<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Helping our dreams become our reality...</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our Vision Book Workshop focuses on sharing age old wisdom forgotten by many in our modern age. This workshop is designed to help each participant gain a deeper understanding of the subconscious mind and it’s (subconscious) effects in our physical reality. Participants will learn fun, simple and practical applications to work with their subconscious minds. By using this new understanding participants will create a personal vision book to use as a tool and a guide in manifesting their dreams and uncovering their talents.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">This workshop is open to the general public and all are welcomed but we highly encourage artists, dreamers, entrepreneurs and idealists to attend. These techniques and lessons are especially helpful to those that work through inspiration. Participants develop easy and enjoyable ways to feed their inner muse daily.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">For thousands of years great spiritual cultures understood the importance of our connection and communication with the subconscious mind. This knowledge and understanding was passed down through verbal history. Most of those practices have been forgotten but some have survived. The ancient Hawaiians used some of these practices to harvest Mana (Divine Life Force Energy). They used Mana not only to enrich their bodies and spirits but as a sacred breath to feed their dreams and bring them into reality. The Australian Aboriginal cultures used Dream Time as a way to communicate with the heavens. Through understanding the meanings of their dreams they were able to predict and avoid dangers as well as bring the dream world into the waking. Tibetan Buddhist monks practice Lucid Dreaming as a way to understand the subconscious mind in multiple realms of reality.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">In contemporary society we also have great minds that have taught us the importance of the subconscious mind in how we live and perceive our realities. Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Carl Jung spoke of the subconscious mind’s power to manifest in our daily lives. Albert Einstein said “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking” and “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” The imagination is a product of our subconscious. Joseph Campbell is known for many great things, not the least of which is the philosophy of "Following Your Bliss". By following your bliss you are reflecting the unique talents that lie within.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our subconscious is the key to getting in touch with our deepest dreams and latent talents. This workshop shares easy and effective tools to re-connect with the inner-child or sub-conscious mind. Through forging a healthy relationship with the subconscious, participants are able to co-create their realities and manifest their Divine talents.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"> <b>Chakra Stones Basic Workshop</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">My Chakra Stones Workshop was developed to educate participants about the seven major chakras in the human body as well as to further develop their knowledge and understanding of the chakras' workings in relation to physical health, emotional well-being and consciousness. Participants will also learn about special stones that complement mediation and balance the energy centers of the body. They will learn about the importance of breath and of water in relation to vitality of body and spirit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Through my 25 years of training and study in multiple disciplines and arts I have created my signature Chakra Stones Healing and Cleansing set. My set consists of 11 stones and 9 placements. The numbers 11 and 9 are important in helping to create an optimum energetic field for cleansing and detoxifying both the physical body and the energy body. Each stone resonates to a specific vibrational field and interacts with the subtle energies of our chakras and energy system. I will guide practitioners through a simple yet powerful meditation using the stones to release stress and to gently begin bringing the chakra system into balance. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Chakra is a Sanskrit word that translates as wheel or disc. A chakra is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. The chakras are like spinning spheres of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. Six of these wheels are located in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead. The seventh is beyond the physical region above the head. Each chakra in your spinal column is believed to influence or even govern bodily functions near its region of the spine. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Eastern based medicines, religions, martial arts and philosophies all recognize the existence of electromagnetic fields throughout the human body. For thousands of years Eastern cultures have incorporated their knowledge of the workings of the energy “centers” or Chakras and the energy "rivers" or Meridians in the human body into health, healing, martial and consciousness expansion practices. Some of the practices that have become popular in West are Acupressure, Acupuncture, Reiki, Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, Aikido, and Meditation. (Use this link to connect with "Fee Guided Meditations" - UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Water is an essential component for life as we know it. Our bodies are comprised of more than 70% water. Humans can survive only a few days without water yet can survive a month or more without food. Water powers our bodies, from the elasticity of our myofascia (cognitive tissue) to the ability to process thoughts coherently, it literally is our life's blood. The quality of the water we drink will affect the quality of our health and consciousness. Participants will learn how to elevate the vibration of the water they drink and use daily. Use this link for more information on the importance of the quality of the water we drink. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Participants will receive a 55 page ebook with in-depth information regarding all the topics discussed in the workshop.</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #073763;">Young Adult & College Prep Safety Workshop</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">This workshop is designed for young adults ages 16 and older. It’s perfect safety prep for those going off to college and those planning on becoming more independent. Personal Safety and crime prevention are crucial components in successfully learning to be self-reliant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As our kids grow into adults they become more independent and will find themselves in situations unsupervised by their parents and/or trusted adults. This is a natural and healthy process of growth and maturity. While we want to encourage young adults to become more independent we also want to help them learn how to handle potentially dangerous situations. We will share strategies on crime prevention and ways to effectively troubleshoot unforeseen challenges. It’s important for young adults to be aware of their surroundings and know that there are people they will encounter that don’t always have good intentions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We will have expert guest speakers in multiple areas of personal safety and crime prevention. We will offer hands-on simple and effective self-defense techniques as well as situational examples and responses. Our workbook and ebook give our students and their parents an opportunity to review topics and continue to practice at home/school.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Some of the topics we will cover:</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Social Media & Geo Tags</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Hands-on self defense techniques</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Crime Prevention - what to be on the look out for</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Opportunistic Crime Prevention</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Social Situations & potentially unhealthy/dangerous environments</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Preparedness: Emergency and Safey</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Resources in health and safety</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Emotional Challenges and where to turn</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">•Drugs/Alcohol and their impact on judgement and decision making</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Parents are encouraged to participate if students are younger than 18 years of age.</span><br />

Matt Damon supplies the voice of Spirit, a wild Mustang stallion living free in the Old West of the late 19th century, where he's captured by human horse traders and sold to a cavalry regiment at a frontier outpost. There, a cruel colonel (voice of James Cromwell) nearly succeeds in breaking the willful horse, but not quite. Spirit escapes in the company of another captive, Little Creek (voice of Daniel Studi), a Native American youth that tries to possess the magnificent animal by more humane means, but Spirit refuses to bend to human will even when he makes the acquaintance of Little Creek's beautiful and fiercely loyal mare, Rain. After he saves Little Creek's life in an Army raid, Spirit believes that the gravely injured Rain has perished after a tumble over a waterfall. Despondent, the horse is captured again by humans, enslaved this time for work in a pack team on the transcontinental railroad. Undaunted by the tragedies that befall him, Spirit manages to escape for a reunion with Little Creek, Rain, and his long-lost brethren. Featuring songs by rock singer Bryan Adams, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron departs from other examples of its genre in that the horse protagonists do not speak or sing; only Spirit's voice is heard as voice-over narration</i>.” https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/spirit_stallion_of_the_cimarron</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Rating:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>G</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Genre:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Animation, Drama, Kids & Family</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Directed By:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Lorna Cook, Kelly Asbury</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Written By:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>John Fusco</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">In Theaters:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>May 24, 2002 Wide</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Runtime:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>83 minutes</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-vGpe_8XiNk" width="320" youtube-src-id="-vGpe_8XiNk"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #073763; font-size: medium;">Brother Bear</span></b></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iexNJzM8J_A/XyP1Ejbtu1I/AAAAAAAAM3Q/SzVLL9Nt9Poa40PaKSPXg9ZGHkT4WhKiwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1435/brother-bear.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #073763;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1435" data-original-width="1016" height="210" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iexNJzM8J_A/XyP1Ejbtu1I/AAAAAAAAM3Q/SzVLL9Nt9Poa40PaKSPXg9ZGHkT4WhKiwCLcBGAsYHQ/w149-h210/brother-bear.jpg" width="149" /></span></a></div></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">“<i>Driven by the emotional and joyous rhythms of five great new songs from Academy-Award (R) winner Phil Collins, "Brother Bear" is Disney's exciting new animated holiday adventure.

