					<description><![CDATA[Power verses force. What do you have the power to do? Are there areas where you don’t need to force but rather you can go with the flow? We need in this world a place where you can experiment, risk and ask questions. As a freelance dance artist, I have been battered by the winds [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It’s the last day of the residency. The previous night, each of us had, in our own ways, reached out and made gestures, verbal and physical, to continue to restore harmony. And we accepted the gestures, understood them for what they were, and reciprocated. We were creating space for kindness, if not forgiveness. And late [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When presented with a thought or idea that challenges or even changes what we hold to be true, no matter how well we listen, if it doesn&#8217;t affect what we say or what we do, what does it matter? Ultimately you have to own what you say, not what you hear. What we hear can&#8217;t [&#8230;]]]></description>

I feel [&#8230;]]]></description>

The word gratitude has been redefined for me, leaving me a sense of worth and value. That human value, that at times can be lost amongst the noise of life, amongst the quick disrespects [&#8230;]]]></description>

I met incredible people and I feel that we have established a connection of absolute love and mutual acceptance of who we are. My feeling [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Our last night at Culturistan~ I am left with a feeling of melancholy for a variety of reasons. We discussed ways in which this 10-day residency worked, ways it didn&#8217;t work, suggestions for improvement and development for the next class of Culturistanis to come for Class II. A range of emotions and thoughts rose to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Things broke down today. Having led residentials and pilgrimages in the past, I had expected it. But half-way through, not on the penultimate day. Hitting the wall was almost inevitable — here we were, nine of us, miraculously carving out 10 days sandwiched between dizzying travel and professional and personal commitments, thrown together — willingly, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On day 9 of Culturistan, we started off the day attempting to dive into the readings but took a left turn because some of the group felt that the readings and the discussions didn’t incorporate the larger narrative of culture and were generally narrow categorically, so we instead decided to discuss the failings of the [&#8230;]]]></description>

As a fundamental part of the growth of this house, it is necessary to share a dialogue that is nurtured through hearing and speaking.
