Moved to share a few tidbits about recent experiences with the Empty Hands Tour, which is truly a thing of authentic beauty and humbling, nod-your-head awesomeness. Seeing Nimo in action -- nay, being with him in action :) -- it's astounding to ponder the sheer level of inner-oriented practice through quiet, personal cultivation and simple, outer service leading up to this point in his journey...

Which is intersecting so elegantly and serendipitously with so many other journeys.

For example, at last night's gathering in Philadelphia, anchored by the indefatigable Audrey and creativity-superstar Lahar (who recently crafted these gorgeous gratitude journals), the space witnessed a wonderful confluence of paths with such wonderful souls as dear brother Chaz, recent awakin call guests Sunil, and Vilma (who drove all the way from Connecticut and back!), Karmatube volunteers Vicky and Shail, Nandita who wants to start an awakin circle in Philly -- even Drew who didn't know exactly what music and stories event his friend had spontaneously brought him to on his way to the gym, only to get there and realize he used to play basketball with Nimo ages ago! Audrey shares more about the night in a facebook post here. 

I'm just excited for everyone else who gets to experience this going forward. :) Deeper than a tour, this pilgrimage is planting seeds of inspiration in ways that defy quantification and expand all hearts it touches, whether via a passing interaction on the street or an outpouring of cathartic energy at a gathering; different from a concert per se, these gatherings are engaging, co-creative, and one by one cross-polinating love warriors from around the world, and all walks of life. True blessing to be part of.

Bowing to all the moments, people, intentions, visible and invisible contributions, seeds-long-ago-planted, that make Empty Hands Pilgrimage possible.
