Everything we offer is sustained by generosity.
This is an economy of generosity — where practice and action are supported by community.

Anger isn’t the enemy — self-centeredness is. When ego fuels anger, it divides. When the self loosens, anger transforms into determination rooted in compassion and justice. Bearing Witness lets us feel the heat without being consumed, so wise action can arise. #BearingWitness

Hope can quietly bind us to expectations. When we respond to life as it is — not as we wish it to be — space opens for honest action and real connection. Letting go of hope isn’t despair; it’s awakening right where we are. #BearingWitness

Street Retreats invite us to step into lives often unseen.
Participants spend a week on the streets —
seeking food, shelter, money, and basic needs.
Not as performance.
As practice.

Backstage at the studio — work in progress.
The massacre of schoolgirls at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran leaves little room to paint anything else.
This cannot be reduced to “collateral damage.”
The small feline keeps watch.

Let all my immigrant neighbors that have been kidnapped be freed from all detention centers and brought back home.

Let all my immigrant neighbors that have unlawfully deported back to the US to be reunited with their loved ones.

This is not a call to ignore suffering or imperfection.
It is an invitation to meet the world exactly as it is — and to respond with love anyway.Every moment becomes a place to practice.
Every encounter becomes a chance to act.

Kyle Rittenhouse killed two and walked free. Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents who remain protected. Two killings, two injustices.

Bearing Witness We all are horrified by the government’s execution of Mr. Pretti, the unnecessary death of Ms. Goode, and the harm to countless others in both Minnesota and beyond (we are not forgetting Mr. Porter and so many others.) We stand with our immigrant communities who enrich our nation, nourish its soul, and are an integral and loved part of the fabric of our daily lives. Our hearts are with the families of all those harmed, including Liam and the other children who have been victims of this callous disregard for human decency. We are furious at ICE’s gestapo tactics against all citizens and non-citizens, but especially in Minneapolis and St. Paul. We call for the immediate cessation of Constitutional violations by this Administration against all people, both because humans cannot be illegal and because our Founding Fathers put the Constitution in place precisely to prevent exactly what is happening on our streets and in our neighborhoods. We bear witness to these wrongs and we will not forget. To those in the 2A community not horrified by what happened to Mr. Pretti. He is one of us. You are showing the falsity of your claims of being a “single issue voter” and a “strict Constitutionalist.” We bear witness to your lies and we will not forget. To those in the 2A community calling for investigation and accountability, we also bear witness to your strength of your convictions, and we will not forget. To those joining our 2A community, we welcome you, we support you, and we are glad you are here. To those who want to rise up – we know, we understand, but our job now it to bear witness to all that is wrong in our Country, to bear witness to the pain of Minnesota and the communities harmed by DHS and ICE in particular. In this particular moment, it is Minnesota’s community that is suffering most acutely, but they are part of our Country and it is our job, our imperative, to bear witness to their suffering, to the wrongs, and to remember both those the atrocities and those who are standing up against them.

From the Board of the LGC - we all feel called to bear witness: #BearingWitness #GunRights

#minnesota folks who are #bearingwitness should be outfitting their smartphones with better microphones, ones capable of capturing what they're saying to each other from a safe, legal distance.

You want to guess what they're saying to each other will say about "intent?" #minneapolis #minnesota
