<p>Singer songwriter Shawn Galloway was in Bellingham, Washington this past week to celebrate the launch of Joy Glfilen’s start-up company
UnitingCreatives. He sang a concert of 15 songs in front of a small and<br />
enthusiastic crowd of supporters at The Conway Muse, an old barn turned<br />
eclectic performing and visual arts center/ meeting place in La Conner.<br />
Local film company Anchor Light Productions filmed the show that will be<br />
featured on Gilfilen’s UnitingCreatives.com website. <br/> <br/> Galloway
is well known for his inspired song “I Choose Love” from his album of<br />
the same name. The song is both artistic expression and tool Galloway<br />
uses to rally his audiences to the message that we can use personal<br />
intent to move from a state of fear to a state of collective love. He<br />
believes that changing your thinking to focus on positive emotions like<br />
love and joy brings love and joy into your life and the world. You can<br />
download a free MP3 file of I Choose Love from <a href="http://shawngallaway.com/%20" target="_blank">Galloway's website</a>. <br/> <br/>
Galloway sang 14 other songs in an order that told his story of<br />
personal spiritual awakening. Between songs he told the crowd how “going<br />
deep” into himself through spiritual practice freed his artistic<br />
potential and helped him discover his purpose in life as a man and an<br />
artist. He bravely exposed his inner life and journey to view and earned<br />
the hearts of the audience in return. He sang The Calling, When I Let<br />
Go, Choice Point, The Wind is Always and ended his set with the title<br />
song from his soon to be released album Living Love Tonight. If The Wind<br />
is Always is on the album, I’ll buy it. It’s a simple and poetic folk<br />
song that I definitely want to hear again. <br/> <br/> The audience was
invited to sing along often and the overall experience was an unusual<br />
cross between a folk music concert, monastic chanting, a ceremonial rite<br />
of passage and edutainment for change agents; I smiled through most of<br />
the event. <br/> <br/> Glfilen’s UnitingCreatives.com is an idea coming to
fruition after a long gestation period during which she has been<br />
solidifying her systems approach and philosophy about how personal and<br />
social change happens. Gilfilen has been writing and produced a DVD<br />
called <a href="http://www.joygilfilen.com/" target="_blank">Flipping the Joy Switch</a><br />
in which she introduces her audience to simple tools for building<br />
emotional intelligence, a type of intelligence that enables people to<br />
manage instead of be managed by emotions. She is an advocate for using<br />
joyful intent as a means for protecting and preserving the earth for<br />
future generations; she and Galloway and a large and growing number of<br />
change agents around the world share this quantum physics inspired<br />
approach to social change. A self-proclaimed hippy who was there at the<br />
beginning of the New Age movement Gilfilen has been working steadily to<br />
teach the world how to achieve peace and joy; with her new company she<br />
intends to take her message to another level by empowering others to<br />
find and support each other and do more together than they can do alone.<br />
<br/> <br/> The UnitiedCreatives website is being designed and built by local artist and entrepreneur Tensing Kernan and company at <a href="http://www.tkweb.com/" target="_blank">TKWeb</a>.
The on-line service targets “people creating communities, projects and<br />
events that change the world.” The purpose of the site is to support a<br />
social change community of artist/entrepreneurs by providing an on-iine<br />
forum for sharing projects and events and finding collaborators and<br />
supporters. The site will feature an e-commerce engine to facilitate<br />
sale of products and services to generate life preserving revenue so<br />
that artists and other creative types can do their humanitarian work and<br />
take care of their families too. <br/> <br/> You can sign up for free to experiment with the “alpha” site at <a href="http://www.unitingcreatives.com/" target="_blank">http://www.unitingcreatives.com</a>.
The web team is hard at work getting design revisions and user<br />
experiences fixes in place and the refreshed site will go live soon. I<br />
look forward to using the site myself and can’t wait to see the finished<br />
design. Watch for more to come from the collaborations that will be<br />
empowered by UnitedCreatives.com as creatives unite. <br/> <br/> Links: <br/> <a href="http://www.joygilfilen.com/" target="_blank">Joy Gilfilen</a> <br/> <a href="http://www.shawngalloway.com/" target="_blank">Shawn Galloway</a> <br/> <a href="http://unitiingcreatives.com/" target="_blank">Uniting Creatives</a> <br/> <a href="http://anchorlightvideo.com/" target="_blank">Anchor Light Video</a> <br/> <a href="http://www.tkweb.com/" target="_blank">TKWeb</a></p>
