Celebrating a beautiful year of life on this Planet!

Posted on Apr 5th, 2007 by sacred : Breathing With You sacred
Blessings to you all on this magnificent day of manifestation!  We are all beings creting this together and I am grateful to be amongst you all whom have gathered here.  It is April the 5th 2007, and that means officially I have been alive in this current incarnation for 34 years!

This year has been monumental in ways I had not even fathomed up until this point.  I suppose to some extent that is what life is all about.  truly I am blessed, and honored to be sitting here at 3:35 in the morning reflecting this all here with you.  Last year at this time, I was sitting on the stage by the ocean at our previous house in Hawaii celebrating and remanicsing with my father who actually shares this day of birth with me!  Of course not the same year, but April the 5th.  his year actually 1939 and mine 1973.  Wow, the span of generations and all the places that we have come since 1939.  I am so blessed to share this special day with an amazing man of this caliber.

In the year since many things have occured to offer lessons of healing the answers in which we have come to recieve.  This next year to come I receive with open arms as I create the now, embracing the foundation of breath.  Bringing into my life, solid relationships with my children and my beloved partner in life, maintaing a beautiful family of love and compassion.  Through this beauty we are creating strength of union in all the projects and ventures we embark upon.  I see the financial abundance flowing in multiple rivers providing the tools for effective social and environmental change. 

I am grateful for the tools, the friends and visions experienced at Vision Force Bootcamp.  Blessed I am to recieve your reflections of joy and light.  We continue to stand together, strengthened by the ~i~ in each and every one of us. 

I wil write more later as I am beginning to fade and realize how warm and comfortable it is in bed with Nicloe and Aleia right now.  I will awake tomorrow, and play a round of golf with Nicole, Aleia and Hunter, Kaya and Irie another family from Hawaii who have experienced a very similar experience in the hospital world.  After we play golf we will journey to the beach for fire and muisic.  Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes>  Thank you for your stand as we walk this sacred journey together.  I am one with you all and my breath as I breathe deeply, grounds this prayer of health, wealth love, and prosperity.  Through you all I am blessed.

Hawai'i Island of Sustainability

Posted on Apr 15th, 2007 by sacred : Breathing With You sacred
I am grateful to have this time to reflect and share with you this beautiful vision of community Health and Wellness. 

The conception of Green Source Hawai'i, has come through the life experience as a loving being of earth and her peoples.  Since arriving on this beautiful aina, I have had the pleasure of the introduction of the true spirit of Aloha and the culture of this beautiful island of breath, it is my honor to stand with and for Hawai'i and her peoples

On the winter solstice December 21st  2005, we (Nicole and I d.b.a. Sacred Designs) held the first community meeting in the space at 79-7401 Mamalahoa Hwy to gather local community members to discuss the creation and operation of "Lokahi Village".  Our eyes were set on the acquisition of the "old Ben Franklin building" located in Kainaliu town in the mauka village south of Kailua-Kona to become the gathering space of community health and wellness.  At this time, we were actively negotiating the purchase of the building for months. The goal, complete a green retrofit of the building adhering to the then current LEED standards( a set of green standards established by the United States Green Building Council).  After renovation the building would then be leased to individuals with the passion to create health and wellness through community.  The plan consists of a Tea House, Local market with fresh fruits, flowers and juice, community art gallery wall, local kine crafts and performance and lounge area complete with recording studio downstairs with a day spa and yoga/dance/martial arts studio upstairs. 

After many negotiations and the acknowledgment of the work, money and time involved, it was time to gather the troops.  We then proceeded to develop business plans, renderings of the building and creative ways of financing the remodel and purchase.  Aha! A Makeover TV show!  Green Extreme Community Makeover TV.  A way to gather the community together, inspire movement, celebrate diversity and attract sponsorship necessary to bring attention to the importance of greening our environment.  A show that inspires creativity and action in communities across the globe, a way to bring consciousness into mainstream media. Through many efforts to raise community awareness, we drew attention of very few initially, partially due to exposure as well as our preparedness of the vision.  

