Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 as the first specifically African-American holiday. He chose Swahili words to represent values such as unity, self-determination and creativity, with each day of the seven-day festival honoring one of the values.
If you were to create a holiday which honored seven values, what would they be?
1. Integrity
2. Acceptance (of oneself and reality as well as of other people)
3. Compassion
4. Justice (not to be confused with vengeance)
5. Appreciation
6. Peace (internal and external, local and global)
7. Creativity
If you were to create a holiday which honored seven values, what would they be?…
1) healing through intimacy; 2) sexual openness; 3) deepest, intimate sharing; 4) sharing in sexual openness (polyamorous love); 5) occasional orgies – just to release pent-up passions, etc.; 6) obviously, a celebration of sexual pleasures (including consensual fetishes); 7) respect for sexual openness and consent.
Namaste! Bright Blessings! & lots of Twisted Fun!
