Concert Approaching

At the end of October I went with my daughters in Orlando, Florida, where I participated in the Professional Avatar course. The Professional Course is about connection. It's a leadership course. We had such a good time, they had fun at the pool, while I was working on my resistances to fully experience life.
We came back for a few days and I hopped on another plane to the Avatar Course, again in Orlando, Florida. This time for the Avatar course.
The Avatar course is about being source of one's life. Many students came out of the week of integration shiny and so happy!

My daughter celebrated her birthday in the middle of November-her Earth Party was amazing, we did a scavenger hunt...in the house, since it was pouring outside. we could not clean up the forest but we gave recycled crafts paper in little brown paper goody-bags.
There was about 17 children in the house...;-) it was fun and loud!

The Ariane Studio concert is December 19 2009 at 7PM in New York city, at the Thalia on 95th and Broadway. We are preparing the songs, the musicians and singers are working very hard.
We are rehearsing every day and I am very excited to say that already 95tickets have been sold. The theater holds about 150 seats so with the 25 performers we have about 30 more tickets to sell, I hope we will have a full house this year. The concert's benefit will go to the Hamden Earth Day Celebration.

Yesterday Infinity (the group of my 3 young students, www.myspace.com/infinity4) recorded a second song-the first one is a Holiday one-In front of the Line, that we recorded about 2 weeks ago.
I am also giving a workshop December 12 and 13, the Resurfacing workshop, which is the first part of the Avatar course. It's about discovering our blueprints and how we have been operating through life, and start changing those blueprints that are impeding to us achieving our dreams.

On December 24 at noon, we will host a 2 hours music and hot drink Holiday Party!
We will give out the Compassion exercise and share a beautiful moment. It is proven that 2 countries that are friend consume at least 100 times less resources than 2 countries which are at war. So make friends, raise the compassion in the world and save natural resources.

Creating and recording

Wow, it has been some 2 weeks...The first week end of October the Avatar Masters team gathered in New York city to deliver the first day of the Avatar course, called the ReSurfacing workshop. It was so beautiful to see human beings open up and discover their blueprints and acquire the tools to change what the don't like and keep what they do like. It was empowering!
Then I had a full teaching week of music and introduction to Avatar.
I received magnets and a banner to !promote the concert in December, my 2 girls are going to sing and they are really excited.
I sent the invitation for the concert to all my friends and I sure hope it is going to be a full house.
Yesterday and today, it was recording time...with Infinity. The Demo CD should be ready for end of December and will be given at the event in New York. well it's late and I have a networking event tomorrow early morning. sending love to all of you who are reading. Ariane

Earth Day Celebration

This week has been so fantastic.
I want to first thank everyone for showing up and supporting my vision.

After calling the town of Hamden, CT, the recycling coordinator obtained the Major approval for our concerts and events this year to raise money for the Earth Day Celebration, which is in April 2010. This get us going and this is great!

I guess that, feeling the enthusiasm, my daughter Mathilda decided to make her birthday party a Green Party! So fun! Her birthday is in November and she is turning 6.

Here are her ideas:
1.Do a Scavenger Hunt in the forest near our house and clean it at the same time
2.She designed a book about the earth ... I am still deciding on how to print it and make it a treat for the guests
3.Have a Green Cake with the Earth on it
4.Have Infinity (one of my singing group with Audrey Campbell, Lauren Larkin and Natascia Simone)sing inspiring "green" songs
5.Invite lots of friends to have great time and inspire them to recycle and compost.

Concert in New York(Symphonyspace.org, Dec 19 09), titled "Make a Change", we are now looking for one "up-coming famous" artist that would bring more attention to the event and raise more money. I put a letter together addressed to businesses and artists. Everyone who would support the benefit will have a special place in the Concert, either as a performer or in the Program Book and of course mentioned live during the event.

The money will go to 2 projects:
1. like already mentioned to support the Earth Day Celebration in Hamden
2. create a book about green easy actions to do for the children

The singer students are making great progress in choosing inspirational songs or writing and arranging their own songs.We work now on the details of each song, backing vocals and bettered melodies.

