Synergy

Some times in life you are blessed to meet someone with whom you just click! Instantly the energy of the connection moves you a little closer to greatness. Today I had the fortune of meeting two such people and we formed an instant kinship!

Rich Brimer (on the Left) introduced the Reckoning Core team to Café On A (http://cafeona.org). Armando Vazquez and Debbie De Vries (left to right in picture) take commitment and creativity to the next level. They are the co-founders and overseers of an innovative community centre. Café On A is a hub for activism, empowerment and generosity towards the marginalised and at-risk community in Oxnard.

I have a deep respect for their work, as they create art interventions that address trying issues like incest and racial profiling. They offer workshops to help people voice their experiences and channel their energies towards positive solutions, rather than destructive behaviours or crime.

Well, once we were all in the same room the ideas started to flow on the basis of our mutual understanding that art transforms perspectives and can be a great tool for personal and community transformation. Who knows in the near future there might be wonderful collaboration.

Thanks Rich for the connection!
