May we honor the things we do and need to survive. May we open our tight grasp that holds onto the things we don't need. And with open hearts, may be take the risk to stretch ourselves, expand ourselves. How do we make the world a better place? We be better in the world. By speaking truths... By dancing our prayers... By singing from our hearts, for our ancestors, for the Land for each other... By creating space to listen... For this week, or five days if you can't be there for the entire week, we are joined by a remarkable group of teachers and friends:</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',helvetica,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px"><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:10px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;font-size:0.8125em">
