“There is nothing we fear more than our authentic emotional state - our suppressed fear. anger and grief. We say and do anything to sedate and control these out of our awareness.
Yet, what is an addiction? The phonetics of the word contain a revelation about this state, as well as the keys to our liberation from it. What is our ‘diction?’ It is the way we speak = our way of verbally expressing ourselves.
When we are unable to speak our truth- unable to express ourselves authentically, in the moment we are required to - we ADD something to replace our inability to initiate authentic DICTION. This addition, whatever it is, becomes our addiction. ADD + DICTION = addiction.
The moment we are able to express ourselves authentically is the moment we liberate ourselves from the trappings of this inauthentic experience. To accomplish this requires growing up emotionally. The moment we are able to emotionally lean upon ourselves, we no longer need crutches” Michael Brown .

It’s time to feel everything ❤️
The more society loses touch with the humanness of our shared humanity, the more we need to be awake. ????
AND I have discovered, the more you absorb yourself into the mystery of life, the more wonders it reveals ????✨.

“A People’s Art Is The Genesis Of Their Freedom” Claudia Jones (Pioneer @nhcarnivalldn )
.
Sunrise began with a donkey cart wheeled out to honour the donkeys of Gaza who carry life through the rubble. A stage for instruments made from scrap metal, painted with flags of Palestine, DRC Congo, Sudan & Carribean countries. This year’s J’Ouvert was not just a living embodiment of the historical resistance of Africans’ fight for freedom but an opportunity to display solidarity and raise the vibration of mass condemnation of global genocides.
.
Back when African drums were banned by colonial authorities, the silence was broken with new rhythms invented from bamboo, tins and the discarded steel oil drums. “Riddims of Hunger” was the name for this year’s response to ongoing atrocities.
.
When all our hearts are breaking, the percussive visceral act of Carnival carries our care to those who need to know we’re campaigning for them. Carnival is about taking back power to harness creativity to become an active force and encouragement in this broken world.
.
When I see Racist comments trailing and trolling down @sadiq ‘s coverage of Carnival, I just want to scream at the spiral of polarisation and misguided misinformation. Carnival is an education on the historical truth of how Capitalism was created on plantations from violence and theft at the expense of humanity , whilst heads were turned. Where are we now………………
.
“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph “ Haile Selassie .

Carnival is COMMUNICATION and COMMUNITY ❤️
Favourite person, favourite fête of life ????????.

Summer Camp ????????????.

Here is a perfect demonstration of a peaceful practice in breath awareness using a Hoberman Sphere in a group. Each little hand moves in momentum, to sync into one collective calming breath, whilst eye contact flickers recognition in making new friends ????????
.
August means the final countdown to @nhcarnivalldn and I annually visit @tropicalislescarnival Summer Camp @c.a.m.p.carnival_ldn to sprinkle some yoga to the mix. The children come together to take part in Carnival Arts, dance, choreography, sports and all the extra-curricular social/emotional development of being in a new environment, rhythm & routine. ????????.
.
The future is their future. Future peace-makers are learning peace-breath, conflict resolution and collective care ❤️

Hands that had woven willow wicker for over a year.
Hands that practiced and played steelpan.
Hands that choreographed and danced a Hogarthian Rave.
Hands that swished hankies, clapped and clashed sticks.
Hands that stitched political banners and waved flags for freedom.
Hands that elevated an inflatable Venus and quarried stones.
Hands that printed tattoos “Love is Enough”.
Hands that held others in support, recognition and nurturing of different needs,
Hands that wiped away tears for our collective hearts breaking at the state of the world.
Hands that embraced, hugged and honoured our shared humanity.
Hands that crafted this beauty to open us up to Joy, just for a day.
Hands that felt the truth of the value and urgency of that which unites us, over what devides us.
Tonic for these times.
Smiles tasting salt tears. Bittersweet. Beautiful.
Bless up @jeremydeller .