But his relatively quiet existence is shattered when he accidentally summons a spirit from his past which storms down from the heavens to enforce an age-old vendetta. Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (Academy Award winner Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey), and sets out on a thrilling quest to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father, the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known. With the help of his shamisen - a magical musical instrument - Kubo must battle gods and monsters, including the vengeful Moon King (Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) and the evil twin Sisters (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara), to unlock the secret of his legacy, reunite his family, and fulfill his heroic destiny.”</i> https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kubo_and_the_two_strings_2016</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Rating:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>PG (for thematic elements, scary images, action and peril)</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Genre:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Action & Adventure, Animation, Science Fiction & Fantasy</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Directed By:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Travis Knight</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Written By:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Marc Haimes, Chris Butler</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">In Theaters:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Aug 19, 2016 Wide</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">On Disc/Streaming:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Nov 22, 2016</span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Runtime:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>101 minutes</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vex0gPFnBvM" width="320" youtube-src-id="vex0gPFnBvM"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="color: #073763;">Thank you for visiting.

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">- 4-27-19 8pm-10pm</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Our Open Mic Nights are focused on providing a nurturing, creative and safe environment for artists to share new concepts or work out new material. Our focus is on collaboration through inspiration for artists of different disciples, cultures and genres to share their craft. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">We host singers, musicians, poets, writers, storytellers, performing artists, dancers, comedians and have a small gallery space for visual artists. We host professional artists as well as encourage artists to share for the first time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Open Mic's are open to participating artists and guests by invitation only. We keep these events intimate so that artists can feel free to experiment and explore. It's about creating a space that is safe to bear the artistic soul. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Once the scheduled performances are completed for the evening musicians and dancers are welcome to have an open jam session. We encourage artists to collaborate as well as to step outside the box and find new perspectives.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">We set the PM hours of our Open Mic Night to reflect that there will be some works that may not be suitable for younger artists. It is an 18 and older event.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">If you would like to share a piece you are working on or try something new please post in comments so we can add you to our lineup. </span><br /><span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">You are invited to Mana Keepers Shop's Grand Opening at In the Flow Studios. We will have some of our most prized pieces on display and will offer some pieces for sale. In the Flow Studios is kindly hosting a FREE MIXER with finger foods and refreshments. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">About Mana Keepers Shop Mana Keepers offers crystals, rocks, books, music, prints, cards, and art-work from local and international nature-loving artists. Nature has the power to rejuvenate, exhilarate, sooth, heal and inspire. It can stir the soul, elicit wonder, calm the mind of stress and ease tension from the body. Many of us in modern society don't have the occasion to enjoy the benefits of nature in our daily environment. Mana Keepers strives to give people everywhere an opportunity to bring a bit of the natural world into their everyday lives. "I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright." ~Henry David Thoreau </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">When we loose our connection with Nature’s rhythms and cycles, we become disconnected from our bodies and emotions and get “stuck in our heads”. By engaging in the restorative energies of nature we help bring balance and harmony to our lives. That’s why for centuries artists, philosophers, scientists, healers and lovers have been inspired by Mother Nature? "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." ~Albert Einstein </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">For those of us that live in cities or densely populated suburbs it may be difficult to find a space in nature to meditate in. Many of us don’t have the opportunity of enjoying the benefits of immersing ourselves in nature on a daily basis. As a result our bodies suffer as does our vitality and our creativity. “The earth has music for those who listen.” ~William Shakespeare</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Even if we can’t move to a new location or drastically transform our lifestyles we can still effect positive change in our current environment by adding aspects of Mother Nature. Living plants, crystals, waterfalls and nature photographs can all help change stressed living spaces into a more harmonious and enriching environment. "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." ~Aristotle </span><br /><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">We will have a guest list at the door and will be cross-checking names with invitations. Thank you and hope to see you there. </span><br /><span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">My Chakra Stones Workshop was developed to educate participants about the seven major chakras in the human body as well as to further develop their knowledge and understanding of the chakras' workings in relation to physical health, emotional well-being and consciousness. Participants will also learn about special stones that complement mediation and balance the energy centers of the body. They will learn about the importance of breath and of water in relation to vitality of body and spirit. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Through my 25 years of training and study in multiple disciplines and arts I have created my signature Chakra Stones Healing and Cleansing set. My set consists of 11 stones and 9 placements. The numbers 11 and 9 are important in helping to create an optimum energetic field for cleansing and detoxifying both the physical body and the energy body. Each stone resonates to a specific vibrational field and interacts with the subtle energies of our chakras and energy system. I will guide practitioners through a simple yet powerful meditation using the stones to release stress and to gently begin bringing the chakra system into balance. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Chakra is a Sanskrit word that translates as wheel or disc. A chakra is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. The chakras are like spinning spheres of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. Six of these wheels are located in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead. The seventh is beyond the physical region above the head. Each chakra in your spinal column is believed to influence or even govern bodily functions near its region of the spine. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Eastern based medicines, religions, martial arts and philosophies all recognize the existence of electromagnetic fields throughout the human body. For thousands of years Eastern cultures have incorporated their knowledge of the workings of the energy “centers” or Chakras and the energy "rivers" or Meridians in the human body into health, healing, martial and consciousness expansion practices. Some of the practices that have become popular in West are Acupressure, Acupuncture, Reiki, Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, Aikido, and Meditation.

