Based in Los Angeles, The Temple Bhajan Band is a group of devotional chanters that tours Yoga Studios, Yoga Retreats, and various social events throughout the world. They have been together since 1999. The heart of the band is Sura whose voice is well known among practitioners of Yoga and Interfaith followers throughout Southern California. While Sura sings to the accompaniment of the harmonium he leads the rest of the members on instruments such as the esaraja, tamboura, kartals, flute, violin, and mrdunga drum in a dynamic symphony that is timeless. The Temple Bhajan Band plays ancient Vedic bhajans, which include mantras and chants from spiritual India. Many of the chants are done in a responsive fashion where the audience can participate and experience the purifying pleasure of the chanting and dancing. To top off their events there is the distribution of a sumptuous vegetarian feast.

Timothy Caldwell, an alumni of Safe Haven, founded Safe Haven Designs as a way to engage residents and members of the program, and raise money for annual activities like a trip to the county fair and picnic. They used to do car washes, but had to stop because of liability issues, Caldwell said. That left the redemption of recyclables collected from the center as the only source of income for residents, a laborious activity that earned just $60 a month. advertisement When Caldwell stumbled upon the eastern artform of "mandalas," he found a solution to the clients' money problems. The word mandala means circle in the Indian language of Sanskrit. According to the Mandala Project, a nonprofit that promotes peace through art and education, a mandala is any integrated structure organized around a unifying center. Most mandalas are circular with a repeating pattern that converges on one focal point. The artform is traditionally used as a form of meditation and healing. Multiple people can collaborate on a mandala at the same time, which makes the artform perfect for a group environment like Safe Haven where organizers put a high premium on community building. At the same time, it's not an activity they have access to in their daily lives. Chronically homeless individuals don't have the security to buy or store art supplies without fear of having them stolen. Bringing the homeless together under the umbrella of Safe Haven to make art removes one of those barriers, and allows them to express themselves, Caldwell said. Most importantly, however, mandalas are simple to put together, which makes it easier for Safe Haven Designs' artists to approach the new challenge. "You can take someone with no artistic talent, and create something beautiful," Caldwell said. That's how Caldwell felt when he found Paul Heussenstamm, a mandala artist based in Laguna Beach, Calif. who teaches workshops on how to begin making mandalas. "Mandala Paul" told Caldwell that he could teach anybody to make gallery-quality art, Caldwell said. Caldwell took the courses Heussenstamm offered, brought the knowledge back to Safe Haven and began producing artwork. It took off. Safe Haven Designs has eight artists producing pieces priced between $25 and $80 a pop, which are sold in Venice Beach, various locations throughout Santa Monica and, for the first time, online at www.safehavendesigns.com. Caldwell made his first online sale Wednesday. Artists get approximately $5 for every hour of their work through the sales, Caldwell estimated. It's a far cry from how he used to make money, playing chess in the park. "That was long, hard work, but I had to play chess to feed myself," Caldwell said. As acknowledgment of the group grows, Caldwell aims to pump up the volume and drop the price to encourage sales, as well as expand the repertoire beyond the lotus flower design and utilize symbols from other religions and ideologies in an attempt to be more inclusive. Although the money is helpful, the payoff for Safe Haven Designs' workers is intangible. "We're not greedy, although it is a source of income," Caldwell said. "It's really about building community and self-esteem."

My paintings are an offering to the viewer, and each line, each colour, each field is inspired to move them, so we can both step into a wider and higher dimension, above the daily routine, that will feed us all with harmony and grace.

Recognizing the power of art and media to help change the world, the annual "Zeitgeist Media Festival" (ZMF) bridges the artistic & activist communities in the hope to inspire change. It recognizes that needed changes in the structural/economic workings of society can only manifest in tandem with a personal/social transformation of values in each of us. While intellectual knowledge serves its role of showing the path, many in the world follow their feelings and comforts - not new knowledge. We feel Art is the most powerful tool we have to bridge these levels of awareness and inspire action for change. Keeping the gesture of the long history of influential artistic creators whose vision have changed our world for the better, The ZMF works to unify the world through this expression with the basic ethos that we are one species sharing one planet and it is time the world learns to work together for the betterment of all before it is too late.
