PURPOSE
We are here to Create.
You have found yourself in a powerful group of individuals aligned with a similar Intention.
Make & Hold Space, Spread Love & Awareness, Provide Truth & Guidance.
Our community Needs us. It will take all of our gifts together as one to be able to provide any form of positive change. I am calling ALL Creative Warriors to hear this Purpose!
Communication must be clear, Ego’s kept in line, Respect is the tone, and Love is where we come from.
Cultivating a Tribe & Evolving the Culture.
DUTY
It starts with Music.
We are at war with mental slavery and Music is our most powerful weapon against this system.
The people will gather, the rhythm will free us from distractions, the music will open our hearts, and the message will guide us.
Our Ceremonies will be lead by the Musicians and provide space for Creative Expression. There is no greater Honor than to be holding it down during a ceremony.
Approach each ceremony with a Clave Mentality. Making & Holding Space, allowing others to be heard and knowing that we will be heard and appreciated. It is a simple practice that takes a lot of discipline & consistency.