<span style="color: #0c343d;">Water is an essential component for life as we know it. Our bodies are comprised of more than 70% water. Humans can survive only a few days without water yet can survive a month or more without food. Water powers our bodies, from the elasticity of our myofascia (cognitive tissue) to the ability to process thoughts coherently, it literally is our life's blood. The quality of the water we drink will affect the quality of our health and consciousness. Participants will learn how to elevate the vibration of the water they drink and use daily. Use this link for more information on the importance of the quality of the water we drink. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Participants will receive a 55 page ebook with in-depth information regarding all the topics discussed in the workshop. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;"> This workshop is designed for young adults ages 16 and older. It’s perfect safety prep for those going off to college and those planning on becoming more independent. Personal Safety and crime prevention are crucial components in successfully learning to be self-reliant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">As our kids grow into adults they become more independent and will find themselves in situations unsupervised by their parents and/or trusted adults. This is a natural and healthy process of growth and maturity. While we want to encourage young adults to become more independent we also want to help them learn how to handle potentially dangerous situations. We will share strategies on crime prevention and ways to effectively troubleshoot unforeseen challenges. It’s important for young adults to be aware of their surroundings and know that there are people they will encounter that don’t always have good intentions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">We will have expert guest speakers in multiple areas of personal safety and crime prevention. We will offer hands-on simple and effective self-defense techniques as well as situational examples and responses. Our workbook and ebook give our students and their parents an opportunity to review topics and continue to practice at home/school.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Some of the topics we will cover:</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">•Social Media & Geo Tags</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">•Hands-on self defense techniques</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">•Crime Prevention - what to be on the look out for</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;">Helping our dreams become our reality...</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Our Vision Book Workshop focuses on sharing age old wisdom forgotten by many in our modern age. This workshop is designed to help each participant gain a deeper understanding of the subconscious mind and it’s (subconscious) effects in our physical reality. Participants will learn fun, simple and practical applications to work with their subconscious minds. By using this new understanding participants will create a personal vision book to use as a tool and a guide in manifesting their dreams and uncovering their talents.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">This workshop is open to the general public and all are welcomed but we highly encourage artists, dreamers, entrepreneurs and idealists to attend. These techniques and lessons are especially helpful to those that work through inspiration. Participants develop easy and enjoyable ways to feed their inner muse daily.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">For thousands of years great spiritual cultures understood the importance of our connection and communication with the subconscious mind. This knowledge and understanding was passed down through verbal history. Most of those practices have been forgotten but some have survived. The ancient Hawaiians used some of these practices to harvest Mana (Divine Life Force Energy). They used Mana not only to enrich their bodies and spirits but as a sacred breath to feed their dreams and bring them into reality. The Australian Aboriginal cultures used Dream Time as a way to communicate with the heavens. Through understanding the meanings of their dreams they were able to predict and avoid dangers as well as bring the dream world into the waking. Tibetan Buddhist monks practice Lucid Dreaming as a way to understand the subconscious mind in multiple realms of reality.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">In contemporary society we also have great minds that have taught us the importance of the subconscious mind in how we live and perceive our realities. Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Carl Jung spoke of the subconscious mind’s power to manifest in our daily lives. Albert Einstein said “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking” and “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” The imagination is a product of our subconscious. Joseph Campbell is known for many great things, not the least of which is the philosophy of "Following Your Bliss". By following your bliss you are reflecting the unique talents that lie within. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Our subconscious is the key to getting in touch with our deepest dreams and latent talents. This workshop shares easy and effective tools to re-connect with the inner-child or sub-conscious mind. Through forging a healthy relationship with the subconscious, participants are able to co-create their realities and manifest their Divine talents. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Participants will revive a free Vision Book Workshop ebook. </span><br />

She was one of the first artists to commit to our event. Her sense of community and caring are a beautiful example to us all. The oldest of four she is no stranger to setting a good example and trying to help those younger than herself. Keona has served as an example, inspiration and role model to countless youths through her cultural and martial arts performances as well her community service.<br />

She’s a well rounded person with a love of humanities, the arts and cultural history. Her moral compass points to her integrity and her actions are a reflection of her content of character. She is always the first to welcome a new performer, teammate, student into the group. She is kind to those more fragile and works to encourage those around her.<br />

<b>PaaMano Eskrima - Filipina Warrior Princess - Peñafrancia Fiesta 2018 Sheroes</b></div>
This piece is dedicated to the little known pre-colonial warrior princesses of the Philippines.<br />
We honor these brave women or Filipnia sheroes not just because of their courage and leadership but because remembering Filipino pre-colonial history was very important to Jose Rizal. In Jose Rizal’s preface to his annotations of Morga’s “Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas” he writes:<br />
“If the book succeeds to awaken your consciousness of our past, already effaced from your memory, and to rectify what has been falsified and slandered, then I have not worked in vain, and with this as a basis, however small it may be, we shall be able to study the future.”<br />
<br />
In honor of Princess Urduja, warrior queen of ancient Pangasinan. Princess Pangian Inchi Jamila of Jolo – known as the best swordswoman in the Philippines and Lela Men Chanei, the princess of Sulu who invaded and conquered Manila in the 15th century.<br />

Athletic completion has been a cornerstone in her life. From an early age her mother and father encouraged her to try new things including sports. She found that she really enjoyed waterpolo, basketball, volleyball and Track & Field with main event in Pole Vault, Sprints (100m, 4x100m) and high jump. Keona uses sports as a way to help her stay physically and mentally fit. She enjoys the challenge presented in team competition and enjoys the camaraderie. <br />
<br />

In art as in life we will stumble, fall, encounter opposition, become disheartened, overwhelmed and lose all hope. Remember that it's ok, it's all part of the process. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">It is not our success or our failures that define us. It is the will to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and try, try again that will become our legacy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We must celebrate our successes as well as our failures for they are just steps along the same path...the journey of self-discovery and an authentically lived life.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">2009 was the first time I saw the <a href="https://playingforchange.com/" target="_blank">Playing For Change</a> - Stand By Me video on youtube. I was moved to tears as the song progressed and took me from country to country. I saw, heard and felt the magic and connection happening from artist to artist to audience. I was inspired by their work and by the positivity and unity that shown through each artist. For a brief moment in time troubles and tribulations were suspended and hope rekindled for humankind. </span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://playingforchange.com/" target="_blank">Playing For Change</a><span style="color: #073763;"> has grown over the past few years from a grassroots project to a global movement. They offer live concerts featuring many of their video musicians as well as sell merchandize and began the </span><a href="http://playingforchange.org/" target="_blank">Playing For Change Foundation</a><span style="color: #073763;">. They are truly living up to their mission statement of "Connecting the World Through Music". </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Joseph Campbell wrote, <i><b>"There is no humanity in the state. What runs the world is economics and politics, and they have nothing to do with the spiritual life. So we are left with this void. It's the job of the artist to create these new myths. Myths come from the artist." </b></i><a href="https://playingforchange.com/" target="_blank">Playing For Change</a> embodies Joseph Campbell's quote by bring the world a new myth...peace and unity through music.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I hope you'll enjoy these video clips by <a href="https://playingforchange.com/" target="_blank">Playing For Change</a> as well as be inspired to share your unique artistic talents for the betterment of our world. It only takes one person to make a life changing difference in the life of another. Positivity and hope are contagious...let's go out and infect the world.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">One of the most beautiful tributes I've ever seen to one of my all-time favorite artists...Robert Nesta Marley also known as...Bob Marley. Here artists from around the world unite in music and exude the message of this legendary song. One Love...One People...One Song </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><a href="http://playingforchange.org/" target="_blank">Playing for Change Foundation</a>: CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE THROUGH MUSIC & ARTS EDUCATION. In response to the enthusiasm of those inspired by 'Songs Around the World' and the mission of the <a href="http://playingforchange.org/" target="_blank">Playing For Change Foundation</a>, <a href="http://playingforchangeday.org/about" target="_blank">PFC Day</a> was created in 2011 to unite the global community through the power of music. Every September, musicians and music lovers all over the world come together to perform on stages and sidewalks, schools and cafes -- all with the goal of bringing creating positive social change and bringing music into the lives of young people. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><a href="http://playingforchangeday.org/about" target="_blank">Playing For Change Day</a> was originally established to coincide with the <a href="http://internationaldayofpeace.org/" target="_blank">UN’s International Day of Peace</a>, which takes place each year on September 21st (occurring on a Wednesday in 2016). <a href="http://playingforchangeday.org/about" target="_blank">Playing For Change Day</a> is held on the nearest Saturday each year so that participants can devote more time on the weekend to putting on or attending stellar events. Along with thousands of other organizations worldwide, we are participating in the Culture of Peace Initiative, in cooperation with Pathways To Peace, to raise awareness of the <a href="http://internationaldayofpeace.org/" target="_blank">International Day of Peace</a> and the year-round effort to transform society from a culture of competition and violence to a culture of cooperation and peace. To this end, <a href="http://playingforchangeday.org/about" target="_blank">Playing For Change Day</a> concerts will be held in hundreds of cities and towns across our planet to celebrate humanity's unity and also to raise funds for music education.</span><br />

problem solving process, we open ourselves to the countless possibilities that
would have otherwise eluded our intellectual conciseness. This is indicative of
the artistic process. Pieces that are "over thought" are ridged while
pieces that are allowed to evolve as inspired have an organic flow. Let your mind
go and let your creativity flow!</span></div>