Tip of the week:
To save water, which is going to be a problem in a few years, turn the water off when you are brushing your teeth and use a cup to rinse.
Use detergent that don't have any phosphate in them...(banished in Europe in like 1977)

About the Avatar® Course:
I have a meetup group with Nancy O., my good friend, on Saturday morning at 11AM, it's free and you can start exploring right then with a mini-course (www.meetup.com/avatarct)
The question you must ask yourself is:
Why would you like to do the Avatar® course? Well imagine that the people who you fear, like least, and are overwhelmed by, are automatically conditioning 90% or more of your decisions. That's life without Avatar®!!
Go to avatarintro.com, it's a great way to get started.
Also if you'd like to explore your blueprints for 2 days and come out shiny and more yourself, the Masters of CT, NY, NJ are having a ReSurfacing® week end in New York Oct 3 and 4, there is also an introduction on Friday night in NY at 6.30PM, email for more info about location.

Tonight my husband noticed something interesting..."...here you are, Ariane, putting one more thing on your plate..." he was thinking about my green project,(he is supportive and I love him for that!)yes I am and let me tell you, having a "purpose" and taking action on it is an amazing feel. Try it! Because if we take the actions that will bring us to a better world, we will feel better about ourselves, and feeling good leads to stable happiness. Spread Happiness. Do something kind for someone else.

sending you all appreciation and love

Music Songs Recycling

It started a couple of weeks ago, when one of my students, Natascia, at the Ariane Studio, told me about the new Disney project "Send It On", a new song, a few young artists, and it's a hit. Disney is giving out a million dollars to help clean the Earth, and you can vote when you have pledged and taken action. Mmm, I thought "that's a great idea, a great purpose and I would love to help and be part of it".

I always have been the "green" type of girl as long as I can remember.
When I was 11 or 12, living in Switzerland, I was "educating" my parents about not trowing paper in the trash, or batteries or aluminum. On the street, I would go in delivery trucks that would let their engine on, and turn them off...oh well I was bold, and I still am in a different way. I tried to make wise choices and in regard to the whole picture.
For example I waited for Nicolas Hayek (creator of the Swiss Company Swatch) to realize his environment friendly car to buy it, but then he gave up...sold his project to Mercedes and that Smart Green Car never came out. So I gave up too, and I bought at 23 (yes I waited all these years) my first car. Now that they came out with Hybrid, I of course bought one when I had to change my vehicle, I drive a Prius.

So here I am at the Ariane Singing and Avatar® Studio (Avatar is a self-empowerment course, go onto arianeavatarstudio.brightegg.com or email if you are curious) and I have a bunch of great talented singer and songwriter, we write, play and record music, we could associate ourself with the Disney project, but we probably are much too small, but we can do something. So I started.

On December 19 2009, the Ariane Studio (located in Hamden, CT) has a concert in New York city, where the singers showcase their talents, the work of the year with originals and covers.
At the occasion and until then, I decided to raise money for a Green Purpose, to also raise awareness in my community and beyond about what we can do.

In the past week, here what happened: I talked at my little daughter's school and they are now on the way to recycle in the classrooms, something they were not doing.

I bought a compost bin in my town for $20 and installed it, we already were composting at my house, but the slow way, this way will be more efficient to create organic soil for the garden. Also I bought an extra one and will donate it to my older daughter's school, go at their green committee and get the process going.

ACTION:
You too, you can do it, check if your town sells those compost bin with a little container for the kitchen. You collect veggies, fruits, eggs shell and you create more soil for your garden, and you avoid taxes and trash.

I talked with the Recycling coordinator in my town, we are going to meet and prepare a project we will support and create. The singers are excited to have a purpose.
If you don't know what to do: Help Someone!!
And raise your own awareness by doing the Avatar® Course.

I'll be back soon with more actions and steps to take to make our earth clean and stop global warming. Every little action counts! Every action counts!

Find your voice within and do what's right for the whole!
love, light
