Parallax Newsletter #126
Sven Ra, Robert Stamboliev, and O.G. Rose does a 'Joe-Rogan' on Tom Amarque
Tonight: Parallax Poetry Salon #11
This Friday, February 7th, 20h CET
Sven Ra (also known as Joel Dietz) began writing poetry at a young age with his first complete work "Road to Jerusalem" taking Eliot's Wasteland into the 21st cnetury. He later took up the theme of the Return of Eros with a series of "Erotic Incantations," including several fine art shows for his photography and a full length tarot deck. In a separate and subsequent collection he approached the theme of "Stone Codes," or the wisdom of stone gained from global pilgrimages to Avebury to Machu Picchu. More recently he has returned to the sonnet in his forthcoming collection "Broken Sonnets." He is also a musician, novelist, and academic researcher.
Alex Ebert headlined the last session:

G.I. Gurdjieff - Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson

Thinley Norbu - Magic Dance: The Display of the Self-Nature of the Five Wisdom Dakinis
This is a unique and powerful presentation of the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism on the five elements: earth, water, air, fire, and space. In their gross and subtle forms, these elements combine to make up the infinite illusory display of phenomenal existence. Through teachings, stories, and his distinctive use of language, Thinley Norbu Rinpoche relates how the energies of the elements manifest within our everyday world, in individual behaviour and group traditions, relationships and solitude, medicine and art.