Following your bliss is an essential element to the artistic process as well as the art of living. This is not to say that all art is or should be blissful. Following our bliss as artists guides the process of artistic inspiration and authenticity. Below is a clip about following your bliss from the incredible PBS interview Joseph Campbell did with Bill Moyers in "The Power of Myth". </span><br />

Lalaine birthed this culinary masterpiece seven days ago. Today I am enjoying the last small slice. I wanted to see how this deliciousness called Crack Pie would hold up over time. It is magnificent! Well I should go back to when my Crack Pie and I first met. It was on a Sunday at the incredible <a href="http://intheflowstudiosarts.blogspot.com/2015/05/about-our-arts-open-house-and-ke-ola.html" target="_blank">Arts Open House and Ke-ola Rehab Fundraiser.</a> I was so busy that day that I was not able to stop and have a taste. It wasn't until Monday night that my family and I were all together that we were able to taste our beautiful heart shaped crack pie. We couldn't find the drizzle so I had my first slice plain. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">The moment the creamy goodness of the cheesecake touched my tongue I was hooked. The flavor was rich and textured yet with a lightness that almost floated weightlessly down my throat. I am a cheesecake lover but this isn't just cheesecake...it is Crack Pie! I haven't tried another Cheesecake quite like this one. I was left so immersed in the experience of savoring every bite that between my family and I, we ate the ENTIRE CRACK PIE without one picture taken. I admire those with the self-restraint to take time to document their Crack Pie experience for posterity. I will need to order another and try again...</span><br />

I'll take a nice picture and post it tomorrow...right now I just want to relish this experience. I'm hooked!!!</i> (And the picture never happened)</span><br />

Wow! It became a new experience. I prefer to be sparing with my drizzle as the taste and texture of the Crack Pie itself is heaven to my taste buds. My husband on the other hand adds a layer of drizzle and loves it that way. I think that's another reason I enjoy the experience because the flavors and textures are so wonderfully unexpected, yet Lalaine honors our unique perspective and likes by giving us the power to choose our drizzle. </span><br />

I don't know how she makes it taste so light and crispy at the same time. It has a hint of sweetness yet provides a beautiful flavor balance for the airy-velvety goodness of the filling. It's like the perfect "gift wrap" on the best birthday present...It really is that good. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Lalaine is not a professionally trained baker, chef, or cook. She learned how to cook at a very young age (5) and took her first Home Ec class in 7th grade. For years she watched her aunts and her dad cook, but baking didn't come to her until 7th grade, and even then it was sporadic at best. Lalaine says, <i>"Even as an adult, she would bake the usual brownies and Betty Crocker cakes, etc. Nothing extraordinary, nothing fancy.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><i>I never imagined that I'd ever be turning this in to a business. But, my turning point came on December 31, 2014 when I brought a cheesecake to a dear friend of mine in L.A. I'd never baked for her before, and this was the very first time she'd ever tasted anything that I'd made. She took one bit, looked at me, said, "Oh my God this is soooo good!", then she said, "This is a business ... " And the rest is history ... I believe that God works in His ways, and puts things in to place and in to work. </i></span><br />

The breeds or dog types that suffer the greatest casualties are Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas and their mixes. Shows like The Dog Whisperer, Shelter Dogs, Lucky Dog and others have shown the general public that shelter dogs make great family additions. They've let us see how even the most neglected and abused dogs can learn to trust again and find balance and love.

<b style="color: #073763;">Arleen Hurtado</b><span style="color: #073763;"> is one of our favorite artists. Her live performances are charged with passion and precision. When she dances she brings forth the strength and graces of her Iberian ancestors. She transports her audiences to another place and time. Arleen’s flamenco is the embodiment of the powerful force of nature that is the feminine. She uses her body to tell the age-old stories of distant lands, of battles won and lost, of heartbreak, of triumph and of culture. Even in her subtle hand movements she brings intention and expression. Her passionate interpretation of traditional flamenco has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. While Arleen’s technical ability is superb, it’s her passion that distinguishes her art. </span><i style="color: #073763;">“Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.” </i><span style="color: #073763;">Martha Graham</span><br />

