Sung by a Flicker of Uneven Light:
Exploring Poetry as a Portal
into the Great Mystery
With
Rashani Réa & Keri Sender
Music by Rashani
Sung By the Flicker of Uneven Light, a book published by Rashani a few months ago, is a reminder of the Truth of who and what we are so we can call ourselves by our real name: “inevitable.”
Join us as Rashani and Keri share excerpts from this beautiful book that combines the poetry of John Roedel with Rashani's collages. John and Rashani both embody a subversion to the dominant paradigm and invite us to embrace ourselves wholeheartedly and unabashedly, to love all parts of us and to take the time to decolonize ourselves and dismantle our
disempowering stories.
John’s words and Rashani's art invite and inspire us to explore the endless and profound beauty inside of the "stillness" of this ordinary moment.
A strong and gentle eco-feminist voice in the inter-spiritual movement since 1986, Rashani V. Réa has offered concerts, councils, kirtans, rituals, and retreats throughout the world and at her home in Hawai‘i. Ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh into the Order of Interbeing, in 1991, she has published more than 40 books and has recorded fifteen albums of Soetry (songs and poetry). Rashani is known internationally for her unique Dharma-Gaia greeting cards. She began designing cards with words by Rumi in 1988.
During the past thirty-two years, with the assistance of many retreatants, family members and friends—and with the blessings and encouragement from her Hawaiian kumu—Rashani has co-created two off-grid, multicultural, inter generational eco sanctuaries in Kaʻū where she offers individual and group retreats several times a year.
Keri Shunya Sender unexpectedly migrated from the Big Apple to the Big Island over a decade ago. She lives at Kipukamaluhia, the most recent off-grid eco-sanctuary created by Rashani. She has been facilitating transformative sessions with others for as long as she’s been living on the island. She has a Masters in Clinical Social Work, but her practice has evolved into one that strays away from conventional Western psychology (which often pathologizes symptoms and behaviors) to an approach that believes we each carry our own medicine within us — including in our symptoms and behaviors. She is soon to publish her first book, a collection of poetry entitled Moon Lodge Rememberings.
