Procession for  KALI MA (Black Madonna of the East)   during our Annual  Yo! Yogi Hip Hop Yoga Retreat  By the time the Sanskrit scholars of India set to write down the sacred texts of Yoga, Black Warrior Goddess Kali was already being maligned. European colonial disgust shown for Kali and her worshippers drew from negative characterizations of elite Indian discourse. Any record of the point of view of those “others” who worshipped “The Black One" is sorely lacking from the Vedic and Puranic periods. Kali derives in part from an ancient deity indigenous to the people of Tamil called “Kottavai.” This Goddess rides a tiger, wears a necklace of tiger teeth, and shouts in victory on the battlefield where she comes to kill, eat flesh and drink blood.

I let go of journals that I have had since 2001. (The water element can be as destructive as fire as you can see in the image above) I went from telling the universe I still needed the "cliff notes" on all of the lessons I have learned since 2001 "just incase" to all of the wisdom I need in with me now and easily accessible. Fuggedaboutit! you are the technology you need. Sometimes just REDUCING stuff is enough.  You don't have to do a total overhaul.  For example I had a jumble of medals and pins I had gained over the years from USOPEN, or track meets, or from some event etc.  They were all tied...

: : MATCHAMAMA  : : The Hip Hop Yoga Experience for Earth Warriors HUNTER'S MOON  Fri, October 26, 2018 8-11PM  Zenchai Matcha Cafe 94 Rivington Street NYC A note from one of our current Students at the Mystery Skool: "Hunter's Moon known also as the Travelers Moon, and the Blood Moon. Now is the time when the animals of the forest are at their fattest, livestock is prepared for slaughter, the last of the harvest is canned, preserved, and stored for the cold months ahead. It is also the time of the hunt, and a time for gathering the last of the herbs and roots, before the ground freezes. Throughout history, this has been a time when the needs of the collective are more important than the needs of the individuals. It was the time when all walks of people would come together for survival; both physical and spiritually – so we share our mutual blessings and we offer praises and prayers for those in our extended circle. You may find yourself fee...
