Starving Artist Goes to VisonForce Boot Camp!

Esse said Nov 10, 11:01 PM:

...I'm an experienced, motivated, gifted singer/songwriter, dancer and writer. I'm writing tons of music, getting clear on what I stand for, I can sing and dance all over a stage and get a crowd hoppin. I'm even co-writing on a project for an animation and the message inherent in all of my work is of self-empowerment, community, and a movement for a better world. In addition to all of that, I've been working on my craft for over ten years. For over a year I toured Tokyo as a soloist, just for fun; played in New York since I was a teeny bopper; been writing and recording since I was 14. Now I've decided to get serious about my career and about the stand I wish to take as a role model in pop culture.

The only problem is, I'm addicted to being poor!

Thanks to a new friend and teacher I've become painfully aware of a sense of guilt that I feel in standing for my own financial well being, as a musician . Thus, I've always relied on other work as a source of income and just been too ashamed to pursue music as a career. Thus, I've always been a starving artist.

I'm going to a powerful training on November 28th, 2007. The name of the organization is VisionForce. It's a five day bootcamp and the teacher, Michael Skye, is already kicking my butt!! In a few short weeks he's got me fully aware of the strongest impediment to my success (me!). I fully believe that I'll emerge from this training as a true visionary that lives to inspire you, and still stands for being a paid artist. As a paid artist, I can do a much better job of inspiring you and writing great music and getting the word out on the many causes that I want to spearhead.

The program costs $1,295.00, plus airfare to Austin, TX. I have NO IDEA how I'm going to get there except perhaps by the kindness and belief of you. This is the first time I'm ever openly asking for help, so forgive me if I'm clumsy. Michael believes so completely in me that he's already involved me in the training. This stuff is scary but exciting!

But guess what? I've already received my first contribution in the amount of $650!! Thank you Emced, of 20/20 Multi-Media!! So now I'm already down to $650.00 plus airfare. If you have any ideas of how I can raise the rest of the tuition I'd love to hear from you. If you'd like to make a contribution, THANK YOU!!! The best way is to use the chip in tool I've included here.

I also invite you to check out some of my music, see some pics, read a bio and more at www.myspace.com/essedesse. My music is free for the listening. Even if you're unable to contribute, come say hi!

In Honor of Those About to Stand

In Honor of Those Who Will Stand Next Week

Next Wednesday a few dozen individuals from around the world are gathering here in Austin, Texas to take a stand for their lives, for our lives and for life itself. They are those who are willing to claim the title of visionary, simply be being a conscious being with a choice to see and create a better world in the face of great adversity. They are those who are willing to look within, face what there is to face, find something worth standing for and come together to create a world that works for everyone.

We are at the dawn of a new era, in which human beings own our full power to create. It begins by stepping into a sacred relationship with self, others and all that is.

The work we do at the VisionForce Boot Camp is quite simple, yet very profound, and it has great implications for the world we live in.

The next domain of technology that will transform the world we live in is the inner domain of human relationship–relationship to self, others, the planet, the universe, the divine, etc. For nearly five decades we’ve been flying into outer space and landing upon the moon, but we seem to find it more challenging to traverse the inner space required in landing within the sacred realm of another’s heart, let alone our own. This is the next frontier. It’s an invitation to all those who dare to explore and pioneer new paths for connecting with others, even and especially those seemingly opposed to us, and creating together.

Already, there is a growing movement around the world, as noted by Paul Hawken in his book, Blessed Unrest, of organizations that are rising up to cross divides, stand together and create a better world.

One such organization is the Pachamama Alliance, which we are honoring at our March Boot Camp, in calling out specifically for 44 inspired leaders who are willing to stand with us to “bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on the planet.”

Today, I honor those who are journeying here next week to “face everything, avoid nothing and stand for humanity.”
