So much happens in so little time…

Buddha in coffee-shop - Amsterdam I really need to get into the habit of updating this page more often as too much happens too quickly… The last months have been turbulent again. Was in Europe for a quick business/pleasure trip, working in London on another film finance/IT project, which was the primary reason for my trip. Then hopped over the channel to Amsterdam to visit my delightful cousin (the same one I visited in India), who is currently working there for Greenpeace. Went to a Greenpeace office party on a houseboat and had a most interesting and disturbing conversation with their ocean delegate. Really a sad situation further spoiling my love for fish. It appears that over 90% of the bigger predator fish (e.g. Tuna) are completely gone, so are 75% of all the other fish, and deep sea fishing has already destroyed twice the size of the continental US underneath the sea… Makes it even more urgent that people transform their understanding of the world.
From Amsterdam, I went on to Germany for a quick visit with my family and some of my amazing friends there. Always a wonderful recharge. Took my dad back with me to LA and had a great time with him here. Quite a luxury to get to spend a few days with him mano a mano. Usually, when I am visiting, I only get brief moments here and there, so it was great to actually have time to talk with him. He is an amazing man and I am grateful for our relationship.
Without a break, another lovely friend of mine from Germany visited me right after my dad, and I am just now slowly catching up with my world again. In between all this, we had three great events with the Center for Conscious Creativity under the banner of “The Transformational Power of Sound&Vision.”
And while all this was going on… I decided to move from my beloved Los Feliz neighborhood, and am currently preparing to move to the Brewery, an artist complex just east of downtown Los Angeles. Indeed a former brewery (Pabst Blue Ribbon, yum), the place today houses over 300 artist studios. Am utterly thrilled to be moving there as I love the energy of creativity that is buzzing around the concrete walls down there. Look forward to the effect this will have on my own art, and cannot wait to throw parties and seminars there… Am planning a thesis seminar toward the end of July after returning from my trip to Peru to partake in a conference on Shamanism, which should be quite interesting…
So… yeah… it never stops… could go on, but need to get working on some of my other projects
