"∞OS – is an open source operating system for the bodymind": https://8os.io/about/
∞OS /eight-os/ – is an open source operating system for the bodymind. Its main objective is to help people find their own agency within and to cultivate their own idea of harmony. We base our approach on a set of principles, which are derived from a very simple idea that everything is based on a wave. We try to cultivate wave-like oscillatory dynamics within our movement, actions, and perception. In a way, ∞OS is a practice of surfing along the waves that you yourself create.
"Crafting Normative Messages to Protect the Environment" (2003):
http://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~schaller/Psyc591Readings/Cialdini2003.pdf
It is widely recognized that communications that activate social norms can be effective in producing societally beneficial conduct. Not so well recognized are the circumstances under which normative information can backfire to produce the opposite of what a communicator intends. There is an understandable, but misguided, tendency to try to mobilize action against a problem by depicting it as regrettably frequent. Information campaigns emphasize that alcohol and drug use is intolerably high, that adolescent suicide rates are alarming, and—most relevant to this article—that rampant polluters are spoiling the environment. Although these claims may be both true and well intentioned, the campaigns' creators have missed something critically important: Within the statement “Many people are doing this undesirable thing” lurks the powerful and undercutting normative message “Many people are doing this.” Only by aligning descriptive norms (what people typically do) with injunctive norms (what people typically approve or disapprove) can one optimize the power of normative appeals. Communicators who fail to recognize the distinction between these two types of norms imperil their persuasive efforts.

The Sacred Music of Mikagura: a brief look at an ancient ritual | 御神楽解説・装束楽器解説:
Mikagura is a form of Japanese ceremonial music and dance which originated in rituals first conducted more than 1,000 years ago by Shinto shrine priests for the Imperial Court of Japan. This performance by the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine (鶴岡八幡宮) from Kamakura Japan involves rare traditional musical instruments and a mesmerizing dance that has not changed much from the time of ancient Shinto rituals.
The 24 musicians and dancers seen here in elegant traditional costumes are presided over by Head Priest Shigeho Yoshida, who believes in the importance of sharing indigenous Shinto concepts of reverence for the spirit in nature with people around the world.
