Root System

As part of the Foundry Festival in Cambridge, next week I will be offering a workshop on
Nature Constellations.

We'll be looking into how this practice helps us to improve the human connection with the natural world. All will have the opportunity to do an experiential exercise to expand the felt sense of belonging with nature.

Mon, Feb 19 @ 6-8 pm
The Foundry, 101 Rogers St, Cambridge MA

This will be really wonderful, this Friday at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET.

FROM LARRY:
"The wheel of America’s racial karma rolls on with the thunder of denial and the awakening of truth and clarity.

On Friday I will offer a talk/response to the events that are transpiring in America, followed by a short guided meditation and then silent sitting. Please join me.

Some (especially white) people, in light of what occurred at the capitol, are waking up to a new level of awareness of the existence of white supremacy as an institutionalized reality. Waking up from a legacy of 400 years of denial.

For brown and black and indigenous people, these recent events highlight the pain of our exhaustion. They remind us how long we have been praying and struggling for respect, human dignity and equity in this society while others remain in denial.

This continued heartbreak begs me to ask:

- How long do we want to hold this thing up?

- And as James Baldwin has asked, “Do I really wanted to be integrated into this burning house?” While recognising the investment, the blood we spilled, the tears, and the creativity we’ve invested in this land, while under protest and subjugation the whole time? This is the America’s racial karma from which none of us escapes.

In the wake of events at the capitol, I cried cold tears of truth. These tears were different than tears of sorrow I cried for George Floyd and so many others. These were tears of trauma release, of having the truth so objectively clear for the whole planet. Tears of affirmation of my own experience.

I’m not crazy. This is a system founded in injustice and brutality and violence."
