Soul Graffiti Presents - Off The Grid Booking Calendar

Band Submissions for Off The Grid

I woke up inspired by the day once again. I found myself instantly transported to the east bay for a dance party from 10:30 to 1 pm in the morning. I found myself surrounded by friends; many faces I recognized from meetings in this life, and some possibly from others. On the way there I was sitting finishing my book finally, “The Tenth Insight”, and low and behold my buddy Nicco Tyson once again finds me randomly. We were heading to the same place, on the wrong train, late. After both transferring, we found the spot for ecstatic dance on 420 14^th street (why does it always come back to this number?). I was introduced to the most open movement dance I have ever experienced in my life to date. It took me a quick moment to warm up to the vibration level of everyone else. I was able to sink deep enough into the energy to flow and float in my own way in the pool of ecstatic dancing that was taking place. Thank you for the gift of the day my friend! Blessings appreciated.

Now I sit tired like I just ran 10 miles. I’ll have to get used to this.

What can we do for ourselves today.

Health comes from the internal body and it's connection to what is around us. Our mind, body, and spirit, are all integrative parts to the concept. I work in music. I mostly would say this is a mind and spirit practice, however, sometimes if you get dancing and moving it can also incorporate your body. My life has been opening to so many new findings that are actually ancient ways of sustaining health of all three of yourselves. Ayurveda medicine, yoga, food consciousness, and music, have been picking me up to a level of being that gives me a hope that as my body changes and shifts heading into my thirties, I can not only sustain my health, but uplift my health entirely.

Qi Gong, Thai Chi, or even a more intense physical work of capoeira, are incredible ways to balance the shakras and energy of your body. Even running intentionally can help. Meditation and breathing practices is another. I use a didgeridoo to focus my breathe and concentration. With this said, I believe this is the most beneficial practice of music. The personal enjoyment and self-fulfilling that can come from a technique practiced to refinement acts as meditation does. And then when you are along this journey of selfishness, you are honing a skill to share and give to others; the balance of selfishness and selflessness.

As a listener to music, vibration and intent can sometimes take people into the same realm that the musician feels, sometimes as deep as in the first creation or idea that moved the musician to play the notes and tones; cradled duende is a term I use for such an event.

Here at Conrad Beach in San Francisco I have been gifted with an amazing community of musicians, healers, and activists. I have learned how to cook, clean, and take care of things that most in our culture take for granted. Many of my findings have been in the kitchen making new concoctions of blended smoothies, soups, and new ingredients; new for me anyways. My friend Mary Beauchamp as done some great work and posted some similar findings to her blogspot. Check it out here if you want to treat yourself to some good health in your own kitchen .

That is all for now. But I look forward to sharing stories and ideas of creating a strong and vibrant community throughout San Francisco and beyond. Please share your ideas and concepts here by leaving a comment. I hope to make a forum in the near future in regards to bike routes, underground music parties, and the sorts. Blessings from Conrad, Justin

SOUL GRAFFITI . INFO START.

Soul Graffiti: The Conscious act of kindness to another soul, resulting in leaving an everlasting imprint on anothers life.

Welcome to Soul Graffiti Entertainment (LLC): Soul Graffiti Entertainment hosts events such as festivals, parties, and raves. “What you get is a mix of Live Bands, Dj’s, state of the art visuals, and art that collide together to make the best entertainment package on the west coast.” (co-founder of soulgraffiti.info) “We are all healers and have the capability of being each others support. In order to establish this, a group of individuals must make a conscious effort to connect to one another at a level that is deeper than modern-day family values. If this is accomplished in different ways, at different levels, society will be that much closer to the acceptance of everyone and fewer people will be left emotionally stranded. The norm these days is for everyone to go through a mid-life crisis, but I believe that it is our own minds just finally waking up and realizing how far behind our emotional evolution is, due to the strains of monotonous day-to-day work and lack of belief. The goal is to stay awake and live that way! Find something to inspire you and live full of life.” - 2005 / 2006 MISSION: In early 2005, Soul Graffiti Entertainment, LLC was created to promote the positive atmospheres of group gatherings in all forms. The founders of Soul Graffiti have been working in the industry of entertainment for over twelve years and take pride in producing the right vibrations and frequencies through visual lighting and sound to create the best atmosphere to fit the situation. Soul Graffiti Entertainment is dedicated to the deeper meaning of group gatherings. Whether it is a small camping trip to a large stadium, every group gathering has a healing quality through the collective one-mindedness of the entire group. It is very similar to what happens with sports teams or any other group effort. A great aspect of Soul Graffiti Entertainment is that it looks beyond the business side of entertainment and into the realm of what it does to the psyche on an emotional level for everyone that is involved, the audience, performers, workers, and volunteers.