In May of the next year, our planning had developed substantially, attracting the interest of many partnerships and alliances, who simply wanted to see the team of community members who were going to show up and make it work.   We held another meeting that May at a local zen boutique and attracted 70 or so community members(see article West Hawaii Today June, 4 2006).  The buzz was created and the weeks following I continued to watch the community connections begin to occur.   We have such a diverse and culturally rich community with widely spread resources that instantly as connections are made, great and magical events begin. 

With much research and financial sacrifice we continued on the quest to establish a working plan to bring the vision into reality, and part of that reality was starting small and generate and gather the team and resources in order to create the larger picture.   In October 2006 a local business owner informed us of a building coming available and she said we should check it out!  79-7412 Mamlahoa Hwy. , just south of the original building and it has the most substantial parking in town.  So we start small!   We have now rented the building and with a skeleton crew have begun the necessary steps to create a smaller template of the big vision. 

Due to the cicumstances of Universal order, short of a month after signing the lease, our daughter Aleia, then 10 weeks old stopped breathing, and we rushed to the hospital on November 25th 2006.  We are now, almost five months later, still in San Diego where we have been receiving care for her beautiful heart.  In two weeks time, we are returning to the Big Island to bring her back to her home.  So, with that said, for the last five months, the Green Source Center has taken a back seat until now.  We have been coordinating with the core group there holding the space and keeping things alive. 

At the new year, the community gathered together to create one of the most touching events I have ever experienced, Circus Joyous.  This event was created as a fundraiser for Aleia and our family as well as the culmination of one community member's dream!  A success already!  Children were dressed as monkeys, performing fun feats of fantasm, stilt walkers hailed in the streets, pop corn and shave ice, face painting and musicians singing from the soul.  These are the events that make it all work. 


The largest initial challenge for me was to accept the role as leader amongst all the community to whom I've grown so connected to.  I have felt for so long that I want to see what everyone else wants and contribute my piece to the pie!  While I do agree this still stands true, my piece is grand, and it is due time now that I stand, in the face of all fears of any judgments  and put these visions into action.   

The vision which still stands strong is to create a local hub of resources, education and economic development based on the practices of sustainability and community economic investment.  One of the key elements we are addressing, is the perpetuation of the local indigenous cultures.  I have seen the large scale developers and mainland businesses come to this island with a focus on attaining the maximum profit potential of the island and her visitors.  What we are creating here is a community based grass-roots movement that provides the island residents with a foundation of opportunity, as well as access to the resources to build community upon.  We are creating a platform that will offer the local residents avenues of distribution of their crafts, services and produce, character and brings finacial benefit in return.  In addition to this feature we are also creating a rich cultural environment in which tourists can visit to experience the true community of Hawaii.  In comes the Green Source Center.  This building will serve as a demonstration model and staging area highlighting the need for a larger scale presence across the street in the originally sought after building.  One of the exciting aspects is the exploration of creating youth-managed ventures.  It is time to empower our children so that they may stand.

The Green Source Center is offering:

Main council area for small workshops, yoga classes, movie nights, open mic, talk story night, teen night, intimate concerts etc. and will be available hourly/daily by reservation at minimal cost.

Sacred Space - a healing arts room available to community members to offer their services locally

Library -  A multi disciplinary resource center with information ranging from conscious capitalism, hawai'ian root culture,  sustainable building practices, permaculture and spirituality. 

Local Kine Crafts- small area dedicated as an avenue to local crafters to distribute their creations.

Community art wall - a small community art space with revolving shows

Juice and Tea time - walk up window, with outdoor tables to bring the local kine produce to the pallete.

Peoples Market - Sunday outdoor market hosting farmers, musicians, crafters and sustainable technology vendors.  The outdoor parking lot is home to a stage for entertainment for special events at other times as well.

Recycle Collection area - Mauka collection site with proceeds to benefit Green Source and local community organizations. 
 
The vision of Green Source, Lokahi Village and Sacred Designs is to implement sustainable methods into the infrastructure of our growing communities here on the island and within our Global Community.  It is a time where it is crucial for us as a society to step up and act responsibly for the benefit of own revival as well as the future generations to come.  It is our vision to provide a sustainable model to experience, learn and then take the tools back to your home and implement the knowledge within your own lifestyles.  The Green Source Center will also serve as a central Preparedness Center in case of natural disaster, offering information, meeting space, shelter etc.

