Water for ceremonial and #subsistence #gardens was also denied. The court publicly listed nearly 100 #sacredsprings with limits on how much water the tribe was entitled to use for #religious #ceremonies.

In total, the tribe had requested at least 96,074 acre-feet a year of water, and the Arizona #watermaster recommended awarding just 28,988 acre-feet, all of it from the same #depleted, #contaminated #aquifer and seasonal streams the Hopi already use. After four decades, they ended up in the same precarious position they’d started.

Being (like) #water is the new #agile! #ceremonies and #rituals might not necessarily help you build great #software but #chaos and #assumptions will definitely bring nothing to the table.

Yet, custom tailoring agile #methodologies to your #project, based on your #team #dynamics, while introducing a fluid project #management structure to #software #development could give you the agility you need.

Meditations - New Moon & Spring Equinox

You are the microcosm. As the moon & the sun are both reborn, so are you.
Ask your Creators what you need. Ask your Gods for guidance.
It is not painless, rebirth. It is not glamorous. It cannot serve ego, it cannot serve base desire, it can only serve everything.

As the heat of the sun grows in the desert all of winter's flowers will wither and die
Whilst in the north things will only get greener from here

Focus on need, not desire. What do you need? What does your body need?
Rest?
Touch?
Movement?
Nourishment?
What does your mind need?
What does your soul need?
Who do you think you are?
Release your Self into the atmosphere like mist
Become everything
Reborn
Allow yourself to stay as mist, for now
Consider being nothing at all
Nihilism has no place here: being nothing does not mean nothing matters. It all matters. Every action, every synaptic impulse, every cell's expression of energy matters cascading atomic waves through cosmos you cannot fathom
Creation & destruction occurring within you each & every nanosecond you are alive
It all matters.
Acceptance of being nothing is acceptance of being a part of everything

Blessed Equinox & New Moon, everyone. May you discover what you need so that you may find it.

#SweatCeremonies are #returning to the #FirstNations Garden in Montreal's #BotanicalGarden this spring after being put on hold at the start of the pandemic.

The city of #Montreal announced Wednesday that it would make the space available to the #NativeFriendshipCentre for the next three years so it can organize #ceremonies

‘There Is a Real Sense That the #Apocalypse Is #Coming’

A former #evangelical tracks the rise of #white #Christian #nationalism

“I don’t require any #priests, or any other #hierarchy to #police my #actions or #thoughts. #Dogma, #doctrine, #sacrifices and #ceremonies have always been abhorrent to me To me no spot on earth is or could be “#holier” than the one I currently occupy. I hold no illusion that someday #reason will prevail but #hope springs eternal” just sayin

"Sure you were never trained in #Agile, but you've been dragged through Agile #ceremonies for months so you ought to know it by now" is like saying "Sure you never took skiing lessons, but we pushed you off the ski lift and you slid all the way down the mountain so you ought to be able to ski by now."

Albo has a very bad case of the moanies. 😱 #ceremonies

Are #monarcy and #religion only #relics from before #democracy came?

It could appear that they in their era both managed to develop resilient organisations and traditions with convincing #ceremonies, #magic, #symbolism and #myth.

In the process they developed away from actual #military capability and collected great #wealth.

To the extent democracy works, monarchy and religion seems redundant.

This is my new account specifically for offering #Humanist / #nonreligious #weddings and other #ceremonies in #NewJersey.

Boosting this post would be much appreciated as it would help extend the reach of my account and the instance its on.
