mandy kahn

in some way i am changed by every interview but then there are the ones that uproot my knowing and shift the soil below me. this is one of those interviews.

mandy is a poet, peace advocate and public speaker. her list of accolades and accomplishments is long. in brief (but hardly complete), mandy is the author of two collections of poetry, glenn gould’s chair and math, heaven, time, writer-in-residence at the philosophical research society, subject of a feature-length documentary, “peace piece: the immersive poems of mandy kahn,” and recipient of the 2018 shakespeare prize in poetry–other recipients include tom stoppard, ray bradbury and dana gioia.

mandy has given readings around the world, collaborates to make works that combine poetry and classical music, and offers a free weekly online class on the nature of peace.

mandy is a mystic and intuitive whose divine wisdom can truly change this world.

may this conversation inspire you to go within: to the raw, wild, expanse of mystery that is 
your beating heart, vibrating body, pulsing life in order to go beyond to utter the sacred: your words, dance, painting, art.

“everyone is here for a reason. a reason of equal magnitude, of equal importance. everyone came to bring a gift. the gift of themselves.”

“peace is a place of no preference. it’s also the place of the honoring of all beings exactly where they are. we are loved completely in every moment of our own evolution because it is understood that we are here to evolve.”