He is a graduate from Cerritos College and is transferring to Cal State Long Beach in the Fall. He divides most of his time between church, his girlfriend and Tiger, his 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard Reissue Guitar. Cooper is an example of courage and living with an open heart as he has never shared his music with an audience nor has he ever performed in front of a crowd yet when he heard about Ke-ola’s story he put all doubts and fears aside to come to the aid of another. He will be sharing 4 of his songs at our Arts Open House and Ke-ola Rehab Fundraiser on May 31st. He attributes a great deal of gratitude to his close friend, Evan and his father Mike, not only for agreeing to play in his band “Something Else” but for their generous support of his music. </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Jon Luce</b> has an unconventional spirit and it translates into his art. His art is a dichotomy. While his work is always refined and aesthetically beautiful he enjoys challenging us with shocking or unexpected subject matter. He asks us through his work to look past convention, to push past our comfort zones and to explore the truth that only our “shadow selves” can provide. When he is not drawing and tattooing ideas for other people, he spends his time creating his own weird and twisted art. <i>“I have a strange view of things sometimes and grew up with strange influences such as H.R. Giger and Clive Barker and movies like Hellraiser and Nightmare on Elm Street. I am slightly morbid and dark sometimes, like my suicidal veggie line of paintings, but also love to see beauty in all things, not just what is typical or popular.”</i> JL</span><br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0cmds1VBSUg/VVZkVCEE1gI/AAAAAAAAI44/iDCXNyi85rM/s1600/11210191_892173877487805_842129256_n%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="189" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0cmds1VBSUg/VVZkVCEE1gI/AAAAAAAAI44/iDCXNyi85rM/s200/11210191_892173877487805_842129256_n%2B2.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Mahea Mogote is a graceful as well as powerful young artist. She has multifaceted talents and interests. As a dancer she communicates her emotions flawlessly through her movement as she shares her ancestral heritage, as a martial artist she brings grace to efficiency and demonstrates the power of the feminine beautifully, as a painter she draws from her heart with vibrancy, honesty and history. She is a renaissance artist and woman holding fast to her cultural roots and at the same time reaching out to the world and learning new things. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">She has always felt at home in nature, as a young child she could be found in a corner of the yard communing with a praying mantis or admiring a butterfly. Even now she is happy to share an outdoor lunch with the random rattlesnake. This connection with the natural world feeds her MANA and has given her a special understanding of movement and form. <i>“Look deep into nature and you will understand everything better.”</i> ~ Albert Einstein</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yt08_24slBQ/VVZj5LBBxPI/AAAAAAAAI40/JioctVViPoU/s1600/11119188_892173884154471_673401401_n%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="138" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yt08_24slBQ/VVZj5LBBxPI/AAAAAAAAI40/JioctVViPoU/s200/11119188_892173884154471_673401401_n%2B2.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="color: #073763;">Mahea is a fifth generation Polynesian dancer. She dances with the world-renowned Polynesian dance group Nonosina. Nonosina was founded by Mahea’s great-grandmother, Estella Nonosina Reid, and they are blessed to still have her love and guidance today. She loves dancing with her family’s group and sharing her culture in places like Hawai’i, ‘Oahu, Tahiti, Mo’orea and all over California. Her most recent performance was on Merrie Monarchs big stage in Hilo Hawai’i where she was honored to be the youngest dancer of her Nonosina group.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Y-wd4Ymi4D8/VU5Xn6ZOtzI/AAAAAAAAI3c/RQLoCGbh5hI/s640/blogger-image-1622238214.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="137" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Y-wd4Ymi4D8/VU5Xn6ZOtzI/AAAAAAAAI3c/RQLoCGbh5hI/s200/blogger-image-1622238214.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="color: #073763;">Growing up Mahea was greatly influenced by her Polynesian side. She has completed numerous Kamehameha schools explorations camps- Ho’omaka’ika’i, Ho’olauna and Kulia Ika Pono. These camps are only offered to those of Hawaiian heritage. Her Polynesian heritage is the inspiration for most of her paintings and sketches.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2woeok2zbZU/VVZjgj_eqKI/AAAAAAAAI4g/qG1JdQf33Ng/s1600/11216495_892173087487884_1939209870_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2woeok2zbZU/VVZjgj_eqKI/AAAAAAAAI4g/qG1JdQf33Ng/s200/11216495_892173087487884_1939209870_n.jpg" width="133" /></a><span style="color: #073763;">Mahea is also an accomplished martial artist. She chose to learn more about her Filipino heritage through training and eventually earning her Black Belt in a Filipino Martial Arts system called <a href="http://paamanoeskrima.com/" target="_blank">PaaMano Eskrima</a>. She boldly represented women in the art as many times she was the only girl in a class full of men. Even at a young age Mahea wanted to prove that women and girls had a rightful place in the male dominated martial arts arena. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TB_KAOyFVbs/VVZjrsoeecI/AAAAAAAAI4o/ZOGnX3vzhA8/s1600/11225785_892173084154551_1674682311_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TB_KAOyFVbs/VVZjrsoeecI/AAAAAAAAI4o/ZOGnX3vzhA8/s200/11225785_892173084154551_1674682311_n.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She was also part of the <a href="http://paamanoeskrima.com/" target="_blank">PaaMano Eskrima and Performing Arts 2012 Company</a> that toured California from San Francisco to San Diego. The PME Performing Arts company not only shared the Filipino Martial Arts but also honored important historical figures, brought awareness for endangered species (Haring Ibon or Philippines Eagle) and shared the beauty of the Filipino culture. Mahea proudly represented the great female warrior Gabriela Silang. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As a visual artist Mahea works mainly with acrylic & oil paints. Her work is bold and is clearly influenced by her love of nature and her love of everything Polynesian. Her paintings have a beautiful simplicity and authenticity. Gazing into one of her works, one is transported to a place where the air is balmy and the water is clear and warm. Mahea’s paintings and drawings are reminiscent of Kristian Zambucka’s. </span><br />

His art is a dichotomy. While his work is always refined and aesthetically beautiful he enjoys challenging us with shocking or unexpected subject matter. He asks us through his work to look past convention, to push past our comfort zones and to explore the truth that only our <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evil-deeds/201204/essential-secrets-psychotherapy-what-is-the-shadow" target="_blank">“shadow selves”</a> can provide. </span><br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Jon’s perspective of himself being an artist was much the same as most of us. Growing up he always loved the arts and enjoyed being creative but never thought of himself as an artist. It took meeting his muse and soul mate as an adult to help him awaken the slumbering artist that had always been inside of him. </span><br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br></span>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fj5haYWWJJE/VWJVVc0mlxI/AAAAAAAAJAQ/5nRJX9sTWUs/s1600/10427360_695187137249066_6053571627114485978_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fj5haYWWJJE/VWJVVc0mlxI/AAAAAAAAJAQ/5nRJX9sTWUs/s200/10427360_695187137249066_6053571627114485978_n.jpg" width="156"></a>
<span style="color: #073763;">He was born and raised in Southern California. Jon’s family was always supportive of any artistic endeavors he had as a kid. He played several instruments, switching almost every year to a new one and yet his family never complained. He started where most kids do - loving cartoons, video games and comics. His favorites were Garfield comic strips and superhero comics like Spiderman, X-Men and Spawn. </span><br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">At an early age Jon was able to see art that inspired him in things that most people considered kid’s stuff. He appreciated the great art that he found in unexpected places. Artists like Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, Frank Miller, Stephen Platt and Simon Bisley began to fill his comic book bins solely for the art. </span><br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VsvLysxIQM0/VWJVVXinqhI/AAAAAAAAJAg/2YyJI90JM6Q/s1600/1922014_620652448035869_688029313805137973_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VsvLysxIQM0/VWJVVXinqhI/AAAAAAAAJAg/2YyJI90JM6Q/s200/1922014_620652448035869_688029313805137973_n.jpg" width="151"></a><span style="color: #073763;">Jon was equally inspired when he found a new type of cartoon, Anime and most importantly, 'Akira'. He says, <i>‘Akira’ was the anime that changed my life. To see the level of artistic talent, the lifelike characters, the shadows and movement. I was shown more about art than I could fully appreciate at that age, I didn't realize what possibilities could be yet”. </i></span><br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">He dabbled with art classes in high school, but took them no more seriously than his guitar classes. They were like hobbies to him at the time, not really believing he could do anything with either of them. He tried starting bands with friends and wrote comic books in garages, but never got anything really going. </span><br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br></span>
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2ZFMf6DUgbw/VWJFrczzMtI/AAAAAAAAI_4/QBEDxkmb1HM/s640/blogger-image-1464238668.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: #073763;"><img border="0" height="199" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2ZFMf6DUgbw/VWJFrczzMtI/AAAAAAAAI_4/QBEDxkmb1HM/s200/blogger-image-1464238668.jpg" width="200"></span></a><span style="color: #073763;">He 'grew up' as most people do and got a job at the end of high school, moving through different careers and positions of all types. He worked fast food, escrow, courier, waiter, security, telemarketing, video game tester, database manager, theft deterrent, etc. All the while he would doodle or draw funny pictures for friends and family, still not considering that he could be an artist. During this time he met his wife and soul mate Denise. Jon says, <i>“If not for meeting someone like her and being all I can be for her, I may have never tried to be an artist. I married my perfect bride on Halloween, also one of our favorite holidays, as again we don’t always find the typical as inviting as others may.”</i></span><br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><i><br></i></span>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8VSla3lT0HU/VWJVV34zD2I/AAAAAAAAJAk/AgrpuCJiqDU/s1600/1937473_10201687652353667_1237689870734696139_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8VSla3lT0HU/VWJVV34zD2I/AAAAAAAAJAk/AgrpuCJiqDU/s200/1937473_10201687652353667_1237689870734696139_n.jpg" width="199"></a><span style="color: #073763;">His friends encouraged him to do tattoos. He had loved some of the evolving artists like Paul Booth and Carl Grace, so with his wife's encouragement and his friends connections, fate led him to an apprenticeship. One requirement that his mentor Nate had was that Jon needed to go to school while apprenticing to further develop his art. That experience shifted Jon’s paradigm. He began to see other great artists besides the well-known Picasso, DaVinci, etc. He saw a plethora of art in many forms. He not only got to meet and appreciate the work of old masters previously unknown to him but was equally inspired by some of the students sitting right next to him in class. Jon says from that experience, <i>“The artist was born and I have not looked back since then”. JL</i></span><br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><i><br></i></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o0WF0eXHq_Y/VWJVVbf67EI/AAAAAAAAJAU/jP3SZ5Cd5LE/s1600/1466262_431505163668287_6093086819830665989_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o0WF0eXHq_Y/VWJVVbf67EI/AAAAAAAAJAU/jP3SZ5Cd5LE/s200/1466262_431505163668287_6093086819830665989_n.jpg" width="200"></a>
<span style="color: #073763;">Jon is an eternal student, after graduating apprenticeship, he has continued his learning and schooling and continues to this day. He is a freelance tattoo artist and could not be happier. <i>“I love being able to take a cherished memory or idea and give it to someone forever. Making them feel whole, or healed again after having a bad tattoo experience. Whether the experience be from a bad artist, having to cover the name of an ex, or to help cover a scar.” </i> JL</span><br>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cC4XpeQnOUA/VWJVb3ivQmI/AAAAAAAAJBE/IIE90dD-9ig/s1600/11045322_677610725673374_5435571097344530925_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cC4XpeQnOUA/VWJVb3ivQmI/AAAAAAAAJBE/IIE90dD-9ig/s200/11045322_677610725673374_5435571097344530925_n.jpg" width="200"></a><span style="color: #073763;"><br></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When he is not drawing and tattooing ideas for other people, he spends his time creating his own weird and twisted art. <i>“I have a strange view of things sometimes and grew up with strange influences such as H.R. Giger and Clive Barker and movies like Hellraiser and Nightmare on Elm Street. I am slightly morbid and dark sometimes, like my suicidal veggie line of paintings, but also love to see beauty in all things, not just what is typical or popular.”</i> JL</span><br>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WJxGj3YTLgM/VWJVb4yxXrI/AAAAAAAAJA4/SYVsqTOQ5fs/s1600/11008427_699306040170509_4090254736393029728_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WJxGj3YTLgM/VWJVb4yxXrI/AAAAAAAAJA4/SYVsqTOQ5fs/s200/11008427_699306040170509_4090254736393029728_n.jpg" width="158"></a><span style="color: #073763;"><br></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Jon is now pushing past his own artistic boundaries and his personal comfort zone by sharing more of his work with the public. <i>“I am trying to do more of my own art and put my work out to others, letting them see some of the beauty I see in things not typically noted as such.”</i> JL</span><br>

