Almost shocking: a motivating perspective.

A must see TED talk.
Artist Chris Jordan shows us an arresting view of what Western culture looks like. His supersized images picture some almost unimaginable statistics — like the astonishing number of paper cups we use every single day.

Art Exhibits in October

•October 8, 2009 • Leave a Comment

In honor of the dedication from Radha Yoga & Eatery, along with the Yasodhara Ashram, I am auctioning* my canvas prints at this exhibit to raise money for these inspiring non-profit organizations. Both of these organizations provide space, food, and education towards a peaceful and environmentally harmonious world. Whether I’m at Radha, or the Ashram, I always feel at home and am greeted with warmth by the workers and volunteers in these spaces. These organizations are a precious asset when challenging lifestyle choices are prevalent in many of our lives.
The auction will be on from now until the end of October.
(*minimum bids are in place to cover my costs, all extra proceeds go to Radha and Yasodhara)

Inspired by the work from Radha and Yasodhara do to support local agriculture,
I thought I would send out a little reminder to people about how important it is,
to buy FAIR TRADE & ORGANIC when buying chocolate for kids this Halloween. (or for anyone at anytime for that matter).
70% of the worlds chocolate comes from Africa, 40% from the Ivory Coast, where most of the farms still force child & slave labor.
Many of the big name brands like, Hershey’s, Nestle and Cadbury’s get their chocolate from these farms.
Here are some news clips to remind us of this fact.

On another note, I recently watched this great documentary on Water; called “Water – The Great Mystery”.
An inspiring look at water at how water shares and stores information at a molecular level. Here is a link to the video on-line:

New Banner Art – Autumn Skye Morrison

•August 30, 2009 • Leave a Comment

A synchronistic blessing recently brought this amazing artist and beautiful being into my path, to connect with and collaborate with at Shambhala this year. Please check out her recently updated website: www.autumnskyemorrison.com

And if you get the chance, try and see her paintings in real life, they are large and breathtaking, and often include mixed media elements attached to the canvas.
