It happened this afternoon. I was with three under 24 year olds — 1 under 20 — and I realized how impressed I was with the things they were saying, the awareness they had (of themselves and the world around them) and the absolute utter difference I perceived between their relationship to the world around [...]

As a professional performer who is always doing photo shoots, I am very grateful for the ways in which I’ve taken care of my face over my 40 years. Here are some of the thoughts I have on why my skin looks as good as it does for my age — aside from the generic [...]

Sister Unity begins, “Well of course I’m strange. That’s the whole point.” I particularly enjoyed the first portion of this video because the message was, IMO, a powerful reminder of how both being in our stability and allowing ourselves to step out of our comfort zone is, in fact, a gift to our development and [...]

Because I want all these cool photos to rotate in the cool iris widget on the right, I am creating a series of entries that are index to the original article which contain the photos from the Chronicles of GlitterGirl from 2006. It’s inspiring enough to want to make me do another series of the [...]

In preparation for the December 11 Union Square show, I’m running a fire dancing performance class with 21 students. We’re holding the class at The Palace of Fine Arts under this really beautiful dome. Seems like a good place to hold a practice, rain or shine, right? Well, it seems like it, but in reality, [...]

My good friend Jason has lots of I.D.E.A.s he shares through his work at the Institute for the Development of Evolutionary Awareness. He has been a tremendous gift in my world and helped me acquire many of the distinctions fundamental to both my work and my lifestyle. Todays headline is for him and his IDEAS [...]

When people saw decompress on my head, they mistakenly thought it was in relation to Burning Man, which I did not attend this year. Subsequently, they asked, “How can you be decompressing from an event you didn’t even attend?” I thought that was funny. And, while I didn’t go, up until a week before, I [...]

On this the 5 year anniversary of 9/11, I still believe we fundamentally need something different in terms of how we as humans interact if we are to survive and thrive as a race. I recently re-read this article about the war in Iraq by Ken Wilber and really resonate with his vision of how [...]

I was so happy to receive the really awesome bindis Vladlen got for me when he was away in India. In addition to those, I met a beautiful woman who was here from Bombay. She traded me some of these bindis for some poi lessons, so between the two new stashes I received, I was [...]

This was the inspiration for the November shaving… heehee…