<span style="color: #073763;">Cooper Streegan-Hagen is an inspired 23-year-old musician from Southern California. He is a graduate from Cerritos College and is transferring to Cal State Long Beach in the Fall. He divides most of his time between church, his girlfriend and Tiger, his 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard Reissue Guitar.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br />Cooper’s electric blues-rock musical journey began four years ago. Interestingly enough his musical journey actually started when he was much younger but he only took lessons for a couple of months before quitting his formal instruction. It wasn’t until he was 19 years old that he started to get serious about his music. Cooper was prompted on his musical path by a very important person in his life that was influential to his music. He lost this dear person in a car crash but before he died he told Cooper that he should never stop playing his music. Cooper has this to say, <i>“It's on this journey and from that death that I have been grateful enough to discover the music I love today like B.B. King and Mark Knopfler. These heroes that came before me have helped me shape my sound in so many ways it's hard for me to imagine my music and playing without their tremendous inspiration. My love for blues, classic rock, and jazz music goes very deep. I am not technical in my playing by any means or musically sound theory wise, but it is the sound I hear in those types of music that echo with my soul both in the bad times and the good times. There are no regrets in my life about where I am or where I am going, but I trust in God that he will always provide blessings for me when I seek them. He has blessed me in so many ways”.</i></span><br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1x8YDwwQoQQ/VWEq0bgBZFI/AAAAAAAAI-Y/hbglOj7d9Og/s1600/IMG_0339.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1x8YDwwQoQQ/VWEq0bgBZFI/AAAAAAAAI-Y/hbglOj7d9Og/s200/IMG_0339.JPG" width="147" /></a><span style="color: #073763;">Cooper is an example of courage and living with an open heart as he has never shared his music with an audience nor has he ever performed in front of a crowd yet when he heard about <a href="http://iloveshelterdogs.blogspot.com/2015/01/one-year-anniversary-of-ke-olalife.html" target="_blank">Ke-ola’s story</a> he put all doubts and fears aside to come to the aid of another. He will be sharing 4 of his songs at our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/979319725413761/" target="_blank">Arts Open House and Ke-ola Rehab Fundraiser on May 31st.</a> He attributes a great deal of gratitude to his close friend, Evan and his father Mike, not only for agreeing to play in his band “Something Else” but for their generous support of his music. Cooper says, <i>“My band members Evan and his dad Mike are the best artists I know at their craft. We all go to the same church as well so it was easy for me to choose them because we have played at my church's worship ministry together. Evan's dad is a superb musician who is far more talented than I am in many ways. He is someone I look up to guitar playing wise at least. Evan is a great drummer and probably the most passionate drummer I know, and although he isn't formally trained like I am he knows how to keep a beat in almost any style. I feel so very privileged for them to be playing with me for this event as none of this could have been possible without their support”.</i></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Aw-DZYHiDRs/VWEq0Gv0iZI/AAAAAAAAI-U/5D1a-PvgyOA/s1600/IMG_0344.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Aw-DZYHiDRs/VWEq0Gv0iZI/AAAAAAAAI-U/5D1a-PvgyOA/s200/IMG_0344.JPG" width="139" /></a><span style="color: #073763;">About Tiger: <i>“The guitar I sling around my shoulders is a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard Reissue which I have named "Tiger" because of the flame on the wood. It is my only and favorite guitar thus far as I feel it is the perfect tool for the music I like to play. When I plug it straight into my Marshall amplifiers I get a sound that is pure musical bliss to my ears. Nothing makes me happier then the sound of my guitar through my Marshalls, and they help deliver a wide tonal palette for me to express myself through my music. I have a huge grin right now writing about the sound that comes out of this combination because I am very fortunate to have what I have in Tiger. Tiger just always wants to sing for me, and Tiger inspires me to take my time and listen to what I am playing rather than rush though by playing quickly.”</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Cooper chose the stage name "Something Else" because of his father. His dad thought it would be a good name because he believes Cooper is “something else” when he gets into trouble…especially when he plays at night, <i>“I can't play very loud often either as my family gets annoyed by all the loud sounds and ruckus I make sometimes when I am playing guitar at night by myself”.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">He dreams of someday being able to play with his musical heroes not from of place of arrogance but from a place of undying gratitude.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>“There are things in a person's life that shape who they are, music is one of those things for me. It has shaped my life in important ways and it means so very much to me. I hope my story will inspire others to hold fast to their dreams and to pursue their passions.”</i> ~ Cooper</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Denise Luce of {DL} Art Photography & Design brings her creative touch and compassionate eye to everything she does. Her work is a reflection of the depths of her soul, her strength and her unique perspective of life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Denise was born in Saarlouis, Germany. Growing up in Germany her parents always encouraged her creative endeavors, from drawing and painting to fantasy make-up, sculpting, and different types of mixed media projects. Denise’s family had a tremendous impact in her artistic development and in her appreciation for different art forms, mediums and disciplines. Baking is one of the creative art forms she has shared with her mother and grandmother ever since she was old enough to bake, which later turned into one of Denise’s passions…creative cake decorating. </span><br />

