Reknowned mystic artist, Alex Grey, has established the respendent Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM) - a sanctuary in New York City for contemplation and a center for events encouraging the creative spirit. CoSM gloriously exhibits 50 of Grey’s most outstanding works of mystical art, including the Sacred Mirrors. This unique series of 21 life-sized paintings portray the universal human, revealing the interplay of anatomical and spiritual forces in such activities as praying, meditating, kissing and dying -all occurring within grids of fire, fractals of eyes and the galactic swirlings of infinity.

Outspoken supporter for peace and justice, Michael Franti is the creator and driving force behind fusion-band Michael Franti & Spearhead. Largely ignored by the traditional mainstream TV and radio channels, Franti and Spearhead have gained a passionate worldwide audience by the sheer humanity and vitality of their message - being essentially how to “hold on to our spirituality, our community and our connectedness to each other” amidst “all the chaos and fear”. His movie : “I Know I’m Not Alone” explores the human cost of war as he shares his experiences from his 2006 trip to Israel, Baghdad, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Franti produces the annual Power to the Peaceful festival which has drawn more than 20,000 people to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco over the past seven years. In an anti-poverty protest begun in 2000, Franti decided to forgo his own shoes, initially for three days, and never went back… barefoot ever since… Follow the Franti links supplied at wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Franti

Lauryn Noel Hill, singer in the “neo-soul genre”, rapper, musician, record producer and film actress, is a noted humanitarian: in 1996 she received an Essence Award for work which has included the 1996 founding of a Refugee Project and for supporting well-building projects in Kenya and Uganda, as well as for staging a rap concert in Harlem to promote voter registration. Speaking of her early career and in an indictment of the music industry, Hill said: “There was much more strength, spirit and passion, desire, curiosity, ambition and opinion that was not allowed in a small space designed for consumer mass appeal and dictated by very limited standards. I had to step away when I realized that for the sake of the machine, I was being way too compromised…” Lauren Hill - “female and strong…young and wise… Black and divine”.

India Arie is an artist who addresses the real issues of ‘being human’ - with honesty, depth, insight, warmth, luscious ease and vulnerability… www.indiaarie.com/ A taste of her LYRICS: Slow Down So far from where I started out. So far from where I wanna be… Sometimes you gotta be still, before you can get ahead. God Is Real In Saint Lucia, I jumped in the water. For the first time I understood its power. As I swam, I was cleansed… Now I know for sure that God is real. I Am Not My Hair I am not this skin I am not your expectations no no… I am a soul that lives within Strength, Courage & Wisdom …now that I’ve opened up my heart I know that Anything I want CAN BE, so let it be, so let it be… Strength, courage, and wisdom It’s been inside of me all along… www.elyrics.net/song/i/india.Arie-lyrics.html
