  • Balancing on a thread in this current election cycle
  • Death / Renewal in nature as an example of what may need to occur in America
  • Having deep solidarity with the cultures who have been dominated and occupied
  • Letting go of expecting the world to be different than it is
  • The human urge to be comfortable even at the cost of discomfort for other groups
  • Colonization as an intense dissociation and disconnection from our hearts
  • Becoming embodied and adjusting to our own cultural narratives
  • Trauma, loss of memory, and control
  • How the patriarchy has systemically limited the ability for deep emotional labor
  • Fear of death as the root of all fear
  • How crisis can give rise to collaboration and grace
  • Considering the gifts we can offer to the world

"Everyone needs to be free. Everyone needs to have access to the resources they need to be well, safe, and happy. You don’t have to earn a right to be fed and housed and cared for and clothed. This isn’t about the nature of your character, this is about the fact that you are human living in culture and society, and as a society we should care for one another.” – Lama Rod Owens