Both she and her husband are artists. They share a love of the arts and are each other’s greatest supporters. Denise is a multifaceted artist with a wide scope including photography, graphic design, costume design, cake art, and developing company logos and branding. </span><br />

She is an advocate for the beauty found in all women. She feels a commitment to helping women of all ages, shapes, colors, and sizes see their beauty by using her photography knowledge and skills. Denise shares, <i>“I very strongly believe that everyone should have photos of themselves that they love. Too many of us, especially women, agonize too often over how bad/fat/ugly we look in photos. I could go on and on about this, but what I've found is: There is beauty in everyone and everything. Beautiful light, the right angle etc will show YOU what your family, friends see in you every day, but you have a hard time seeing. Celebrating femininity is very close to my heart, in all its shapes, sizes, styles, etc. from portraits, pin-up, boudoir to maternity sessions and more”</i>.</span><br />

Denise enjoys using its editing capabilities to create photographs that take us to magical kingdoms, have us fleeing for our lives from Godzilla or turn us into our Klingon doppelganger. She’s also avid with more traditional applications like restoring family photos, touching up portraits and enhancing/balancing color. </span><br />

After adopting his own personal dog Murphy and working with him one-on-one he knew he could help other people better understand their dogs as well. He is calm-assertive, fearless, strong minded and optimistic. These traits play a huge roll in keeping dogs calm, balanced and helps them over come the "issues" they present with. </span><br />

He understands the special and powerful bond between dogs and their humans and does all he can to strengthen it through education and understanding. </span><span style="color: #073763;">He's an open hearted person and uses this energy</span><span style="color: #073763;"> to better understand clients and their relationships with their dogs. He helps people discover how their dog sees them and helps them learn how to be better leaders for their beloved dog(s). Nick's motto is, <i>"there's no such thing as impossible, there's always a way to bring balance and healing to any dog"</i>. </span><br />

Many dog "issues" stem from the environment they are given and conditioning by the humans they live with. </i></span><i><span style="color: #073763;">People are limited in truly understanding the reason for a dog's behavior. Most of us have a misguided idea that </span></i><i><span style="color: #073763;">we know the way dogs think and feel by projecting our emotions and intellect on their behavior. </span></i><i><span style="color: #073763;">F</span></i><i><span style="color: #073763;">requently our perception is wrong and in reality it's the exact opposite of how dogs operate. </span></i><i><span style="color: #073763;">People lack the knowledge of who their dog really is from the dogs perspective and see them only through human psychology. </span></i><br />

It also makes dogs unconditional in everything they do. Many people don't realize that they communicate or project their emotions of anxiety, fear, depression, guilt, sadness, overexcitement, etc. on to their dogs. Whether this is done directly or indirectly, this is when the issues start to arise. We then see the dog developed insecurity, fear, anxiety, dominance or aggression issues themselves. That's where I come in and help people better understand who their dog is as an individual and how to communicate through a much more balanced way of being. I teach the importance of knowing when to be a calm-assertive leader and the proper time to share affection, play and joy. These points are immensely important when creating a balanced, heathy and strong bond with your dog. That's the way you'll gain their trust, respect and loyalty as well. </i></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><i><i><br /></i></i></span>
<br />
<i><span style="color: #073763;">The easiest thing for people to do is "love" their dog(s) by sharing affection, treats, and toys yet none of these really fulfill who your dog is as an animal or as a canine. </span><span style="color: #073763;">It is important we learn how to be in the moment with them (dogs), fulfilling their individual needs everyday and learning to let go and set aside our own personal needs and emotions when we are with them. That's the genuine definition of love for our dog(s) and how we show our dogs, in a language they can understand, that we truly love them. </span></i><br />

Here is what Nick has to say about her: She is one of the most naturally gifted dog handlers I have ever seen even compared to many other professional dog trainers and behaviorist I've met. Even though just a year ago she had zero knowledge of how to work with dogs or lead a pack of dogs, today she is a strong pack leader. She learned so fast because of her openness and natural ability to gain a dog's trust and respect without using words or intellect but through pure feeling and sensing the dog's energy. Her unwavering calmness, fearlessness and when needed, assertiveness makes her an amazing person to have as a partner and one of the only people I have met so far with the natural ability to handle a large group of powerful dogs while keeping them calm and balanced. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Nick and Kianah also work tirelessly to find foster or forever homes for some of the special dogs that they have worked with. Adoption is such a beautiful gift for the animal and for the person. And fostering saves lives as well. Please consider these beauties if you're looking for an addition to your family. </span><br />

Arleen is one of our favorite artists. Her live performances are charged with passion and precision. When she dances she brings forth the strength and graces of her Iberian ancestors. She transports her audiences to another place and time.</span></div>

She uses her body to tell the age-old stories of distant lands, of battles won and lost, of heartbreak, of triumph and of culture. Even in her subtle hand movements she brings intention and expression. Her passionate interpretation of traditional flamenco has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. While Arleen’s technical ability is superb, it’s her passion that distinguishes her art. <i>“Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.”</i> Martha Graham</span></div>

While she has performed and shared traditional flamenco in film, television and venues worldwide, one can also find her locally on stages like the Zulu Lounge, courageously sharing her unique dance fusion accompanied by the equally passionate and unique sounds of <a href="http://www.flametal.com/" target="_blank">Flametal</a> (flamenco metal heavy fusion Spanish guitar). </span></div>

Early in life she began playing the drums and trained in ballet, jazz and tap. As a child she discovered flamenco on a trip to Spain, which appealed to her passion for both dance and percussion. Arleen pursued her study of flamenco in Seville and Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, New Mexico, New York and California with world-renowned artists. For the last 18 years she has performed around the world, including several tours of the United States, as well as performances in United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Spain, Italy, China and India. In the US she has performed in theaters including Carnegie Hall in New York, Red Rocks in Denver and the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. Arleen has been featured in music videos, commercials, television, print ads and three PBS specials. Based in Los Angeles, Arleen teaches weekly flamenco classes and continues to perform and tour.</span></div>

