Being a nuisance where it counts

Well… that was a very strange weekend. We built Well... that was a very strange weekend. We built our giant @cardboarders workshop at @defqon1, welcomed the first visitors... and then the festival was cancelled due to the extreme heat.

Much love to everyone in the organisation and to all the warriors that had their yearly gathering cancelled. Everything was handled with incredible care and compassion by the organisation!

Heartbreaking to see so much creativity, effort, and beauty go unexperienced. 

We'll be back. ❤️ @cardboarders

In a short and sweet item, we show the heart of what we do: playing, improvising, building, and destroying cardboard characters with anyone who wants to join 🙂

True peace doesn’t come from the outside; it grows True peace doesn’t come from the outside; it grows in the quiet heart that refuses to close. Spending time with James Low is a gift. His words affect me like deep breaths, even in times when the unemphatic, fixated, stupid warmongers rule, we can meet the world with openness instead of fear. Nothing to fix, just seeing clearly and staying open to what arises.

Grateful for James teaching, and  also for the new friends who helped me to get to turkey, understand the teachings and made me laugh many times.
