Donation from Wacom – “We dream of a world alive with creativity”

wacomlogoWe’re very happy to announce that we have received a very generous donation from Wacom.com – the leading producer of high quality pen tablets for creating and drawing via CAD.

Wacom: “We love what creativity brings to the world. It makes us human, adding a richness to our lives, bringing ideas, imagination and beauty. We dream of a world alive with creativity, where people are free to explore and express new ideas.”

We share this sense of purpose with many – the world’s most creative people who dedicate their lives to it, and those who turn their good ideas into actions that change the world for the better.

Thank you for this very special gift that will help us make the story about “Zarina: The little Girl of the Tree House” come alive.

Homeless premieres on youtube and vimeo | Film

Homeless  How would you like to change every day for someone who lives on the streets. 

Shoes  Every day. We wake up. Get dressed. Put on our shoes. All of this is happening every day, whether you’re someone living in the comfort of your home or live on the streets. What would it feel like to walk in shoes belonging to someone else?

Donate We would like to invite you to donate your designer shoes to ElephantTribe.org, which would sell them and raise funds to create more awareness about the homeless and possibly further every-ones lives to be more compassionate and meaningful. You can contact us either by phone 310-456-4901 or via email: Henrik@ElephantTribe.org

The one issue that Angelenos most want the city to solve is a surprising one

A recent poll, taken in Los Angeles County, found that homelessness was the no one issue facing residents of LA. However, at the same time “it’s rather disturbing the way that a lot of people talk about homelessness”, says Becky Dennison, executive director of Venice Community Housing.

One of ElephantTribe.org primary functions is to create awareness and understanding about difficult community issues (locally and broader) and to create and promote positive solutions to those important matters. Watch our latest inspirational film about a homeless man in our film series: “From someone to no one”

Moby makes 4 hours of Free music designed for yoga and meditation available

mobyhumaneInternationally-acclaimed electronic artist and active yoga practitioner, Moby, has shared a collection of ambient recordings designed for yoga, sleep and meditation – which he’s made available for everyone via free download on his website – because he’s good like that.

This means that more great film music is available for ElephantTribe.org’s inspirational films. We greatly thank Moby for this generous gift.

Originally recorded for himself, the veteran electronic producer and DJ says on his website: “Over the last couple of years I’ve been making really, really, really quiet music to listen to when I do yoga or sleep or meditate or panic. I ended up with four hours of music and have decided to give it away.”

Long ambients1: calm. sleep. offers up 11 instrumental tracks, perfect for pairing with a deep, relaxing meditation or yoga session. Moby describes it as “really quiet: no drums, no vocals, just very slow calm pretty chords and sounds and things for sleeping and yoga.”

Elevate your downward dog or savasana with these ambient tunes thanks to “one of electronic music’s most indelible figures.” Download them from his website or stream below. Namaste.
