How the Occupy Movement Can Deal with Conflict.

by Michael Stone (Centre of Gravity) on May 22, 2012

When you are angry—don’t do anything, don’t say anything. Find your breath, practice yoga and find out what you feel. Underneath what you feel is creativity. But don’t put up the invisible, idealistic Ghandi shield—which when it is only philosophical, gets nothing done. Anger is not bad.

Girls Girls Girls. ~ Lindsay Friedman

by elephantjournal.com on May 22, 2012

If I had a diary, this show would be the television version of it. Eccentric women thoroughly enjoying their 20s, with wacky jobs and lively sex-capades. This show will give you every reason to laugh at all your misadventures. I am into episode six of the HBO’s hottest television show, Girls, written by the 26-year-old [...]

The Legacy of Gay Zen Monk, Issan Dorsey.

by Bernie Glassman on May 21, 2012

In my experience, many people come to Zen practice because they love the stories of Zen masters from long ago. They love reading about outrageous teachers who said strange things and acted in even stranger ways, seeming like children, fools, and even madmen to the rest of society. It has also been my experience that [...]

Naked & Painted in Central Park, NYC. {Nudity}

by Kim Stetz on May 14, 2012

Having my entire body painted and being naked in Central Park is far more my style and essence than being a bride. Go figure. I am a New Yorker and I fully embrace my wild side, creative side, quiet side, upside down side and right side up side. All kinds of new experiences that day. To me that is what life is all about – experiencing.

I Found My Zen in NYC.

by Rina Jakubowicz on May 14, 2012

A couple weeks ago I had the “F&*k-it! I-gotta-get-out-of-here” moment and the first place I thought of, or rather my intuition connected with, was New York City. In fact, it felt like I was being called by Mr. NYC himself and he was sounding like an angry boss saying, “Where the heck are you? You’re supposed to be up here!” So that’s exactly what I did. Within 48 hours I had my flight booked and my hotel reserved.

Climate Change, The Great Barrier Reef & Lots of Yarn. ~ Heather Topcik.

Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef “…is dedicated to the poetic and aesthetic dimensions of science, mathematics and the technical arts.” In 2005, in response to news that the Great Barrier Reef was under grave threat from global warming and environmental pollutants, the sisters decided to recreate the Reef in fiber to draw attention to its fate.

I’m Cheating on my Bacon with my Tofu. ~ Jess Bender

by elephantjournal.com on May 11, 2012

Confession: I don’t have the perseverance or willpower in me to ever go vegetarian, let alone vegan. Drool-worthy fish tacos, miso-glazed salmon, and bacon-wrapped-anything are my current foodie obsessions, and you can never let me part from any of them. That being said, I adore and appreciate stellar vegan cooking.

My First Yoga Journal Conference. ~ Indira Ganesan

by elephantjournal.com on Apr 30, 2012

Globalization Isn’t Just for Economists.

by Andrew Cohen on Apr 27, 2012

So, in my talks, which many young Indians did attend, I found myself in the odd position of explaining to them that India’s great gift to the world has been her rich spirituality and that her greatest luminaries have been powerfully enlightened men and women who all, in one way or another, courageously bucked the status quo in pursuit of their own higher development.
