EMOTIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS

MULTI-TALENTED ARTIST JEFFREY FISHER EMBARKS ON TOUR TO BRING LIVE MUSICAL SHOW AND INNOVATIVE WORKSHOPS TO U.S. CITIES IN 2008.

Jeffrey Fisher’s award-winning classical music and accomplished storytelling are combined in his new performance series touring the United States, beginning in the Southern and Southwestern states.  He will also be making media appearances and teaching T’ai Chi Chuan workshops while in each location.

On rare leave from Satyagraha -- his off-the-grid ranch in the San Jacinto Mounatins -- Jeffrey Fisher takes to the road to present his recent award-winning works Fairy Tales and Triumph of the Spirit, and to give fans a sneak-peak at pieces from his forthcoming album. He will also be making media appearances and facilitating workshops based on his many years teaching T’ai Chi Chuan.

In his musical performances – and in some workshops -- Fisher introduces new music as well as innovative storytelling concepts for parents and children related to his i-Parenting and Parent-to-Parent Award-winning CD, Fairy Tales, inspired by three beloved stories by Hans Christian Andersen.  An interactive audience approach is offered in his family workshops, incorporating relaxation and meditation/movement techniques for both parents and children.

A T’ai Chi adept and author, Fisher also offers a more advanced T’ai Chi Chuan workshop for adults during this tour; he is the author of the book T’ai Chi Basics, as well as a book on Chinese philosophy and five volumes of poetry.

“T’ai Chi is the basis for my own philosophy and my life—I feel as if I am doing T’ai Chi all the time.  We are so lucky to live in an age of so many progressive ideas; it seems like we’re close to a realization that social, political and spiritual consciousness is the same thing. T’ai Chi helps us slow down, focus, and actually live those ideas; music is a language and a state of being that brings us closer to reality, closer to our true selves.  These are tools we can use to change our world.”

In 2007, Fisher won two important awards for Fairy Tales, including the iParenting Media Award in which they described the album as “melodic and descriptive, and useful for parents as background for creative storytelling as well as for classical dance.” The album orchestrates three of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic children’s storybook fantasies – “Inchellina” (sometimes known as “Thumbellina,” the tiny adventuresome girl searching for someone her size), “Red Shoes” (the story of a selfish dancer taught an important life lesson) and “The Mermaid” (she falls in love with a human prince, but must make difficult decisions).  After composing and recording the music of Fairy Tales, it served as the performance soundtrack for the ballet “Hans Christian Andersen” which premiered in October 2006 at the Annenberg Theater in Palm Springs. more

PEACE ONE DAY

2006 brings new opportunities to inform and engage people around the world in observing and celebrating Peace Day 21 September. Together we can meet the goal of pledged commitments in every country for the first time in the Peace Day’s history. This dynamic and exciting possibility is within our reach, but we need your help.

We have posted on our site as a starting point a list of the 192 member states of the United Nations. You can see in which countries activities are taking place on the Day and those in which there are none. Can you help? Do you know any individuals, any faiths, any NGOs, any groups in these or any other countries? Please contact them, and invite them to be a part of the global celebration of Peace Day. Ask them to make a commitment and send it in to web@peaceoneday.org
