  • 249.Misconception

    Never in the course of this hunt for destruction does he breathe in that beauty around him. And it causes him one day to finally find himself standing in the surroundings of a desolate and burnt down field, 1s which that fuel for the destruction was that traumatic vocabulary, while in his own eyes, it's believed to be an act of survival on the outside. The truth is, his behavior  was based on the bias in the need to self-protect.  Also, as those traumas build up along our journey, it becomes our task and a need to deeply explore our perception, and ask ourselves questions before we react. Because sometimes survival isn't slowly laying on the edge of the blade. More times than not, true survival lies upon the entire size of the knife.

    So they say the sky is the limit but yet look at our feet because they act as if their anchors hold us firmly to the ground along with being born comes this ability to dream. And over the course of the years that we walk across this earth that collection of dreams helps to shape our goals and build this outline of who we truly wish to become.

  • 245. The story fire

    From one generation to the next the art of storytelling has been passed down. Each one is shaped with lessons and reason. 

     Where we came from our purpose for being here shaped the stories that elders would tell those who gathered around the campfire. 

     This amazing art form was used to help the goals each member of their tribe would strive to reach through their lives. 

     Each individual who sat around the story fire would absorb the reason and morals of these stories with a curious mind.  

     The storyteller always left each member of their tribe with the power to incorporate these lessons into their own story. 

     It was this teaching that built a tribe. The lesson still holds true today. Though a story is made up of one theme there are countless stories that make up the book.

  • 244. The laws of the soul

    As I set out to begin the work that will over time make up the body of work that will become the season number of this project. I can’t help but recall the footsteps that have led me to where I am and shaped me into who I’ve grown into.


     Often I find myself facing situations or even just looking in the mirror and having to honor those shifts within my spirit. Still I also so must acknowledge what is still the same.

  • 243. Page Park on the beauty with songs of grief

    Well, and you are you can only make the music that you can make. Nobody else can do that for you. And 

    it takes all of us making our own music to make a diverse community in a diverse world. And so by 
    singing your song like Cloud did, even though it was sad. 1s You add to everything because he didn't do 
    what everybody else did. He struck out on his own. He created some music himself. He sang what 
    his heart felt. And when we do that, we are true to ourselves and beautiful things begin to happen and life 
    gets magical and unique and we can break away from those should molds and be that. 

    Page Park is the grief yoga master. who used the power of yoga and breath to help her reconnect with herself.  After years of putting everyone else first, she discovered this through her own yoga journey.  When she added yoga asana (physical practice), meditation, and a gratitude journal things began to shift in her attitude and ability to handle anything that came her way.  Page took these tools and yoga teacher training learned through SoulWork to develop programs to help others.

  • 242.The Alaska Úlfhé∂nar on Connecting with nature to find inspiration

    What most of us don’t understand is the influence that spirituality has on our everyday lives. Especially those who believe they have cast aside their subscription to any of these spiritual teachings and practices. However, spirituality is not just “conversations” with some deity figure, it’s so much more. Whether discussing the constant connection we have with our ancestors who have left this realm of existence, or spirits of the lands (for me this is the Landvætti), or other physical lifeforms (such as plants, animals, and other humans) on a spiritual level. This is where I have been taught that I need to be. Providing my clansmen and women an understanding of the influence of their spiritual connectivity with the realm around them.

  • 241.Desiree Argentina on understanding fear

    Fear is something we face all of the time. Which makes it so important to understand and build a healthy relationship with it. This is what makes this conversation with Desiree Argentina such a relevant one.

    Des's background

    Growing up as a multi-passionate person, I was always interested in a lot of different things. I loved movies, I loved animals, I loved volunteering; I was passionate about human and animal rights. I didn’t really know how to get where I wanted to go. I didn’t know how to implement the things that I loved until I went to college and was exposed to different classes and clubs. I didn’t know what I wanted to do at first, so I got my associate's degree in general studies but just going to college opened my eyes to a lot of different opportunities and options I didn’t know existed.
