One City

Sentient City: The Art of Urban Dharma, Vol. 3 We are now accepting literary, visual arts, and music submissions for Sentient City: The Art of Urban Dharma, The Interdependence Project’s online arts magazine. The theme for Volume Three is “Past, Present, Future.” Two additions to this edition will be our new Film link (guidelines forthcoming)…

This is going to be a short post and I apologize for that. I’m under deadline for an article I’m writing, and since the ID Project is blowing up, there’s a lot of work to be done to make sure that our awesome new nonprofit develops its awesomeness for the benefit of a few sentient…

I’m very excited to be starting this *new* year with a *new* job, teaching yoga at an all-girls school in the Lower East Side. In preparing for the classes, I’ve been scouring bookstores, the net, my friend’s minds for innovative ideas to keep the class interesting enough for the students who wish their “progressive” school…

And any trip to another country always highlights that for me–with halogen highbeams, actually. My brother and his wife and my husband and I spent a week in Eire,…

And if you’re reading this, whether you’re here in New York or elsewhere in Dharma Land, chances are you could use a little post-holiday giving to warm your heart. To that end, I hereby propose the first round of a…

By Stillman Brown For Christmas, one of my several thousand close friends gave me The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs. It’s about one man (an editor at Esquire) who attempts to live for a year by following the literal word of the Bible (8 months to the Old Testament and the remainder to…
