Another amazing film that played at the festival was When I Stutter. Yogis, we know this film has nothing to do with moksha or traveling to India, but it is one of the most touching films we have ever seen. If you know someone who stutters, or even if you don’t but you want to learn more about what it is like to embody this speech disorder, this film will bring you to tears...

I met Bibi McGill at the Arise Music Festival in Loveland, Colorado after her DJ set where she spun the world from her fingertips and it landed in our hearts. I instantly recognized her as a modernized version of the Hindu goddess Saraswati as she effortlessly (so it seemed) created a flowing mix of world beats...

It allows us the safe space to confront some of the things that we have been guarding against by using or drinking. And for me there is so much more healing in that. The discharge of trauma stored in up your body. More than any therapy or anything else.

The tantric view here is that in ‘ordinary’ life, the life-force works to direct our attention outwards through the senses and perceptual apparatus, which gives us the experience of separation from others and the world...
