Well i have two. But related. I want to eventually create a course and center called- The Center of Creative Abandon. This program would be the culmination of many interests and modalities. But the primary focus being to assist individuals in breaking down the compartments that most of us exhist within. So through ceative expression one would learn to use life as a creative process of self inquiry and integrate ALL aspects of their lifes work and desire. Not somuch art therapy for treatment- but more a self directed dicipline that is incredibly individual. rooted in visual arts, dance, transpersonal psychology, global spiritual practices and thriving off of personal preferences.

The second is to create an international dance partnership program. (But wouldn't be limited to dance i would hope others to join) The idea is that i would recruit U.S participants for dance workshops outside the U.S. Places like Belize, Thailand, Bali, etc. The tuition that each U.S participant pays would always include a percentage that goes towards scholarships for women in their native country to attend. At first just participation- then as it grows the scholarships would include retreat lodging, meals, childcare, translator services etc. (Though the beauty of dance trancends the language berrier) This idea i think is an incredible asset to the women of both nationalities. The women who receive scholarships can experience a much needed opportunity for self exploration that is rare in the traditional settings. It alo provides both parties to grow from experiencing one anothers culture. Especially for American women to be able to get in touch with the local sisters and their lives while giving support at the same time. For both to appreciate the different rythms and pulse within different lands. I think the program could be a real success and that the partnership scholarships would be an incredibel asset to all U.S particpants. So many trainings to do, much work to accomplish, many people to meet in order to make these goals manifest...
Cheers to keeping the faith!

Poor brown kiddies need help, yes. Aside from the problems you mentioned, we forget that western idea of school leaves out traditional knowledge, so i think thats an important thing to keep in mind. Our schools dont teach our kids practical survival skills and interpersonal relations which are needed in todays world...
