Psanctum publishes educational articles and videos, curates an online digital archive, and hosts events like the Psanctum Speaker Series, the Psanctum Psychedelic Conference, monthly integration circles, and the weekly Psanctum Open Mic. We also operate Psanctum Thrift, which raises funds for psychedelic-assisted therapy, education, integration, and support. Psanctum also features an onsite Psychedelic Education Center, which is currently archiving the last materials of the Timothy Leary collection. We believe psychedelic experiences have the power to heal, inspire, and liberate the human mind, body, and soul. But these substances are only as powerful as our ability to understand, integrate, and support them. Psanctum works to contribute towards building a society where psychedelic experiences, education, and the strong communities necessary to process them, are accessible to all."</p><p>Please support Psanctum's mission by <a href="https://psanctum.org/donate/" target="_blank">donating to the cause</a> or by shopping at the store. </p>Christopher Lunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06917494047550408253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688372225675119099.post-13755936863869499112023-09-17T13:08:00.001-07:002023-09-17T13:09:13.007-07:00Photos and Video of Patti Smith in Portland, August 15, 2023<p>Patti Smith reads "Footnote to Howl" by Allen Ginsberg at Pioneer Place, Portland, OR August 15, 2023: <span style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYmMBLIcc9U&t=1s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYmMBLIcc9U&t=1s</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

been the same without my friend Igor Bjorn Brezhnev, the publisher and
co-founder of <a href="https://www.lightshippress.com/" target="_blank">Lightship Press</a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 10.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

I first became aware of
him when he hosted a weekly open mic at the Rocking Frog that included multiple
features and a very democratic process of deciding who would read in the open
mic. He picked names from a hat. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 10.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

then Bjorn has organized great series and individual readings at Rose City Book
Pub, CoHo Theatre, Birdhouse Books, and elsewhere. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 10.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

determined to get poets paid, and puts all of himself into organizing and
executing many events in the community. We should not have to work for free.
What we do can be both a vocation as well as a profession if we believe in it
enough to treat it that way. I respect Bjorn for his determination to raise money
for poets to de remunerated for their time and hard work. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Poetry Night on June 19. Many thanks to Duane Kirby Jensen for inviting me to
feature and to all of the poets and listeners for their time, energy, and
beautiful words. It was great to see Robinson Bolkum again and to make some
new friends. Archie and the entire staff of the Sisters Restaurant were so kind
and generous and welcoming, and the food was delicious. Definitely worth the
drive. I also want to thank my wife Toni Lumbrazo Luna for accompanying me on
the road trip and for taking this video of my set.

about Christopher’s son Angelo Luna, as well as a few pieces Angelo wrote for
Christopher. The earliest poem was written when Angelo was three, and the most
recent at age 21. Christopher endeavored to encourage his son to be an
autonomous, freethinking individual. Angelo grew to become that and so much
more. Taken as a whole, the poems in this collection track the development of
Angelo’s personality and the strong bond between father and son.</span></p>

Beat and New York School traditions of candor and grandeur. This collaboration
and celebration of life runs on impeccable timing and deep love. As Luna and
his son Angelo exchange wisdom they also re-invent the meaning of open verse:
these poems crack open the heart and spill the joy of parenthood into the
world.</span></p>

how to believe in the basic goodness of all beings</i>, Christopher Luna tells his
son, Angelo, in his latest book, Exchanging Wisdom. More than a collection of
father-son poems, Exchanging Wisdom is a record of gratitude. Luna knows that
to be a parent is to be both teacher and pupil, vulnerable and responsible. In
every poem Luna’s love beams: Like Lone Wolf and Cub we traversed…and you
reminded me that magic is real…. These poems contemplate our never-ending wars,
sickness, apathy, and art-making through the lens of a deeply reverent father.
For some, being a parent, being the adult, is synonymous with having the
answers. Luna, a Buddhist poet, community-organizer, and activist, reminds us
that questioning is the only way to truth. What are you afraid to find? he
wonders. Are these the right questions to ask? In these mind- and heart-opening
poems Luna invites us to experience pure joy and wonder again through memory
and thankfulness. Once you’ve opened those doors/ you need never do so again,
asserts Luna. Once father you cannot go back to your former life. Thankfully
for us, Luna never did.</span></p>

We read our poetry in Berkeley, San Francisco, Eureka, and and Monterey. One of the highlights was a featured reading with Julie Rogers, David Meltzer, and saxophonist Zan Stewart at Bird & Beckett Books.</p><p>In the following excerpt from the travel poem we wrote during the trip, we visit the Saint John Coltrane Church in San Francisco. I was reminded of our visit when I read the following article on the NPR website:<a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/09/23/915846867/five-decades-on-an-eclectic-church-preaches-the-message-of-john-coltrane">Five Decades On, An Eclectic Church Preaches The Message Of John Coltrane</a>.</p><p>I am very pleased to learn that the church is soldiering on. </p><p>Happy 94th Birthday, John Coltrane. </p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-align: right;"><o:p> </o:p><b style="text-align: right;">8/30/15</b></p>
