New Post Alert!
Confronting the farce of conscious consumerism, this week's dharma talk became a journey into stark reality. As an Ashtanga Yoga teacher, I grappled with the hypocrisy of our consumption patterns. From the Washington Post’s strike to Kristen Krash’s @suenodevida_ecu radical shift in Ecuador, these contrasting scenarios reveal the deep chasm between minor lifestyle changes and true liberation from consumerism. Acknowledging Carl Jung’s wisdom, we explore the unavoidable pain inherent in our societal system. This article delves into making conscious, albeit limited, choices while fostering compassion for our constraints. It's a candid exploration of the struggle to find balance in an imperfect world.

••.
I completely reject the idea that I am broken or
disordered because the DSM pathologized the
way my brain works because it doesn't
conveniently fit into capitalistic and
neuronormative expectations.
Is adhd disabling? Of course, and for some
more than others. I'm not trying to take that
away.
But I wholeheartedly believe the problem is
that we expect every human to function, think
& act a certain way rather than getting curious
about how to build a world that supports
neurodiversity.