Not only do her students benefit from her 18 years of experience performing at venues worldwide but they also get a kind, encouraging and patient teacher. Her classes are perfect for beginners as well as for advanced students. Arleen has the ability to breakdown technique in the most fundamental of ways all the while keeping students entertained and engaged. I had the honor of training with her and was blown away in every class. Her positive energy is infectious and I found it would spillover into my daily life. Through flamenco, Arleen helps her students tap into their sense of personal power and inner grace. If you live in Southern California and have ever wanted to experince flamenco sign up to one of her classes in Los Angeles or Orange County.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Award-winning poet and author Barbara Eknoian affirms with warmth and wit how you can go home again, and shows that you can take the girl out of New Jersey, place her in the fun and sun of California, but you can’t take New Jersey out of the girl. Sit a spell, play the Platters or Nat King Cole’s “A Blossom Fell,” and read how sweetly Barbara casts her spell of eternal, heartfelt longing—her unforgettable hiraeth—for her old New Jersey hearth. She builds vignettes of long-gone family and friends—sometimes ominous—and as fragile and fleeting as snowflakes. Barbara’s tender recollections break bread with her reader as she shares her intimate word album and gently invites us to “come look at another kind of beauty,” and asks in her poem, “Holding On”: “How can you toss out a memory?”</i> </span><span style="color: #073763;">Description by Joan Jobe Smith, author, poet, and founding editor of Pearl and Bukowski Review</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">SELF-PORTRAIT</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">by Barbara Eknoian</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">See the little girl,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">quiet and shy,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">after a family blow-up,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">warily observing</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">the grown-ups.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">See the teenager</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">longing to be asked</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">to dance a slow number</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">with that handsome boy,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">and then at sixteen</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">unaware</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">that she was looking her best</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">drifting in the rowboat</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">imagining</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">the world before her.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">See the shy bride,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">almost twenty-one,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">marrying a little too soon,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">praying</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">she’s made the right choice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">See the young mom</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">moving across country</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">homesick</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">away from family</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">and dear friends,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">and the young woman</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">back at school,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">serving as editor</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">of the college paper,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">then leaving to care</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">for her family.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">See the woman</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">thrilled to celebrate</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">her 50th anniversary,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">and now the widow</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">still longing</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">for the dance.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">It's the l950's. Teenager, Susie Di Pietro, lives near the projects in New Jersey. Bookies stand on the corner by the candy store and sound like characters from Guys and Dolls. Everyone plays the numbers, even young Susie.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Throughout her high school years, she's painfully aware that her pal, Ginger, and she are wallflowers. Susie shares her romantic tribulations, her trials with her teachers, and funny incidents that happen to her while she is growing up.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Chances Are is a charming coming-of-age novel that will take you on a nostalgic trip: dancing to Johnny Mathis, Elvis, and The Platters. It will trigger fond memories for some readers of their teen years, and give younger readers a picture of that special era, "The Fifties."</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">A short-story Romance </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Laura Bingham, a 40-year-old attractive widow with a 17-year-old daughter has put her life on hold to be the perfect single parent. Her hobby is writing and she submits a story on-line, and is miffed when the editor, unfavorably critiques her work. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Co-incidentally they wind up on-line at the same time, and discuss her work. He suggests she retry his publication, but wants her to change it according to his perspective. In the meantime, both her best friend and mom, coax her to join SOULMATES, because she never dates and is missing out on life. Her usual reply is, “I’m holding out for George Clooney.” They assume that she’s kidding, and are not aware that she seriously fantasizes about him and lives vicariously in her daydreams. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When she develops writer’s block and is at a loss for a subject to write about, her best friend suggests, “Why not write about Clooney.” </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Without hesitation, she writes the story and submits it to Steve Hudson, the editor, who had originally turned down her earlier story. Surprisingly, this editor invites her to a writing conference where he’s one of the main speakers. He is quite charming when they meet, but not at all George Clooney-like. Nonetheless he invites her to dinner at the Rainbow Room high above Manhattan... </span><br />

<div style="color: #073763;">
We are excited to announce that we will be sharing this film with our audiences on Nov. 15, 2014 at our In the Flow Studios Arts Showcase and Film Debut. For more information about our event please use link at the bottom of page.</div>
<div style="color: #073763;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #073763;">
"The Blue Marble of Joys and Sorrows" is a unique and powerful independent short film directed by filmmaker, composer cinematographer, Paolo Pizzi. Paolo takes the viewer on a moving visual and audio journey from the outer-reaches of the cosmos to the the beautiful blue sphere we call Earth. His images and music are perfectly balanced communicating humanity's story without need of verbal dialog. </div>
<div style="color: #073763;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #073763;">
Paolo uses images of the epic beauty found on our planet and then challenges us with images of the needless suffering brought about by greed, apathy and oppression. He shows us in no uncertain terms what is possible and how poorly we are measuring up to humanity's potential. The film concludes with the most important message and most powerful force in the universe...LOVE. From start to finish "The Blue Marble of Joys and Sorrows" is a feast for the senses. It speaks to our most basic of human emotions and asks us to remember that this world is full of wonders. It asks us to acknowledge the pain, suffering and injustice known by far too many and to find our strength to change the it by remembering our capacity to love. The film ends with a poem written over 150 years ago yet still poignantly relative. </div>

He works as film composer, arranger and artistic producer. The Blue Marble of Joys and Sorrows is his first film as a director, a musical journey through the human experience. An example of 'poetic cinema' – film with no dialogue: just music and images. Unlike with conventional films, the music for each of the five chapters was written first, then the images were added to emphasize the message.</span> <a href="http://www.play4movie.com/en/News/Paolo-Pizzi-Wins-at-Global-Music-Awards-3061" target="_blank">Play4Music News</a><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">We are over-the-moon to have Alexandra Perdew as one of our featured performing artists. She is an amazing performer and has shared her art nationally and internationally. She has an extensive list of credentials as a professional harpist, yet she is the most unassuming, caring, authentic, down-to-earth artist around. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lUo6JFgND6E/U_BOHKTtWrI/AAAAAAAAHWo/8A5eJ5TrfHs/s1600/IMG_0559.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lUo6JFgND6E/U_BOHKTtWrI/AAAAAAAAHWo/8A5eJ5TrfHs/s1600/IMG_0559.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a><span style="color: #0b5394;">She has made time in her busy schedule, commuting from San Francisco to Westwood, to perform for our Arts Open House and ICARE Dog Rescue Fundraiser this Sunday. Alexandra is a dog-lover. She rescued her baby Buddy from an abusive past and gave him the life of his dreams. Buddy even accompanies Alexandra to work whenever he can. When we told Alexandra a little bit about the great work ICARE does for abused, neglected and hurt dogs, she stepped up to help right away. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Here's a small bit of those extensive credentials we wrote about.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Alexandra received her Bachelor's Degree from DePauw University in 2000, majoring in Music and Anthropology with a minor in Chemistry, after having spent her junior year studying harp at the University of Oregon. She then received her Master's Degree from Roosevelt University in Orchestral Studies in 2002, and did post graduate work at the University of Southern California in Harp Performance and Anthropology.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">During her years of study, Alexandra's harp teachers included: Sarah Bullen, Sally Maxwell, Edward Druzinsky, JoAnn Turovsky, Harriet Thompson Moore, Cara Bershad, Faye Seeman, Joy Andreasen, and Neva Lydiard. She has also performed in many master classes given by such internationally known harpists as Skaila Kanga, Jana Bouskova, Marie Pierre Langlamet, and Bryn Lewis.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">She has performed extensively throughout the country as a soloist, with small ensembles, as an orchestral harpist, and has appeared on ABC. Alexandra's playing, "Is filled with care, artistry, and mature interpretation. She is a talented musician, well rounded in her knowledge of music, and has a healthy curiosity in areas beyond music." (Donald Chen, conductor, faculty Roosevelt University.) "Everything I heard was sensitive, artistic, and had beautiful intonation." (Richard Ferrin, violist emeritus, Chicago Symphony Orchestra).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Alexandra has been teaching harp for twelve years through her personal harp studio in Chicago, IL; at the University of Southern California as a Teaching Assistant, and now at her studios in Anaheim and Palos Verdes. Alexandra utilizes the ABRSM program in her teaching as well as molding programs to fit young adults and adult beginners.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Apart from Harp Activities, Alexandra also enjoys coaching rowing and participating in sports and writing articles for various journals including: The Journal of the American Harp Society, Chicago Health Magazine, and Atlanta Health Magazine. Alexandra is a strong supporter of the American Harp Society through the competitions and local chapters. She has served as one of the main directors of the Anne Adams Awards Auditions for eight years, and has also helped to run the National Competitions.</span><br />
