Love is Greater Than Fear!

What a week! Such a challenging time in our nation watching in horror as senseless killing seems like breaking news on the regular.  It's almost impossible to wrap one's mind around, let alone keep our hearts open, our words kind, our actions peaceful. As a community let us come together this week to do what we do- hold space for each other to do our work, feel all the emotions that are running strongly within us, shift the energy of fear/anger/hatred into a space of love from where we can channel that energy into appropriate actions individually, as a community, & as a global citizen.

We shall uplift the memory of Alton Sterling & Philando Castille as well as the police officers in Dallas, the families who lost loved ones, and the communities that are consumed by racism, brutality, & hatred as well as a dizzying confusion of not knowing "what to do" or how to be. We shall meditate, practice, sing, sweat, cry... together in our struggle and in our joy we stand each week in our circle of care.

If you have a poem, a song, an art piece to share, a personal expression to offer into our gathering of choosing love over fear, please email me! If you have a drum please bring it :)

Alone our struggle is too large to bear; together we can navigate our fears & the darkness to remember the light of love radiates in the heart of each human (even if people forget we will hold space for them until they remember).

All LOVE,
Dana

"The only thing that has always bothered me about revolution, every time I have seen revolutionaries, they have reacted out of hatred for the oppressor. We must do this for the Love of our People. We must never react out of hatred against those who have no sense."