Among the budding markets of today, emerges the LOHAS(lifestyles of health and sustainability) market, claimed by many forecast analysts to be the biggest boom in economic history, bringing in a whopping $240 billion in 2005.  This clearly demonstrates the renewed interest that we as humans are taking in the healing of our selves our communities and our earth.  In Hawai'i we will lead the movement in ALOHAS (abundant lifestyles of health and sustainability).  The goal of Green Source is to bring this abundance into the homes and families that have been underserved  to unite the low-income with the high-income with the no-income. 

The next most challenging aspect, has been the development of a business structure that recognizes the social return as well as the financial profit.  We are working closely with a format that closely resembles the structure of visionary John Mackey of Whole Foods.  He demonstrates how the inspiration of business is focused on community impact as well as profitability.  Donating 15% of all profits directly back into the community through non profit organizations, employees and community development.

We are creating a core equity partnership exploring all forms of energetic contributions, as well as core members from the community in areas of agriculture, education, health and wellness, music and arts, economic development and cultural wisdom to form a council in which we will base our foundation.   
 
As we create this catalyst  together we will discuss amongst ourselves the benefit of "local industry" and begin generating entrepreneurial economic development within our small communities.  We have farms, crafters, artists, musicians, plenty talk story, and the wisdom of the elders, now it is time to focus on our youth, sustainable industry, local culture and creating all of the resources we need to live in abundance here on the island as community.


Everyone is welcome!  It is time we stand for humanity and our earth.  Love thy neighbor is no longer a simple piece of advice, it is required.
It takes the children to raise the village.  Let's get them involved.

percent.

The cause of these shocking developments, according to the Human

international activism, spearheaded by the United Nations.

* The violent crime rate has decreased 50 percent since 1993. Crime is

purifying itself of the pollutants that human beings dumped into it.

* If forced to decide between having a bigger penis and living in a world
where there was no war, 90 percent of all men would pick universal
peace.

* The number of America's black elected officials has sextupled since
1970.

* Rising rates of intermarriage are helping to dissipate ethnic and religious
strife worldwide.

* The rivers and bays of New York City are reborn, having been cleansed
of raw sewage and industrial pollution in recent years.

on Earth is any farther removed than your 50th cousin.

* The world's largest private bank, Citigroup, has agreed to stop financing
projects that damage sensitive ecosystems.

* The giant timber company, Congolaise Industrielle des Bois, voluntarily
agreed to stop cutting down trees in a virgin rain forest in the Congo.

* The miracle of your breathing transpires about 10 million times a year,
even though you never have to think about it.

* Every second the sun generously transforms four million tons of itself
into energy and bestows it on us free of charge.

* Diamonds rain from the sky on Uranus and Neptune.

* With every dawn, when first light penetrates the sea, many seahorse
colonies perform a dance to the sun.

* The World Health Organization reports that over 100 million acts of
sexual intercourse, involving more than 200 million partners, take place
on the earth every 24 hours.

* Most HMO executives now believe prayer and meditation can expedite
the healing process.

* Vast supplies of frozen natural gas lie beneath the oceans, harboring
more potential energy than all the world's oil reserves, and could be
mined with the right technology.

* Each of the 50 trillion cells in your body can be considered a sentient
being in its own right, and they all act together as a community,
performing an ongoing act of prodigious collaboration.

ACT NOW! The FDA and your healing rights

Posted on Apr 18th, 2007 by sacred : Breathing With You sacred
Marketlohas
From: Chris Rosche <ChrisRosch@aol.com>

The United States Food and Drug Administration is attempting to take away your right to use Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) by making these practices illegal. The FDA is attempting to declare CAM “Medicine” and “Treatment” not “Modalities” and “Therapy,” therefore making them illegal since only licensed practitioners can treat. This would effectively outlaw vitamins, herbs, minerals, co-factors, etc., since they would automatically become untested drugs used to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure disease states.

We need to inform everyone we meet, including our health practitioners, colleagues, neighbors, friends, and family to let them know of this assault on our health care choices and our personal freedom. Comments will be accepted only until April 30th. After that time it will be too late. Your IMMEDIATE help is crucial !
