Reclaiming Parenting: "Were We Ever Taught the Truth? Part 1

What were we truly taught about parenting, or even about understanding the depths of our own being?

For many of us, the path of parenting has been shaped in silence... by inherited wounds, by unspoken expectations, and by patterns passed down like shadows from generation to generation. We find ourselves carrying stories that never belonged to us — reacting, surviving, performing… but rarely pausing to ask: Is this mine to hold?

Yet within that silence lies a sacred opening, a portal to reclaim parenting as a journey of healing, not just for our children, but for ourselves.

Tonight, we step into that portal together.
Our focus: Emotional Suppression — the quiet force that shapes our choices, our voices, and our children’s future.

You are not alone in this reflection.
We invite you to share your stories, your truths, and your presence.
Because healing happens in community. And together, we rise — for our children, for our ancestors, and for the selves we are still remembering.

Welcome home!

The Parental Mirror - From Trauma to Wisdom

Tonight, Tuesday, September 16, at 8 PM, come and sit with Nini and Ayka for The Parental Mirror: From 'Trauma' to Wisdom.

Vodou Vibrasyon Part 2

Jodi a Manbo Mahlia ak frè Pino pwal pale nou plis sou kisa Vibrasyon Vodou.

 Lè nou di Vibrasyon Vodou, se yon fason pou pale de koneksyon vivan ki egziste ant moun, lwa yo, ak linivè a.

Vodou Vibrasyon Part 1

Kijan nou ka dekri sa nou rele Vibrasyon Vodou? Lè nou pale de vibrasyon nan Vodou, nou pa sèlman pale de son tanbou, chante, ni dans; men nou antre nan yon reyalite ki pi pwofon. Vibrasyon Vodou se enèji ki sikile nan rit, nan pawòl, nan mouvman, epi nan rasanbleman kominote a. Se batman kè zansèt yo ki kontinye fè kò nou ak nanm nou reyaji. Lè nou di Vibrasyon Vodou, se yon fason pou pale de koneksyon vivan ki egziste ant moun, lwa yo, ak linivè a.

Saturday Night Chill- Part 1 Carol Lewis-A poetic promise

Carol Lewis is an artist who uses words like colors and music notes to create poems, narratives and nonfiction work to inform and bring peace and joy to the world.  Her work comes from a place of upholding the power and grace of love and a deep connection with children, nature and the vibrating essence of us. Her curiosity about the world inspired her writings as a child and guided her on a journey of experiences working in law, as a museum curator, editor, art teacher, winner of a national poetry prize, yoga instructor, spin instructor, community youth mentor, literacy coach, author-in-residence and New York City Teaching Fellow. Teaching in the South Bronx became a war to free children from impoverished souls, mind numbing programming and dumbing down of intellect while nurturing the inherent and God given power of intuition and emotional intelligence.

 

Heart work inspired her students to create the Heart to Heart Project to research and record how children experience violence and their commitment to create peace.  They collected over 3,000 paper hearts with short written narratives and pledges from people from all over the world, demanding that the UN uphold its proclaimed intent to protect the rights of children.  While doing so, the traumas of the incarcerated students Ms. Lewis taught were and remain a haunted reminder of the failures of the educational system and the ill nature of society.  Flights of Annie  is a novel celebrating the obligation to discover the work of the soul.  A poetic promise.

 

If you would like to reach Carol Lewis do let us know. Aiybobo!

You are in Control- Being Human is like a Guest House Part 2

Being Human is like a Guest House as everyday you have some Un-invited guest(s): sadness, joy, depression.
Those momentary awareness come as an unexpected visitor.

You should welcome and entertain them all!
Do treat each guest honorably.
He or she may be clearing you out for some new delight.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Take control and invite them and say: "tell all your tales of your wisdoms, maybe you are a messenger from the truth or a guide from within, a silent whispers from the heart
I am listening very deep, and I'm ready for the teachings I know you've come to teach"

Being human is like being a guest house

Every morning when we woke up we should always ready to receive a new arrival/a new guest.

It can be: a joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Do treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight, you never know.

The  joyful or playful ones, the dark thought, the shame, the malice, the sadness meet them at the door laughing, dancing,
and invite them in.

Remember to always be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond to teach you a lesson and to make you look deeper inside of you.

Transformation - A spiritual Journey to Self with AÏYKA

Bring everything up to the surface. Accept your humanity, your animality. Whatsoever is there, accept it without any condemnation. Acceptance is transformation, because through acceptance awareness becomes possible.
--Osho

 

Transformation is not about rising above or transcending, it's about moving through what is and a lot of what isn't pleasant.

It is not a simple process, nor a short or easy one. A mind lost in vague and diffuse state cannot be a searchlight, and therefore is unable to see the hidden contents clearly enough to acquire full knowledge about them.

Spiritual transformation has to do with actualizing potential.

It means learning to make your inner understanding the source of your external actions in the world.

The road calls you forth, and forth you must go, for the path will end only when you have found the answer to question, "Who am I?"
