Grains of Peace may be the essential addiction of this week. Wars are designed not only to produce physical harm but anxiety and hopelessness. From Kyiv comes a beacon of peace and calm – with a call to make a material difference for those fighting to end the war and protect Ukraine.

20ft Radio was already a vital independent radio space – like so many of those we all depend on in our hometowns. It broadcasts in peacetime from the port container at former ribbon-weaving factory “Strichka”.
Now, they’ve got a series of soul-soothing mixes going. There’s something just beautiful about this – not only for the current essential situation in Ukraine, but imagining beacons of hope against violence and occupation around the world. And whatever anxiety, uh local elections and corruption, occupations (a few of those) happen to be stressing you out, you can absolutely go hear, listen to the folks from Ukraine and their supporters around the world, and give back to that fight if you have the resources. (It’s also meditative as I listen to this, hearing HEALING HOURS open this up, warm-tinted pads quivering and bird songs, as the donation meter starts to tick to life.)
You can hover over the lineup for more descriptions, too. The lineup is huge already, both important Ukrainian artists and lots of friends from around the world (Legowelt to Biosphere, amount others). Two more days aren’t even announced yet.
