The design of the Temple of Together at this year's Burning Man by Caroline Ghosn beautifully depicts the light that emerges when we connect with all parts of ourselves and the unity we share with all living beings. The dominant motif in the design is the depiction of two hands joined in prayer, with the flow of the sculpture's energy merging and then erupting upwards. The joining of two hands is a common gesture in almost all spiritual traditions, symbolizing unity, humility and respect. This is literally shown by the two hands forming an arch at the entrance of the name "6:00". The temple is represented more abstractly in the Neo-Gothic pointed arches that are repeated throughout the design, which also recall the layered, geometric shapes and symmetry of the Art Deco style of a century ago. In this time of global challenges and conflicts, we are called to find strength in unity and be seen, loved and inspired.  This year, Burning Man takes place from August 25 t

The pandemic has put love relationships under significant pressure as couples grapple with new difficulties, i.e. lack of privacy. Too much togetherness, lack of personal space and the inability to do normal activities, such as going to the gym, are cited as reasons that lead to problems in relationships. A website that provides legal documents has reported a 34 percent increase in divorce contract sales during the pandemic, compared to the same time period last year. Recent research by Dr. Brian Earp , titled Psychedelic Moral Enhancements, recalls MDMA being used in couples therapy in the 1980s. Is the time right to revive this study? Yale University's Earp writes:  "In the 1980s, before it was outlawed, MDMA —popularly known as ' ecstasy ' for the euphoric feeling it can produce"—was used by professional counselors as an aid to couples therapy." Writing in in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs in 1998, George Greer and Requa Tolbert described a method

The world may take a dystopian turn as MDMA -based 'love potions' c ould become available in the next 5 years!! :)  According to Metro , these love drugs could help shed light on the spark of romance that new couples need to start or even breathe life into a fading relationship.  The drink could be based on oxytocin , a ‘ cuddling hormone’ produced in moments of love and intimacy, or even small doses of the drug ecstasy MDMA. Dr. Anna Machin, an evolutionary a nthropologist at Oxford University , said  "We now know enough about the chemistry of the human brain to develop drugs that evoke the same feelings as love ." She also pointed out the ethical dilemmas posed by a drug that could affect the human brain in such a drastic way as love . Speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Machin suggested that love drugs could become available in the next three to five years. According to The Independent, Dr. Machin compared a possible oxytocin-based love drug to

Black techno lemonade is a refreshing drink that gets its black color from activated carbon <3  Some people use activated charcoal to whiten skin or teeth, but the true value of activated charcoal is in its ability to remove toxins from the body. Does everything that is black have to allude to techno music? Seems to have to. So we renamed this unusual lemonade into techno one.  Black or techno lemonade is a quick, simple recipe that requires only a few ingredients. You probably already have most of them in your kitchen ... except for coal :) But nowadays you can find it in any organic, bio, healthy shop in Kosovo :) or even at the pharmacy ;)  Recipe for black lemonade     * juice of one lemon     * 1-2 capsules of activated charcoal     * stevia or maple syrup     * water Instructions Squeeze the lemon.  Break 1-2 capsules with activated charcoal (check the dose on the bottle or container), add lemon juice and stir to combine.
