We are committed to cultivating wholeness on the planet one breath and one movement at a time.  We believe that your body is your most sacred space, and feel that tending yourself is an essential part of any sacred work.  Your personal well-ness is intimately connected to the wellness of the entire planet.  Healing the planet begins with healing yourself.  Thus, we must tend to ourselves to best tend to the world.

* PROJECT Empassionment *

Inspiring Passionate Action on the Planet One Activation at a Time

The Vision:   It began as a personal commitment to myself. It was during a powerful workshop on transformational leadership that I uncovered how I could best serve the world.  I had been struggling to synthesize what I saw as two divergent life goals: a path towards enlightenment and a path towards empowerment.  In reconciling my two paths, I realized my multiple roles as holistic wellness facilitator (healer), social transformer (activist), community builder (connector) and spiritual inquirer (practitioner) were united in a common mission- facilitating the embodiment of my wisdom and my beliefs in passionate global action.  In that moment, I committed myself to passionate service- to accessing and living from my passion in service to my self, my community and the world.  And then I envisioned a world where everyone was accessing, living and serving from their passion. Project Empassionment arose from my belief in the possibility of such a world and is my offering in support of the global shift arising across the planet.  My name is Tiffany Foo and I am an alchemist working towards transmuting personal and collective passion into empassioned action in the world.  I want to live in a world where our greatest envisioning of both empowerment and enlightenment are synthesized in passionate action toward transformation that is in highest service to oneself, one’s community and the planet.  Won’ t you join me?

9-9-9: Negotiating the Portal

By Deborah

September 9, a powerful portal opens, allowing us to shift to a higher resonance within the new frequencies it offers. These frequencies are here to fill the space cleared by this summer’s cosmic cleansing.

The Earth’s Crystal Vortexes

The energies of this portal contain codes and keys that activate all crystalline structures on the planet. In fact, this cosmic shift represents one of the most powerful activations of crystalline energy ever to occur on planet Earth.

Those located near the Earth’s crystal centers will experience the most potent activations. These include the crystal vortexes of Arkansas, Shasta, and Brazil. The crystal vortex of Arkansas will trigger the awakening of many new grid keepers and lightworkers and signal migrations to vortex points of Eureka Springs, Hot Springs and Mount Magazine.

Sacred Service

This is an invitation *

“There is a river flowing now very fast.  It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.  They will try to hold on to the shore.  They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.  Know the river has a destination.  The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.

And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.  At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.  Least of all, ourselves.  For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over.  Gather yourselves!

Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.  All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

Message from the Elders of the Hopi Nation (January 12, 2003)

I Begin Where I am Standing

I have finally arrived here. Borrowing the words of Alfred D’Souza, “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin, real life.  But there was always something in the way; something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business to attend to, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.  At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”

“A human being is part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space.  He experiences himself, his thoughts and his feelings as something separated from the rest- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.  This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.  Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole [of] nature in its beauty.”

~ Albert Einstein, 1954

How do we go about resolving Einstein’s dilemma and widen our compassionate embrace?  Why is a focus on expanding consciousness important for effective social change?  How can we integrate the new understandings we discover in order to create a healthier and more sustainable society?  The luminous poet-activist, Audre Lorde says, “The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.”   I am intrigued by the way a practice, activism, is not only informed, refined and changed by but also informs, refines and changes the very world upon which it acts.   Such inquiries provide the context for this paper’s exploration of the relationship between the processes of personal empowerment, collective/social transformation and systemic change.

Thank you for bearing with me as I clarify my vision.  This site is still under creation.  Please continue to visit me here and keep abreast of my vision in its continual act of unfoldment.  Lovenlight, Tiffany
