Satyavayu
I plan on fasting in a public spot for at least four days starting on November sixth. I'll be engaged in meditation for much of the time, but will have a banner and info, and will be ready to talk to anyone with questions. Hopefully, there will be several others with me for all or part of the time. Afterward we'll decide on future actions - maybe returning during the conference dates.
I am a full-time religious practitioner (religion=to bind together, reconnect, make whole; like the sanskrit "yoga") which means I focus on meditational practices, living in radical simplicity, and engaging in the world with the intention of reducing suffering for all beings. I live without income or my own home, don't drive or ride in cars, and don't purchase anything that harms beings, to the best of my ability. I have been involved in environmental and social activism for close to twenty years, particularly direct-action forest defence (including tree-sitting), war protests, and Food-Not-Bombs community organizing and free food sharing.
