Dear free thought family, friends, & revolutionaries, We share and wish blessed energy to you!
Free Thought Revolution ended with some personal stories and a theatre production before the weight of not prioritizing our mental health became too much. This coincided with our becoming housing insecure (unhomed and climbing out), as well as a number of losses within our family. We have devoted the past year -n- ½ to getting fundamentally healthy; body mind & spirit. In the process of that we discussed ways we could improve our vision, and the means we would best utilize to truly affect the communities and people most in need. We went from a broken dream in Creative Sols Ark, to the fantasy of Mamma’s Sanctuary, a community based on the principles of humanity. A collective safe space that would allow us, all of us, to breathe revitalize recharge reconnect... remember who we are!
Mamma's Sanctuary, a wild fantasy by all accounts considering the world's climate -full duality encompassed- even more far fetched coming from an on-pause-for-health-reasons-non-profit, and housing insecure directors. Who are we kidding?; we have clearly lost all grasp on reality and are in full fledged crazy! Yes, yes, and yes! But faith will always lead you correctly, and You - dear family, friends, and revolutionaries - we would like to announce… a small concrete step towards creating Mamma’s Sanctuary and Free Thought Revolution returning with a brand new song.
Thank you immeasurably to the San Diego County Office of Equity & Racial Justice for granting $100,000 dollars through the Equity Impact Grant to aid Free Thought Revolution in our continued mission creating bridges of humanity to grow community through conscious empathetic conversation and humanity inspired activism to strengthen all of those in our community; especially and most significantly the overlooked, unheard, & underserved. We are highly humbled to be one of ten grassroots, minority-owned nonprofits in San Diego that were chosen to be a part of a mentored cohort. The appreciation is real, watch us wiggle something wondrous.
Thank you, and bless
