"CELEBRATION"
THE ART STORY:
In the picturesque landscape of Bass Lake Ranch and Lodge, a vibrant gathering known as FamJam has become an annual event, embodying the essence of love and generosity. With its pristine beauty serving as a backdrop, attendees embrace the simplicity of life, camping amidst towering trees, gathering around fireside chats, and gazing up at the star-studded sky. Cooking and sharing meals becomes a collective act of love, reinforcing the bonds of friendship and unity.
In the evenings, as the sun kisses the horizon, casting a golden glow over the gathering, the rhythmic beats of music permeate the air. It is a transformational force, elevating the spirits of all who embrace the music. Dancing to their own unique rhythms, the participants revel in the freedom of being themselves and finding acceptance in the embrace of the FamJam community. This gathering is a celebration of connection and belonging, and welcomes a tribe of kindred spirits who believe in the power of authentic self-expression. This is the perfect environment in which to co-create.
During FamJam 2022 (Sept 1 - 5) a special collaborative RADD ART piece was born.
The art titled "Celebration," was conceived with love by dozens of participants young and old. Their shared vision captured the energy inspired by Dr. Mitch Abrams' following a workshop on the science of heart. The sacred geometry of the medicinal mandala symbol emerged with bursting colours.
Dr. Mitch explored the intersection of science and spirituality, unveiling the profound harmony between the most advanced Western scientific knowledge and ancient Eastern wisdom. He revealed the interconnectedness of all things, emphasizing how the rhythms of our hearts synchronize and communicate through biomagnetic waves of energy. This revelation transforms our understanding of kindness, compassion, and inner peace, and reveals a path to global harmony.
Now, almost a year later, on May 21, 2023, at the unveiling and installation of "Celebration" in the Pavillion at Bass Lake Ranch, we celebrate. This radiant artwork, a symbol of gratitude, was gifted by Jody Bresgi and Dr. Mitch Abrams of NexGenHealth to honour the generous hearts of Bass Lake Ranch's founders—Avi and Simone Glina, along with Barry and Amy Glina. These remarkable individuals dedicate themselves to pouring love and heart into their community, fostering a foundation of connection that creates a ripple effect for generations to come. As the artwork finds its place within the Pavillion, it becomes a tangible reminder of the transformative power of kindness.
Amidst the social isolation brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic and the currents of social discord that has swept through the world, FamJam and its compassionate community has emerged as beacons of hope. With each stitch of the social fabric, one heart at a time, we all weave a tapestry of unity, resilience, and conscious growth. The future beckons with promise, as FamJam continues to bring joy and NexGenHealth continues to spread knowledge.
Since the creation of this RADD ART piece, NexGenHealth has made tangible strides establishing vital partnerships toward the vision of making Canada a nation of excellence in the science of heart coherence and compassion. We are delighted that Bass Lake Ranch is part of this exciting and transformative story of heart. Stay tuned on our journey as we continue to document and spotlight, those among us, like Bass Lake Ranch, who are leading the way and helping to raise the vibration of love around the world.
