SAND is a journey, an exploration on the nature of awareness.

At Science and Nonduality, preeminent scientists, philosophers, mystics and artists gather to explore and advance the new paradigm emerging in spirituality that is both grounded in cutting-edge science and consistent with the ancient wisdom of nonduality--the deep understanding of the interconnectedness of life.

KŪPUNA ʻĀINA ✨ Trailer Release
Hawaiʻi, The Land Remembers

Global Film Premiere + Live Online Gathering with Hawaiʻi Elders, Healers and Leaders

Before there were maps, there were ancestors. Before there was history, there was a longing: a collective breath carried across the ocean, calling Hawaiʻi into being. A love for the land, and a desire to belong to it.

For generations, this sacred relationship between people and ʻāina (land) has endured through colonization, the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, the suppression of language and cultural practices, and the dispossession of ancestral lands.

Yet the land remembers. And so do its people.

Kūpuna ʻĀina takes us beyond the postcard images of Hawaiʻi, into the living heartbeat of its people and their ancestral home.

Through the voices of kūpuna (elders), cultural practitioners, healers, and younger generations, the film follows a profound journey of remembrance: reclaiming ancestral rhythms, revitalizing language, restoring relationships with the land, and transforming generations of historical pain into pathways of healing and cultural resurgence.

This is a story of a love that has outlasted empire. Of a people whose belonging cannot be erased. And of kuleana, the sacred responsibility to care for the land, honor the ancestors, and protect the living future of generations yet to come.

A reminder that healing does not always mean moving beyond our wounds, but sometimes finding our way through them, guided by the wisdom of the land that has held us all along.

“When suffering is all we have in common, what are we to do when we are all too traumatized to resist?”
– Catherine Liu

Join us on November 7, 2026 at 10:00 – 11:30am PST for:

"Have We Gone Too Far with Trauma?:
Catherine Liu on the Commodification of Suffering"
A Community Gathering with Catherine Liu

Trauma is real. It lives in our bodies, our families and communities through war, displacement, poverty, and dispossession. It is passed down through generations. But how did our language of deep injury become something to brand, sell, and display?

In her new book Traumatized: The New Politics of Public Suffering, cultural theorist Catherine Liu traces how trauma moved from the battlefield and the clinic into memoirs, wellness markets, corporate trainings, and celebrity confessionals. Along the way, she argues, our culture lifted suffering out of its social and economic roots, turned it into a private story and a marketable identity, and handed it to credentialed experts who now manage our pain from above.

Join us as Liu places our pain in its larger history and asks what it would take to hold it in common again, in a place where we can grieve it, understand it, and heal it together.

“If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their oil would turn into tears.” — Mahmoud Darwish
The olive tree is more than land—it is roots, history, and life. Even when brutally cut down or burned, the roots live within its people.

From Palestine to Turtle Island and the Amazon, Indigenous peoples across the globe stand in the same enduring struggle—to protect their sacred Earth, their culture, and the future of their children.

Watch our documentary “Where Olive Trees Weep” to hear directly from Indigenous Palestinian voices fighting to protect their land and their people.

In this powerful reflection from The Eternal Song, Chief Na’Moks reminds us that we should know the land as intimately as we know the back of our own hands.

To connect to her through an embodied relationship , one so deeply rooted in our being that when the land suffers, we feel that imbalance within our own bodies.

🌎 The Earth is not separate from us. She is our Mother. Her waters flow through us, her rhythms sustain us, and her well-being is inseparable from our own.

Chief Na’Moks invites us into a remembrance that goes beyond the mind, a living relationship of listening, reciprocity, and responsibility to the Earth and all her beings.

🎬 Watch The Eternal Song, a film that brings us into conversation with Indigenous wisdom keepers whose voices call us to remember our place within the great web of life.

✨ May we learn to listen to the land as we listen to our own bodies. May we remember that caring for the Earth is caring for life itself.

Everyday we should honor the Indigenous peoples of this Earth, the original stewards of the lands, waters, and living ecosystems that sustain us all.

We celebrate the resilience of communities who, despite centuries of colonization, displacement, and erasure, continue to protect their ancestral wisdom, languages, ceremonies, and ways of being in relationship with the living world.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day is not only a time to honor the past, but to recognize the living presence, leadership, and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples today. Their voices remind us that another way of being is possible, one rooted in reciprocity, kinship, remembrance, and responsibility to the generations yet to come.

🎬 In honor of this day, we invite you to watch The Eternal Song, a film that journeys alongside Indigenous wisdom keepers and communities, listening to stories of resilience, belonging, and the enduring relationships between people, ancestors, and the Earth.

May these stories inspire us to listen more deeply, question the systems that separate us, and remember the sacred web of life to which we all belong.

✨ Watch The Eternal Song and join us in honoring the voices, cultures, and living wisdom of Indigenous peoples.

reposted from
Speaker: Arundhati Roy

In a world overflowing with information, how much can our minds truly hold before we lose touch with ourselves?

In this reflection, Arundhati Roy invites us to question the relentless need to know everything, to consume every headline.

When our minds become saturated with the noise of the outside world, what happens to the quieter voices within us? Our own thoughts, emotions, intuition, and capacity to feel?

Perhaps one of the most radical acts of care in these times is to pause. To be gentle with our psyches. To recognize that staying informed does not mean we must absorb everything, and that our attention is a precious resource deserving of protection.

How do we begin to distinguish what is truly ours from everything we have taken in? How do we create enough silence to hear our own voice again?

🌿 An invitation to make space for discernment, tenderness, and the wisdom that can only emerge when we allow ourselves to listen inward.

In this highlight from The Great AI Unraveling series, Bayo Akomolafe challenges a deeply held assumption of modernity: that the mind lives inside the body, separate from the world around it.

What happens when we begin to see ourselves as part of the ecology itself , rather than individuals standing apart from it?

Bayo reminds us that many ancient approaches to healing never made this separation. Mind, body, community, land, and the living world were understood in relationship, a single fabric
