Recent News

News:: Action Heroes have a new HQ on Stone Island, near Mazatlan, Mexico... and it has been rockin´ to the sound of African drums played by our friends from Agua Caliente and the great sellection of tunes on Meesh´s ipod.

I found my life partner, who is an amazing artist and we are very happy here... Sabina drawing and me at the sewing machine.

April 5th we are heading to a week-long underground festival of artists like Burning Man on an island north of Mazatlan, and then on to Mexico City to meet the parents.

We will be in Canada for the summer, and then return to Stone Island for the fall and winter to host you in paradise. I fly into Montreal April 16th, and may want to spend a week or two there with Sabina or waiting for her flight, so if there is goodness to be had, please share.

Hjeron, the theatre director of Myth Maker (http://www.mythmaker.ca ) is here with us for a month, making plans to base a training camp between Roblito and Stone Island next winter, so he will have a troupe ready to tour Europe the following summer.

My plan was to form a group to go to Uganda in May, but we will put it off a year, and make our focus Casa de Mis Amigos on Stone Island, so we will be fully prepared to rock Africa with serious skills and a power team. Jaime, who have us the dream house, wants us to form a group of artists... to live in paradise together... and so we shall.

Roblito Community Center for Cultural Exchange has a new page:
http://www.actionheronetwork.net/roblito.html

This is a free egalitarian grassroots gathering, which means we will be cooking together, skill-sharing, and deciding what we'll be doing on a day-to-day basis, depending on who is in the circle at the time.

We are a yoga instructor, a clothing designer, a green builder, a cook, a DJ, etc... to name a few of our talents. Some great people are asking about it... so we'll see who shows. I need to talk with everyone on the phone first, so please send your phone number and I'll call you(I have free calling in North America), or call my cell: 506-654-3073

There are hot springs, ocean waves, horses, bikes, canoes, mountains, rock climbing, and lots of kids to play with. We'll be together to have fun serving each other, living our purpose and learning from everything. It may give you a new perspective on life.

After the gathering in Roblito, we'll relocate to Mazatlan for the first two weeks of February to create the first annual Mazatlan Awareness Festival ( http://www.facebook.com/friends/?ref=tn#/group.php?gid=19571155904 ), which will involve parties, lectures, busking, public art demonstrations, community circles, whale watching, yoga, green building, clean-ups and creative uses for trash. Soon there will be a page to learn more at: www.actionheronetwork.net

Last night, I got my plane ticket to Mazatlan, Mexico... $363 one-way from Halifax, Nova Scotia... Arriving January 12th.

Looking forward to seeing your smiling face in the sunshine...

Our site.... http://www.actionheronetwork.net was recreated tonight, and will continue to be changed often as possible to inspire and connect, as we become inspired and connected. Video from past projects will soon be added.

Andrew MacCormack at Hemmings House Pictures is editing the Uganda tapes and posting them on Youtube after I finish going through them all to figure out what needs to be seen, and Greg Doyle got me back on track with web-weaving. Those guys are heroes!

If you have a project you want to promote on the new website, go to the group photo album, add a photo of yourself and some action shots showing what you do with info and links.... then I'll add it to the site. You can suggest other people you know as well, but the idea is build a network of people working together, not just another links list.

Lots of progress to report in many areas.... but I've been up all night creating this site... after teaching hoop dance this evening... and sewing hammocks all day, and I teach cardio-hoop at noon, so it is time to crash.

Check back soon... and tune into the Mazatlan Awareness Festival( http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19571155904 ), we have a great keynote speaker, Dr. Lorena M. Rios Mendoza from University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. She was on the research vessel Algalita, that exposed the huge accumulation of plastic in the vortex current between Hawaii and Alaska, which was documented for VBS.tv at: http://www.vbs.tv/shows/toxic/garbage-island/

Tonight, Aaron Ableman also committed to spit into the mic and plant seeds in Mazatlan, coming down from Oakland:

WOW!!! I just got a sweet email this moment:

Cory,

So it looks like Uganda is a definite possibility for PWB. It depends on funding (of course) but also on whether we work in Kyrgyzstan or how ambitious we are. But I'm defiantly excited about the idea. The timeline we would be looking at is researching on the ground in spring - maybe when you're there so we could hook up? And then project in the autumn.
Cheers for promoting PWB and all. I terrible at doing that kind of stuff. But within the fortnight (hopefully) I'll have our application pack out for the next India project - that I'm going to push.

Rock on,
Matt

I'm seeking people for a Uganda orphanage circus tour for April and May... but others are telling me they will not be ready until the fall, so anyone can go when they want... I'll just give you my contacts.

Danny the Traveling Piano Man arrive back here at our house this evening from Newfoundland. We went for a walk to the beach just over the hill and had a good talk. Always interesting. I don't read any blogs since I don't have time to write my own, but Danny is very passionate about his blogging, so you may want to check that out: http://www.ragginpianoboogie.com

Danny and I worked together after hurricane Katrina, and he visited us in Roblito a couple winters ago-- playing in towns all along the way... which you can read all about and see photos in the blog.

A guy I met last night, named Will, said, "Knowing you are on your path is a very comforting feeling."

True.

I think one of the things that's lacking in the global environmental movement is a vision. We spend so much time being against things, it's not always clear what we're for." -- LESTER BROWN

I'm back home after an amazing experience in Uganda working with George and Francis at Life in Africa, and Norman at Good Samaritan Orphan and Needy School.

I brought a few thousand bucks of beads made by ladies at Life in Africa, and now have the task of selling them to raise funds for school fees, which we'll return to Life in Africa and Bunabumali. See the photo album for images of the beads and let me know which ones you want.

There has been a great response to the idea of an "Awareness Festival" in Mazatlan. Now we must form a council or working group to discuss details and step-up to take action.

Our Facebook group( http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19571155904) is set up for reaching out to the masses to draw interest, not addressing these details. Also, not everyone uses Facebook.

The intention is to make this a grassroots effort in cross-cultural community building. As circle facilitators, we want to invite people into the process, empower everyone to be heard, and find ways for us all to work together.

Goals of the festival:

CREATE ~ DEVELOP ~ FIND ~ FORM ~ MAKE

#1. Create fun and educational events for activists, business people and government to network.

#2. Develop awareness around social & environment issues through public art, presentations, and walking/biking tours.

#3. Find solutions to common problems such as waste management, water pollution, housing, and travel/passport restrictions(Mexicans leaving Mexico).

#4. Form partnerships to promote grassroots community projects(bike trails/community gardens/tool sharing), natural building methods, permaculture, and green businesses.

#5. Make Mazatlan an eco-tourism destination and even better place to live.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nearly ten years ago, I envisioned an art and adventure school based in the Mazatlan(Stone Island), and since then have developed The Roblito Community Center for Cultural Exchange( www.solomax.com/roblito.html) on the border of Sinaloa and Nayarit. This festival is an extension of that vision and cultural exchange.

Many others are also promoting adventure travel, creativity and healthy life styles, so this festival is an opportunity work together for mutual benefit and the common good of all Earth's inhabitants.

Participate in the creation of this festival by joining this Google group forum/mailing list ( http://groups.google.com/group/mazatlan-awareness-festival?hl=en ), where we'll discuss possible topics, resources, issues and event dates.

Little by little, with hearts and mind united, we will create a future that is free, healthy and beautiful.

Love,
- Cor(azon) ♥
