The Philosophy That Guides

We’ve been reflecting quite a bit as we endeavor to develop this communications platform centered on our Synchronicity Network Newsletter. Our mission, as currently understood, is this:

“The mission of Synchronicity Planning & Communications is to serve and celebrate folks who care for art, science and the common good, improving the quantity and quality of community engagement on Long Island via a networking and communications platform centered on the Synchronicity Network and its Flagship Newsletter.”

Digging deeper, we ask ourselves WHY? For her part, Katie has offered the following:

Rise and Shine

I remember the wisest, sweetest, most incredible woman I know saying,

“People pray for power. It is better that they will Love,

for Love is the greatest power of All.”

 

I pray: May I remember her teachings well. May I understand them at least enough.

May we together channel more than ourselves;

Manifest Love and Light.

 

Pray for Love. Pray for Truth. Truth and Love in equal measure

For as many before and after have somehow said, “Truth without Love is brutal, and Love without Truth is false.”

This has long made sense to me.  I am still learning that it takes a third leg: Faith.

 

To make a sturdy table, we need Faith.

Faith, Faith, Faith

…to cast away fear, have faith…

 

“Nothing boils in lukewarm water,” she says.

Remember to command, to commune, to comfort; to will harmony in thy multifaceted being

…Truth, Love, Faith…

 

Faith in the Greater.

Faith in each other.

Faith that as we will it already is.

Faith that this Flame I feel deep within is far from mine alone.

Faith that you feel this, too.

 

Humble before God, equal before man, recognizing the God within and the human as well, each manifesting in its own way.

May we will and channel Strength and Dexterity, Grace and Mercy. Healing Light.

Open to the Greater Good without and within, in places that we do not know.

 

She reminds me:

“There is no saint without a past and no sinner without a future,”

“He loves you not for what you are but for what you are becoming.”

 

“Ho’oponopono. Ho’oponopono. Ho’oponopono,”

I hear other voices say.

She speaks to me of Lady Quan Yin.

They remind me to start on a path to Forgiveness,

to Uplift, to Enlightenment with myself;

to be grateful for every blessing and each accomplishment no matter how small, 

 

For the smallest is the greatest.

For so little do we know, For we all know a little.

May we appreciate all that is Good, Humble and Grateful to be so blessed. 

 

She advises Joyful Anticipation.

Discerning and Healing. Flexible and Strong. Reconciling.

Forgiving. Transcending. Overcoming.

 

Calling all who Will to Transmute the lesser,  To Receive, Accelerate and Amplify the Greater.

Manifest Love. Be the Light. Keep the Faith.

Honor the Divine within and without.

 

This indigenous wise-woman who communes with All reminds me of St. Francis’ Prayer. “Let me be an Instrument of Thy Peace.”

Faithfully. Humbly. Gratefully. Evermore.

 

This I Pray. Namaste. Amem.

Bay Shore Art Crawl — WOW!!!

Bay Shore Art Crawl Poster - The event's been rescheduled for May 21st.
Correction!!! Originally I managed to combine the bios of two different Jose Tutivens. My apologies to all involved! The information here has since been edited.  

THE BAY SHORE ART CRAWL HAS BEEN MOVED TO SUNDAY, 5/21, 12-5PM.

We love local art walks! Have you seen what’s been developing in Bay Shore? This event presented by the Islip Arts Council, South Shore Arts and Colored Colors is AMAZING. It has grown exponentially in the few years it’s been a thing. It’s HUGE.

The event features art displays, live creating and music, poetry, kid’s activities and discounts at local businesses. Start your day at The Agency, 61 W Main St, Bay Shore. There you can pick up an informative map, and a bracelet that will give you discounts at participating locations. Get there early to sign-up for FREE, limited seating workshops. Other goodies are promised along the way!

They are super grateful to their sponsors: Northwell Health, The Agency, Suffolk County, Suffolk County Legislator Steve J. Flotteron, Pace Real Estate, Ramsay Realtors, Chapey Funeral Home, Samson Inspection Services, Campasano Law Firm, Greenview Properties, Digho Arts and Lost Island Arts.

Special Thanks to Jose!

Folks involved also make a point to tell me that, while the whole community has really stepped up, the magic here has a lot to do with a guy named Jose Tutiven.

Jose is a NY raised Ecuadorian mixed-media painter who transformed his frustration with the arts scene into a multi faceted events curation business. In this, he has shown an unparalleled capacity to build community, help others get their work to light and generally serve as a force for deep good. A primary platform for this is Colored Colors (on Instagram @colored.colors), where he is “Creating Relationships between Creatives and the Communities through community driven events.”

I’ve never met him, but I hear from excellent sources that he is THE BEST.

“Where do we start when it comes to Jose Tutiven??” said Diane Palma of Digho Arts, “He is THE example we should all follow to be a strong cultural leader. Be true to yourself. Honor your roots. And embrace those around you in order to grow. Bringing people together while highlighting their talents has always been Jose’s driving force as he grew Colored Colors the past few years. His welcoming community and growing success is a testament to his natural leadership qualities of empowering those around him. We are lucky to call him our friend.”

This is going to be awesome.

Go check it out!

Note: Please click on images below to get the full picture. There may be some adjustments due to all the rescheduling caused by inclement weather. More information can be found and will likely continue to be updated on the Art Crawl’s Eventbrite here. Hard copy maps may also be available at The Agency in Bay Shore on the 21st. Thanks!
