<div><strong>Help Bring the “Do What You Love” Sculpture to Life</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is Sergey Gordienko <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dowhatyoulove.artist/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@dowhatyoulove.artist</a> <a href="https://www.dowhatyoulove.art" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.dowhatyoulove.art</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm an international artist based in Los Angeles and currently running <a href="https://littleeasy-gallery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Little Easy Art Gallery</a> in Downtown Los Angeles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than 10 years, I've dedicated my art to one simple message:
</div>
<div><strong>DO WHAT YOU LOVE</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through paintings, murals, exhibitions, live performances, and public art, I've shared this message with thousands of people because I believe that when people do what they truly love, everything begins to change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This year, instead of asking for birthday gifts, I'd like to invite you to become a co-creator of the biggest project I've ever dreamed of creating.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A monumental "<strong>Do What You Love</strong>" sculpture.
</div>
<div>More than just a piece of public art, it will invite people to slow down, reflect, and ask themselves one simple question:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>"Am I doing what I truly love?"</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The sculpture will make its debut at Little <a href="https://littleeasy-gallery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Easy Art Gallery</a> in Downtown Los Angeles. One of my dreams is to bring it to Burning Man, where art has the power to create unforgettable shared experiences. My long-term vision is to create a series of "<strong>Do What You Love</strong>" sculptures in different cities around the world, each becoming part of its own community while carrying the same message.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Message Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've spent years creating one message over and over again:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Do What You Love.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>People often ask me why.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because I believe the greatest tragedy isn't failing.
</div>
<div>It's never allowing yourself to become <strong>who you truly are.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we do what we truly love, we become happier, more creative, more generous, and more alive. We create better families, stronger communities, and a better world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This sculpture isn't just a piece of public art.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>It's a daily reminder that life is happening now—and that each of us has the opportunity to choose the path that feels true to who we are.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If one person walks past this sculpture and finally decides to pursue the dream they've been postponing for years, then every brushstroke, every hour, and every donation will have been worth it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Phase One Goal — $15,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This first fundraising campaign will cover the creation of the sculpture, including:</strong>
</div>
<div>Engineering &amp; structural planning
</div>
<div>Materials
</div>
<div>Fabrication
</div>
<div>Internal support structure
</div>
<div>Professional finishing
</div>
<div>High-gloss automotive paint
</div>
<div>Transportation
</div>
<div>Installation
</div>
<div>Documentation of the creative process
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every dollar raised beyond this initial goal will go directly toward bringing future "Do What You Love" public sculptures to life.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Become a Co-Creator</strong>
</div>
<div>I don't want people to feel like they're simply making a donation.
</div>
<div>I want you to become part of this story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your permission, every contributor will be recognized on a permanent commemorative plaque installed alongside the sculpture.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Years from now, people will see this artwork and know that it wasn't created by one artist alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It was created by a community that believed in one simple idea:
</div>
<div><strong>DO WHAT YOU LOVE.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you for believing in this dream.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you contribute $10, $100, $1,000, or simply share this campaign with someone who believes in the message...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every great dream begins with one person.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The biggest ones become reality because a community chooses to believe in them.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you</strong> for becoming part of this story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Let's bring the first "Do What You Love" sculpture to life.</strong>

In the meantime, interested attendees may join our weekly <a href="https://meetup.com/virtual-world-arcade" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meetups in VR</a> to get a feel for what the Conference in VR will be like.<br /><br />If you are interested in being a Community Partner to spread the word out about the conference and cross-promotion between communities, please email <a href="mailto:[email redacted]">[email redacted]</a>.<br /><br />Sponsors receive a sponsor presentation, sponsor booth, and promotion to our audience in newsletters, social media, and at the virtual conference venue.<br /><br />Developers may level up to a Developer Sponsor by adding their game to the bundle and donating their proceeds to a charity of their choice, and we will announce their donations and charities to our audience.<br /><br />If you are interested in participating as a developer, please complete this <a href="https://forms.gle/g1CnD8tHU3RA2EZJ9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">developer application</a>.<br /><br />More information on schedule, speakers, and exhibitors will be available at <a href="http://conferenceinvr.com"><a href="http://conferenceinvr.com" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://conferenceinvr.com</a></a>, as we get closer to the conference.<br /><br /><strong>About Indie Developers</strong><br />Indie developers are often individuals or small teams pursuing their passion of making indie games from their apartment living off of savings, working part time jobs, or scrapping together freelancing work to pay for food and rent.<br /><br />As a result of Covid-19's widespread impact to communities and the economy, many indie developers have been struggling to keep themselves afloat to continue pursuing their dreams.<br /><br />Most indie developers have not made their big break or hit game yet and are on early access or pre-alpha prototypes of their games, are not charging for their games yet, and rely on the support of their communities to keep going.<br /><br />Perhaps just as important as the monetary support, we highly encourage donors to check out indie developers' exhibition booths, get to know the individuals, listen to their stories, and consider joining their discord communities. Discord invite links will be provided at the top of each booth.<br /><br /><strong>About World Central Kitchen</strong><br />WCK is working across America to safely distribute individually packaged, fresh meals in communities that need support – for children and families to pick up and take home, as well as delivery to seniors who cannot venture outside. WCK is now active in dozens of cities providing over 250,000 fresh meals every day.<br /><br />Traditional safety nets like school feeding programs, city services, and food banks are struggling to meet basic needs. Seniors, who are isolated for their safety, are unable to access meal services. Meanwhile, the country’s hospital workers are more stretched than ever before.<br /><br />WCK is also now activating restaurants to help meet this demand by providing jobs for their staff and meals for those in need. #ChefsForAmerica is making a key connection between people who need meals and restaurant workers and drivers who need to earn a living.<br /><br />Please visit <a href="https://wck.org"><a href="https://wck.org" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://wck.org</a> </a>to learn more.<br /><br /><strong>About Conference in VR</strong><br />The objective of Conference in VR is to connect amazing people around the world to solve problems and generate action and impact following the conference while being the safest, most cost effective, most time efficient, and best conference experience.<br /><br />If enough attendees support and enjoy this conference and request another, we have our partners at the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund in support of the World Health Organization lined up to be the focus of the next fundraising conference later this Summer.<br /><br />Our very own small team of indie developers working out of our dev house in San Jose California works hard every day to organize problem-solving conferences and a virtual conference platform that enables amazing people like you to solve the problems you care about.<br /><br />Please visit <a href="http://conferenceinvr.com"><a href="http://conferenceinvr.com" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://conferenceinvr.com</a></a> to learn more about this conference and check out past conferences and meetups in VR.<br /><br />Please email <a href="mailto:[email redacted]">[email redacted] </a>to learn more about using this free Conference in VR platform for your own fundraiser or event.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Jeremy<br /><br />Jeremy Lam<br />Virtual World Arcade, CEO<br />Conference in VR, Director<br /><a href="https://www.virtualworldarcade.com"><a href="https://virtualworldarcade.com" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://virtualworldarcade.com</a></a><br /><a href="http://conferenceinvr.com"><a href="http://conferenceinvr.com" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://conferenceinvr.com</a></a>

