Social Artistry Odyssey

Donation protected
We are creating a week-long adventure conference called the Social Artistry Odyssey  with the goal of tapping into Human Potential to activate more people to take ownership of their lives and the future. We want everyone who wishes to attend to be able to do so. Through interactive exercises, guided reflections, and transformative experiences, participants will develop a deeper understanding of self, of society, and of connectivity via the holistic principles of Social Artistry that has emerged from new science, ancient wisdom, and the work of illuminaries such as Joseph Campbell, Margaret Mead, and Jean Houston.



With your donation, we can help empower more adults who would otherwise lack the funds to attend. From start to finish, Odyssey's goal is to ignite the passion in young adults to take ownership of their futures and become creative leaders. For example, one of our participants, James (pictured above),  arrived in Ashland last year, his Dallas creative community stagnant. He credits his journey at Odyssey with helping him "align with his purpose," and become "in command of his burdens and obstacles." Now, his creative community is flourishing and he has fully embraced a career he has a passion for - he will be starting his Master's in counseling this fall. 


Stories like James' are the reason why we created this donation page and need your help - we want to ensure everyone with a passion for changing the world is able to participate in the experience that we are creating. Currently, event registration is $500 and many interested young people face steep travel costs as well. Odyssey offers half-scholarships to select participants who demonstrate both financial need and a vibrant, impassioned desire to attend the event and become impactful change in the world. A gift of $250 gives a scholarship to one participant with lower travel costs, while a gift of $500 or more supports us in bringing in brilliant minds and hearts from far-flung places like Texas, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. We need you help to make our experience a reality! 


We thank you for your donation, whatever the amount. You are helping us radically advance the emergence of young Social Artists as change makers at a time when our world is at a state of great transition. Young people are one of our great assets and resources. By sparking their fire, we can create a more connected, more awakened, flourising world, and empowerment for all


If we surpass our goal, all additional funds go towards our participants individual SPARK  projects as well as Odyssey next year. Aim high, folks. We need your help!
