Each week, Cynthia will enthrall you…

    In conversation with Hong Gwi-Seok, a friend I met through the Iyengar community who recently moved to the Hawaiian Islands. We are both Scorpio suns and so are able to drop quickly into deep subjects. And, we both have an interest in individual spiritual practice as a vessel for societal and cultural change. We talk about what home is for people whose ancestors left their indigenous home. We may have come to the conclusion that home is where our ferments are? Perhaps those microbes are the best decolonization tool we have. You can find Gwi-Seok on her blog at stillinsirsasana.blogspot.com.

    Are we the automatons of Hobbes worldview, separate beings competing for finite resources? Or, are we infinite, powerful, creative, beings in a shared, connected field or dream. What happens when we create an external "other" and fixate on it as being evil? On the other hand, are we colluding with the shadow when we don't act and stay silent?