COVID-19 INDIE DEV FUNDRAISING CONFERENCE IN VR

Hello everyone, this page is dedicated to my warrior mom who is healing her life.  She began her cancer healing journey in 2016.  It started as ovarian cancer and has now spread to her liver and other organs.  She's courageously been searching for answers for the past 3 years and has overcome 3 major risky surgeries, a relentless amount of chemo treatments, never-ending hospitalizations from pain, and has taken a mountain of pharmaceutical drugs in the hope to rid her condition.<br /><br />Post-traditional medicine treatment, Adriana worked with Rick Simpson Oil, also known as medical marijuana for cancer, as well as other holistic healing therapies including theta healing (below), but the tumors in her abdomen continue to grow to the point that she now has trouble eating because they are blocking her digestive system from functioning normally.<br /><br />Adriana has been diagnosed with Stage Four Cancer and is COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO LIVE.<br /><br />She recently pursued an intensive certification course in Theta Healing, where she has done extensive meditation and deep-dive discovery into her emotions, with the intention of minimizing the cancer in her body by healing any emotional upsets or past traumas.<br /><br />At this point, after having explored so many different avenues, both traditional and holistic, Adriana believes her best opportunity is to attend an integrative cancer clinic either in the U.S. or abroad.  Four different centers have been selected, based on the comprehensive modalities they cover, recommendations from reputable sources, and Adriana’s own interest in going.<br /><br />These centers come at a high price tag— from $35,000 to $50,000— and we are gathering together as a community to help her raise the funds to heal her cancer, and to save her life.<br /><br />If you are drawn to support in any way, whatever you can give will be graciously received with gratitude. <br /><br />Please share with your family and loved ones.  We are here to support each other on this earth as one commUNITY, and we have a great opportunity to support a dear sister in her time of need.<br /><br />Thank you!  With love~<br /><br />Sarah Silva (Adriana’s daughter), Bryan Torres, Jeska Brodbeck and Adriana Silva &lt;3

<b>"Through Transcendental Meditation, the human brain can<br>experience that level of intelligence which is an ocean of all<br>knowledge, energy, intelligence, and bliss." "”Maharishi</b><br><br>Dearest Friends and Family,<br><br>            Please help support me in going on the next <b>Teacher Training Course for Transcendental Meditation (TTC)</b> this fall. I learned Transcendental Meditation when I was 10 years old, and to this day it has been the single most influential and beautiful experience of my 26 years.The experience of transcending has always been in my heart as a pure and silent force. This force has guided me towards light year after year, even in my own personal times of darkness and struggle. It is the reason I truly, want to become a teacher. This desire to become a teacher of TM, has gotten stronger each year especially since working for <b>The Quiet Time Program</b> and <b>The Center for Wellness and Achievement in Education,</b> (CWAE) in San Francisco ( <a href="http://<a href="http://cwae.org/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://cwae.org/</a>)">www.CWAE.org</a>)<br>for the last two years. <br><br><br>Working in a public school where Transcendental Meditation has been implemented, has been a profound and rewarding role for me. Although I grew up in Fairfield, IA around many peers who learned TM, being surrounded by a different youth community has opened my eyes to the paramount impact this technique has on people. Seeing many of the students in these public schools learn TM has been both heartening and motivating for me. <br><br><br>In the last two years I have frequently thought to myself, "This really does work, and most of them really do get it." It's been a humbling reality to witness. It's propelled me in wanting to become a TM teacher more than anything in the world, as well as feeling even more gratitude for my own practice.<br><br><br>I'm hoping to begin TTC in the fall and continue working for The Quiet Time Program where I will be able to actually teach students and others Transcendental Meditation.<br><br><br>This path, in turn, has always been my truth because it is where my bliss has ultimately, always been. There is nothing I feel more passionate about. <br><br><br>Thank you for taking the time to read this <br>and helping in any way you can.<br><br><br>Much love,<br>Rachel<br><br><br><br>. <br><br><br><br><br><br>

Please Help Me Go on TTC!
