Just listen to this, from Shawn Madden, visionary musician:

Shawn Madden attended the VisionForce Boot Camp, aka, iStand Experience in March 2007. He came with his guitar and serenaded us with his uplifting music. Later that year he moved to Austin, joined the VisionForce team, and has been preparing the launch of his grand vision for transforming the world through song and dance.

Check out my audio interview of him and his One Prosperous World Music Tour.

For nearly two years, the VisionForce community has been following the story of Clovis Ategeka, as he has ventured forward to create prosperity in Uganda. Now he’s coming to America this June! With your help, that is!

I just interviewed him and his friend/colleague Medi, who aims to join Clovis here in Austin for Prosperity For All 2008. Please chipin even a small amount to make Clovis’ voyage here possible!

Watch for more details about this adventure at the Prosperity For All 2008 blog.

Michael Skye: This is a special interview by my mother, Sasha Xarrian, who was a powerful guiding force in my life. She is author of Outrageous Mastery, An Experiment with Power, which has sold very well on-line for the last few years and is about to be published in print.

She conducted this interview for her membership site, where she invites people to experiment with their creative power and create the life they envision. My mother's story is an incredible one, and she has been a continual source of inspiration to me since the time I was born (yes, I am biased, but just ask the hundreds of people have written to her, after her story and ideas changed their lives)!

VisionForce is standing with her, and calling to the world to find 50 visionaries willing to stand with her.

An interesting quote from a post to the Vision Cafe:

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was on the verge of fronting a new campaign to withdraw from the Vietnam War and combat poverty in America, and possibly the rest of the world. It was called the Poor People´s Campaign. He was assassinated before he had the chance to march forward with his vision. Here is a link for an article that sums it up…

If you’re someone who stands for a better world, and contributes your time and energy in service, we at VisionForce want to stand behind you. To honor you and support you in bringing about the world you envision, we’ve created Visionary Activist Awards, which make it much more affordable for you to attend our iStand Experiences. You can read more about these awards at our One Million Visionaries web site (live but under early development).

Often times we, as visionary activists, can become so enraged by what people are doing to the things, people or causes we care about that we start fighting against the powers that be, rather than standing for the world we envision and inviting others to stand with us. Our iStand Experience is an intensive training in how to think, speak and take action in ways that can inspire even your greatest adversaries to let down their walls and stand with you.

Our next iStand Experience is this June 10-15, 2008 in Austin, TX, where 50 visionaries from around the globe will unite to face everything, avoid nothing and stand for PROSPERITY FOR ALL IN OUR LIFETIME! If you feel called by this and you are a visionary activist, look for applications here next week.
