Erotic Poetry by Zayra Yves on UltraFeel TV (Switzerland) - July 31, 2008

From the creator and editor of UltraFeel...

"Ultrafeel.tv is proud to publish some of Zayra Yves‘ erotic poetry and two of her latest photos."

"Zayra from San Francisco, California, is an exceptional poet with a great variety of themes. Her deep insights into the dualistic nature of life merges with the erotic reunion of the male and female energies into a spiritual, archaic and mystical image of existence."

Empty as Nirvana at Target and Barnes & Noble - March 1, 2008

It is true! My first poetry book "Empty as Nirvana" is available through Target and Barnes & Noble. If you are interested in purchasing it through either of these two retailers then you can book search it under my name or by book title, also it is listed under poetry, then under my name or the book title! At this point "Empty as Nirvana" is in full distribution and should be available for any bookseller to order. Having said that, I am personally partial to Lulu (www.lulu.com) or refer to my purchasing links for a direct link to my Lulu storefront. But that is a long story for some other day. I am just grateful that Empty as Nirvana is making her way across the US and around the globe to inspire the hearts of thousands! Wow! Thank you to everyone for all their support over the years!!!

Big Hearts and Minds Unite! - February 13, 2008

This past weekend I was a guest at the “Big Mind, Big Heart” event with Genpo Roshi (www.bigmind.org), Bill Harris of Centerpointe (www.centerpointe.com ) and Erika Luckett (www.erikaluckett.com) a gifted signer who performed with fire and beauty in between the Big Mind Big Heart sessions. I was also fortunate to share the light with these big hearts and give the audience a taste of my poetry. As a true bonus dear Erika enhanced my poetry with her background guitar and shared her spirit with me. There were 250 plus people in attendance! Genpo and Bill were outstanding teachers! All in all, it was another significant highlight in my life and a rare opportunity to stand among teachers and friends alike as we collected the voices we had long since forgotten and welcomed them in our hearts once again. I will post photos soon.

Big Heart Big Mind was not the only event in town! My art was in an art collective show in a slide show presentation along with my poetry audio track “I am SHE” from Crowned Compassion at The Hive Gallery on Spring Street in L.A. It was a powerful group of artists that came together to celebrate the integral approach to art and Paul Lonely’s birthday (www.suicidedictionary.com), the soulful music of Michael Garfield (also featured on Integral Naked) and the grace of many others. Even though I could not make it across town to the gallery in time for the show, I am so grateful to be part of this circle. I encourage you to visit their websites to get familiar with their talents and gifts! You will be glad that you did!!!

Getting Naked on Integral Naked! - January 29, 2008

Integral Naked featured my audio collection Crowned Compassion in December of 2006! And, they have asked me to come back with my new book Ordinary Substance that has an intro by Bill Harris, as well as with my CD Sleep in the Sea Tonight with Me. I am really grateful and excited to be featured with such a fantastic circle of visionary minds in the realm of philosophy and the arts!

If you have not visited Integral Naked before then you don't know what you are missing! Check it out! It will up lift your spirits, enlighten your mind and share a whole new world of cutting edge spiritual philosophy. It is the most honest trip through the cosmos and love that I have come across on the net!
