Went to my 1st town hall meeting on Sat night (01.30.16) at Wanderlust Hollywood. It was exciting, interesting, and overall: refreshing.
Seane Corn was there.
She is just so freaking cool -- I can't even describe it/there are not enough words to expres my sincere appreciation for everything that she is. :)
Prince E.A. was there.
It was the first time I had the pleasure of hearing him speak. Wow! What an eloquent man. I am inspired by him.
Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) was there.
Pretty darn cool that a person in congress representing OH came out to CA to engage in a discussion of mindfulness. I wish/hope/pray our CA congresspeople get the memo and will join in next time.
Mike De La Rocha was there.
It was my first time hearing him speak. Wow! He is so knowledgeable about the issue of mass incarceration. I am inspired by him.
Marianne Williamson was there.
It was my first time hearing her speak. She's not my favorite. Very passionate- which I respect, but disconnected in a way. She thinks we abolished white supremecy... this is not true. She lost credibility in my mind/eyes/heart when she said that (and repeated it more than once.)
I am grateful that there are concered and connected yogis taking political action. I definitely want to get involved somehow.
I am inspired by my experience at the townhall meeting. :)
I am grateful that Wanderlust is providing a safe, cinscious space and platform for us to engage with each other, like this.
