In this Episode with Opare Agyeman, we talk music, creativity, philosophy and the power of storytelling.Opare Agyeman & I talk on what principles are necessary to live as a Creative Ronin (??, a drifting or wandering Samurai without lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. ) Both of us have been living this lifestyle and we touch on how to live by the code of creative authenticity as a nomadic content creator. The question about how to learn and grow from our own stories and find a process of sharing these ideas with the world? Which leads us to talk about Nomadic Movements. Which started from moving around a lot to of different creative zones, with different artists, to becoming a media & art hub for creativity and networking. It’s something that naturally resonates with who and where you are, then this is a platform for that. We talk about the desire to take your creative pursuits into the realm of healing and curiosity… How all religions have done this through parables, tales, stories for the same purpose to make something as abstract as omniscience, omnipotence, and self empowerment. How do we get people see this in themselves? Learning though stories allows us to go deeper into it and guide us through this process of human evolution.  Sorry for the recording background noise. Opare was walking through the streets of New York, and I was on a fairly poor headset walking through the woods. I wanted to try an episode where we could walk and gather our thoughts on the move, and I won’t be doing this again unless we both are in a more quiet place. Quotes: "Nomadic Movements is not something you have to think about, it’s an organic process that feels correct. It’s not something you need to be convinced that it’s right for you. The Nomadic movements purpose is by telling a cohesive, entertaining, multifaceted storyline through as many different platforms, with as many different artists as possible.” – OA"The language of your own energy is your art. Make art formations about what you want to experience so that when you witness that art, you feel it.”"To make art is to interview your own shadow.” – OA"The power of a good teacher is to unveil that which is already there. It’s not always easy.” – PJM 

As we flash back through my childhood, healing journey, art career and ethics, spiritual catharsis, and re-discovering Yoga, we look at insights around creativity, EQ, the evolution of human information access, utility, and being of service in something greater as well as privilege, and conscious relationships, My good friend, and fellow cosmonaut, writer, and martial artist Ben Cooley and I talk about fundamentals of Jyotish (the science of light), the 3 modes of dealing with the universe: Tarot, I-Ching and Astrology, being an empath (and all the struggles of that), dealing with high school authority, and issues with authority, detachment from self (and identification with any I-personality), spiritual bypassing? not being seen, superiority, the rate at which human knowledge is doubling and our inner states. From the 60s to the 80s that’s a big cultural shift, imagine every 12 hours to make on. Information being in service to something else, we’re not serving the information, we’re in service to something else and the question is what? Age vs youth: Youth has the capacity to grow, heal, learn and develop in every way faster and with more vigorously, intensity, but wisdom and failure, and paradigm shifts, concepts being broken down has strategy and long-term vision otherwise all that energy gets used up. Quotes:“There is no such thing as superiority, only access” – Sophia Bush, A Work in Progress. "Purposes are for screwdrivers, they’re not for people.”  – Ben Cooley"What a country is is people, what a country is is peope. If it's not serving people than what the hell is it? – Ben Cooley “If you realize happiness now, what’s going to be your use in society?” – Ben Cooley"Your growth to let them go, is for yourself to figure out what you think you need from them so you can experience the love you think you don’t have.” – Paul J.

In 2016 Chris Grace & Haley Spitzfaden hosted a Valentines day Quest that included a campus-wide scavenger hunt, and ended in a Valentines day party celebrating magic, love and had plenty of spectial effects. Needless to say it was a smashing success. What began as a passion project between two friends at their university evolved into an immersion luxury event company that brings magic to the world. They  started with humble quests with 1, then 9, then 35, then 75, and now host fully immersive, joyous game experiences for hundreds of people. They have already brought hearts and imaginations together, and now they look forward to working with conscious value-driven corportations.Lila (Sanskrit word for Play) Quests utilize Joseph Cambells Hero's Journey structure, but takes a unique approach to taking people on a transformational quest of self-empowerment, wonder and magic. Lila Quest is one part science disguised as magic, one part fantasy disguised as reality, and one part puzzles. I was riveted to learn about Chris & Haley's challenges, struggles, existential questions and how creativity has changed their lives. They are an amazingly radical team on the edge of immersive adventures. I can't wait to see the evolution of Lila Quest!Quotes: "We believe that magic is inheirant in the world around, and people only need a reminder. So we create fantasy adventures in real life that intertwine with real history that feature science disguised as magic, and engaging puzzle hunts, and bring this together as luxury experienes for people." – Lila Quest"We believe that magic is inheirant in the world and that people need a reminder." – Lila Quest"If it doesn't equal parts excite and scare you, then is it even worth it?" – Chris GraceFor more information: https://www.lilaquests.com/ Chris & Haley were honored for Entrepreneurial Leadership Mayor Malloy of Fairfield Iowa, president John Hagelin of MUM University, father of eSports Walter Day. Lila For me (which is the Sanskrit word for "Play") represents my personal journey back to joy and being able to play as an adult.

From there her life unfolded in all manner of unpredictable ways, and is now taking a yearly Yoga retreat (to Bali,) as well as becoming a Lomi Lomi massage practitioner, and pet photographer."When everything in our environment tells us to slow down, recognize that if I don’t listen to what my body, mind and spirit needs, then I'm no use to anyone else, and can’t be the best version of myself at any given moment.” – Christine JuddHer book, Clarity (Amazon Link) is a wonderful, practical approach to creating a business as a holistic practitioner. was a stepping stone to get out of the way, and now she’s focusing far more on the healing and photography aspects. Her Podcast, Living Through the Hard Stuff, is a raw, radical exploration around depression, and the tools and techniques she uses to deal with the darker sides of life. Check out more of Christine at:Website: https://christinejudd.com/Podcast: Living Through the Hard StuffInstagram: ChristinejuddphotographyInstagram: 365 GratitudeShe started 365 Gratitude: An experiment to explore gratitude and healing by finding the beauty in the small things. Originally a way to shine light on the difficulties as a way to reflect and find that grain of goodness in tough times.
