Introducing VOICES - A Collective Chronicle
The world is experiencing a profound shift in consciousness. This awakening isn't just about personal transformation; it's about a collective evolution towards greater compassion, understanding, and unity. The most time-tested method for bringing about these things is communication.
Are you a writer, a philosopher, an earth-changer with something monumental to express to your fellow humans? VOICES is a project created with the intent to inspire cultivated expression regarding important issues. Each month, we present a new topic—one that challenges, inspires, and ignites conversation. We then invite you to submit your responses in the form of a blog, song, art piece, poem, or any other medium that can translate digitally. We will compile these creative responses and glean highlights that we feel will be productive in the quest for harmonic discourse, sharing (with permission) impactful statements or images to convey the artistry of the submissions.
This is an organic, evolving project. As we grow, we will engage input and participation from the greater community. Until that point a small, dedicated, educated group of monitors will review submissions and nurture the delicate potential of this collaborative treasure-trove of content to support The Awakening. Please consider sharing your concepts to aid in the birthing of this exciting community co-creation.
Submit your contribution below, being sure to give us information that can connect us to your existing online presence. We are seeking to connect with activated individuals, to connect our networks independently from dominant social media platforms.
Let’s co-create the content that we know will grow the future we wish to see!
-
Do you believe the last 4 years have fundamentally altered our social interactions and connections, and if so, in what ways? How do you think the shift towards virtual communication is affecting community organizing?
-
How does the loss of influential activists through violence affect the momentum and morale of social justice movements and in what ways do these tragic losses highlight systemic issues within society?
-
Share an experience in your journey that profoundly moved or transformed you emotionally? What impact did it have on your work and perspective? What has been one of the most challenging emotional hurdles you've faced while advocating for your cause, and how did you overcome it?
VOICES is an online community endeavor where creativity meets purpose. We are seeking to share content as we craft a collective experience, inviting you to contribute your unique voice to a grand symphony of perspective. VOICES is a Movement designed to inspire cultivated expression around the issues that matter most.
Your submissions are more than contributions; they're crucial notes in a larger melody, resonating with the VOICES of others who share your passion. The most impactful submissions will be published on our platforms and also featured in Newsletters as well as (when applicable) in-person at StarWater Wednesday events, held in Denver, CO.
We seek to recognize and elevate phenomenal work, ensuring that the echoes of your creativity reverberate Beyond the Screen.
We hope you will consider joining us on this journey.
Submit your Art, your Poetry, your Music—your Voice—to VOICES.
Be a part of this movement that’s shaping the conversation around these important issues of our time.
Together, we’re not just creating content;
We’re crafting a symphony of change.
The Collective is YOU!
As we come into focus with our personal mission, the obvious next step involves witnessing and receiving those around you. We grow when we learn to work together and test theories of existence upon the Masterpieces of our Brothers and Sisters. We are the creative force, combined to change the old paradigm. Collective Productivity is truly hinged on your willingness to show up. I find that life teaches me these things very starkly - there's no way I could escape the inevitable lesson of every moment. Over the last year I have been faced with many challenges and have found myself regularly back at the same wishing well. Turns out, we are the mycelium that is composting the waste into fuel. It is our interaction at its core that is healing the wound. Can you feel it? The way we are made anew as we churn thru perceptions learning to own what is ours? On a collective level, I am inspired regularly - and beyond belief! Fighting with Facebook is futile, yet somehow I believe we have other options. So I am going to take advantage of this platform, and I hope you will too! We will begin publishing thought-provoking and heart-felt expressions, once a week - with preference to those who choose to show up to StarWater Wednesdays and share their piece aloud! We encourage you to focus your intrigue and your message, as if to convey the most potent morsel to the least suspecting person. In so many ways we can stoke this fire - bring voice to the spaces beyond keystroke and straight into the heart! I am less and less interested in the Facebook Template, digging deep into the creative possibilities seeking ways to promote beyond The Feed. So on that note I seek your participation, let's see who's listening, remembering - let's start the world's coolest thread! In Gratitude - ZOË CLARE, 1-9-2017
