222.foundation@gmail.com
And please, check out the movie, Common Ground.
