Announcing the One Prosperous World Tour 2008:

 

A series of Conscious Celebrations created by and for those who are standing and working to create prosperity for all in our lifetime – co-created, facilitated, and marinated in the musical magic of Shawn Madden, a dynamic and versatile performer who puts the party in prosperity!

 

This tour is all about celebration of collaboration and collective transformation; individuals, groups, communities and organizations all over the world are right now creating a peaceful and prosperous global civilization, building the foundation for a sustainable human presence which honors all life on planet earth.

 

You don’t see this on the nightly news, but it’s happening – and I am inviting those who hear this call to join with me in creating events to celebrate, invigorate, and accelerate this movement.

 

I bring performance skills as a singer-songwriter, DJ, emcee and host, and I am fully prepared with the equipment and the know-how to create an event that will rock your community, energize your people, and vitalize your projects. We are catalyzing the movement with dancing and commemorating it in song; we are giving it a voice – the voice of humanity singing together, hearts open wide!

 

The first event of this tour will be Prosperity For All 2008 the week of June 10-15 in Austin, Texas, where I am providing audio equipment and the soundtrack for an alliance-building event where fifty visionary leaders from around the world are uniting to face everything, avoid nothing, and stand together for prosperity for all in our lifetime. From there, I will go for a loop through the central United States, creating magic and celebration, leaving joy and gratitude in my wake!

I just posted a video there with the beginnings of a brand-new song, and today I did a podcast with Michael Skye where I talk about the One Prosperous World Tour 2008, Conscious Celebrations, and how we can work together to create a future that inspires us and calls forth the best that we have to offer.

Enjoy!

You may or may not be aware yet that I am a Partner in a project called Prosperity For All 2008.

I am participating in this event because I am clear that the future of humanity depends upon those of us who are willing to stand up and declare ourselves its architects and builders, and I am not willing to wait for lawmakers, politicians, and heads of corporations to lead the way. They won't.

If you haven't visited the site yet, I am inviting you to click the link above and poke around - and if you're inspired, get involved. You'll find a video I recorded the other day of a song I began writing, as well as a podcast with Michael Skye, founder of VisionForce, and some other goodies.

If you've been paying attention to what's happening in the world - even where you are - you'll notice that things are starting to look pretty precarious, and you may have even already started feeling the impact in your own life.

The good news is that with conscious intent and the right actions, you can put yourself into the groove with folks who are connecting and joining forces to create a future that inspires and calls forth the best that humanity has to offer.

Go visit www.prosperityforall2008.com and start creating YOUR prosperous future!

I've answered this question in song - and here's a video.  Note: the last two minutes are entirely improvised. ; )

Enjoy, and please post your responses: what does prosperity for all mean to YOU? : )
