Bugling by Tule elk (Cervus canadensis ssp. nannodes) 

Tule elk are majestic animals found only (endemic) in California.  During European settlement, they were hunted to near extinction as their entire population was reduced to an estimated 5 survivors that managed to find refuge.  California passed legislation to protect Tule elk and they survived the brink of extinction to grow to a population of over 4000 today, although they still struggle as a result of habitat loss due to overdevelopment.  Together we can protect the fauna and other inhabitants we that we this share this small planet with. May we all come alive.



LYRICS::

Art is long, time is fleeting
Don’t miss the heart that’s beating 
Cast your love into something you feel strong
Lessons learned. take your turn
Don’t give up and don’t get burned
From the growing piece of wisdom in your heart

Oh moon, oh moon, we sing to you
If we only knew…
Oh moon, oh moon, we sing to you
If we only knew what we could do -
(Maybe then I’d be in love with you)

Life is short, time is fleeting
So don’t miss the heart that’s beating,
Cast your love into something that feels strong.
The world doesn’t need anybody 
to resist the calling thunder
what it needs is for you to come alive.

Come Alive (ft. Cello Joe & Yogi Prateado)

Through sharing personal stories and confronting stereotypes surrounding Black Rock City, Mike invites you to attend Burning Man and ask -- What Does This All Mean? Music by Stefan Mac.

625: More insights on health and well-being with Dr. Erica Middlemiss

"Sexuality has been one of the most misunderstood and misused energies on this planet. Ever since patriarchy took root and began dominating our cultural myths and stories we have witnessed a great imbalance between the sexes. The story of Eve tempting Adam in the Garden of Eden is perhaps the that underpins of collective reality in the West. This story is all about our collective fall from grace into this 3D separation-fear-control Matrix. In this story, the feminine was to blame for our exit from Paradise. Steadily, as we have gone deeper into the polarity of 3D, feminine energies, such as love, tenderness, relating, nurturing, intuition, imagination and birthing have been seen as inferior to the more masculine qualities of reason, logic, focus, competition and action. This has happened in almost every culture across the planet. This inferior/superior way of thinking has effected sexual relationships ever since. Matriarchy, which dominated human cultures for thousands of years, was far less dangerous but in terms of our collective evolution not that much better. Where we are heading, I believe, is a balancing of power within our personal and collective psyche. This balancing within sexual relationships will lead to a new alchemy, one some have called the sacred marriage. This harmony of power has never happened within our collective memory. This is an inner marriage where the masculine and feminine energies learn to work together cooperatively rather than act like a divorced bickering couple. This cooperation is one of the aspects of the coming 5D paradigm on earth."
