manifesto.

We have chosen to construct this apparatus to explore a wild cosmos of minds,
to awaken ours & other’s hearts, and to expand ourselves.

To step off the mat & live the practice of unity.
Because each & everyone of us sees the world through our own unique light.

And we wish to connect our lights
as constellations, beyond opinion.

To challenge the false narratives that divide us.

To stand strong with one another’s truths.

To learn to hold different perspectives simultaneously.

To free the path to the stars.

To not just welcome, but to also enthusiastically embrace the disruption of our reality.

And to create cosmos out of chaos.

Welcome to stars+destruct.
