Bury Your Treasure or...
For the youth, I suggest a piece of graph paper like pixels and design a patch you can embroider later or ask someone to do it with your instructions. If you don't have defeceits of attention, read on.
Keep a bit of your Last Will and Testament for yourself, with a deathwish.
In the spirit of mirth and reverence, and a nod to the generations to come, from whom we borrow this Earth and these nourishments She provides via the Gaia Hypothesis and other strategies for being whole in the biosphere...
Let's collaborate on some anthologies. Maybe they are crazy quilt squares if you are nonverbal. Maybe they are bits of costume upcycled from scraps, if you like to advertise your beliefs and values. Maybe they are actual coins and collectables from the past that you wish to have in your casket at the wake or however you celebrate that in your family tradition or choices you've made. Maybe it is literal pages of text hand written or typed that express your truth.
I would like to do a bookbinding workshop to capture glossy colour images of these, and various other ways of making it look beautiful for hardcover but handmade. I am requesting supplies are eco-friendly, and have sourced several bulk companies locally that provide such services for packaging, binding, printing, ink provisions, and more. I have a budget ready, if the money comes my way from an art grant, and will get started with whomever likes to provide content. The Internet is not the only place to do this multi-media, mixed-media collaborative work. In person is nice, but impossible it seems, at the present moment, and so, in the spirit of "you provide a bit of art supplies, I fix it all up nice for us and start handing them back to whoever contributed something" we can have a reciprocity until I'm funded. I will teach techniques in paper making, book binding, or other ways - if necessary. I encourage you to access your own ability to share wisdom, even if the recipes and directions are in the pieces you provide for the anthologies.
Let me know how best we can serve our community. I still do community service and I know people who love to collaborate and have access to better resources than I currently have here. What do you need in order to make history for the future about our time now? Let's get going on it.

If all goes well, Earthships will be the time capsules and we will terraform places that need medicines and food but have drought and other issues.
I'll revamp the actual budget below later, just hold on because it's a whole business plan at the moment, not specific to the first simple bookbinding workshop.
