Free to Love

Root System

Just be

Philautia · Muladhara

The first talk exhumes the oldest academic parlor debate in Western civilization — What sets us apart?

Wanting and Needing

Draw and be drawn

Éros · Svadhisthana

Rumi opens the Masnavi with a flute crying for the reed bed from which it was cut. Everyone who hears this song of longing falls silent in deep recognition. We all have asked, How did I end up here? And within that we wonder: What draws us?

Freeing Will

Begin within

Ludus · Manipura

Between wanting and doing, there is a gap. Will lives in that gap — not in the wanting, and not yet in the doing, but in whatever happens in between. How do we choose?

Metronomics

Dance with us

Philia · Anahata

A metronome keeps perfect time. So does a flatline.

Scare City

Be enough

Pothos · Break

There is a city built entirely of shortage.

Hear and Be Heard

Hear and be heard

Storge · Vishuddha

The throat is the narrow place.

The Deep Well

Open Your Eye

Pragma · Ajna

Somewhere in the exact center of the skull — not left, not right, singular in a bilateral architecture — sits a small body shaped roughly like a pine cone.

Aloha

Zoom out

Agape · Sahasrara

The Hawaiians built a whole ontology into their most ordinary greeting.

Entity or Identity

Expose Your Self

Xenia · Crisis

Something ends here.

Love Is the Answer

Remember

Meraki · Vasundhara

Something waits in the moment after a long cry ends.
