We can learn the art of fierce compassion - redefining strength, deconstructing isolation and renewing a sense of community, practicing letting go of rigid us-vs.-them thinking - while cultivating power and clarity in response to difficult situations.

We learn and grow and are transformed not so much by what we do but by why and how we do it.

Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.

Let the breath lead the way.

My earliest experiences in meditation were in a context of intensive retreats.

I think what we (as a society) need from artists of all kinds is courage, a willingness to explore, and a really big sense of possibility.

Doing nothing means unplugging from the compulsion to always keep ourselves busy, the habit of shielding ourselves from certain feelings, the tension of trying to manipulate our experience before we even fully acknowledge what that experience is.
