Happy 2/22! Where we jumpstart a revolution in consciousness  

The miracles you can do are limitless, simultaneous and legion.”—A Course in Miracles

I have never in my life gotten so many daily hugs!

Craig Foster, the South African filmmaker who won an academy award for My Octopus Teacher, welcomes friends, colleagues, even first-timers to his beloved Cape Town with a hearty “Welcome home!”

That’s because all of us, in one way or another, can trace our lineage back to Africa’s San people. All of humanity originated from these magnificent peoples who were able to survive and spread out across the planet thanks to their deep connection with nature.

Although dormant in most of us today, this inherent ability, this knowing still exists within each of our souls.

Yet, when the Taz Grout 222 Foundation decided this year’s grant would be used to support LoveLights Ubuntu Camps in Riviersonderend, original home of our wildly-tuned in ancestors, we had no idea how much it would radically change our lives. Well, except for Taz, my cosmic board president, who undoubtedly had it planned all along. As I often say, having a daughter with such a broad and vast perspective is a real perk.

The mission of the Taz Grout 222 Foundation is nothing less than to transform the consciousness of the world. Until we change the way we perceive the world, until we update the things we value, humanity will continue to focus on an insignificant material reality, one that teaches us to buy products, worry about our appearance, distrust our neighbors and perceive ourselves as separate individuals competing for resources.

These exuberant kids taught me way more than I could ever teach them.

As the Course in Miracles repeatedly says, everything we moderns now perceive as fact is an artificial reality that ignores our true nature.  

The Taz Grout 222 Foundation believes we don’t have to live in that distorted world anymore.

We don’t seek to change things per se (that, my friends, is counterproductive and only creates resistance), but to celebrate a more nourishing way of life, a grander possibility. We intend that our new vision will be SO compelling, SO alluring that people CAN’T WAIT to jump on board.  

Every year on 2/22, we pick a project or individual to support that is already celebrating a higher truth, that is already rejoicing in our inherent wholeness, intelligence and beauty.

I could go on and on about our time in South Africa. We played, we sang, we danced, we loved. But I think the following pictures say it best:

Ubuntu is a word that means I am because we are. At the camps we hosted more than 100 kids from 4 to 18.
We tromped around the river and the mountains where the San practiced their ancient wisdom.
We decorated rocks, collected from the river, to spread messages of hope.
This is Robin Goff, the powerful miracle worker who started LoveLights 20 some years ago as an offshoot of the Light Center, her 95-acre healing retreat in Baldwin, Kansas. I am so lucky to be her neighbor, friend and cohort in spiritual mischief.

In addition to LoveLights and the Riviersonderend Ubuntu Camps, we are also funding a five-acre home for the wonderful Yacouba Maiga who for 20 years has been changing stereotypes and empowering women in rural Mali.

Congratulations and Happy 222 Forever to all!

  1. I absolutely love this and it came at the perfect time for me. I’ve opened my mind to infinite possibilities and just like magic, things are happening for me. I just published my memoir about my brother with Down syndrome. And I’m getting an interviewed regarding my message of hope and forgiveness.

  2. Happy 222 Forever Day! In am effort to “celebrate a more nourishing way of life” I’d love to invite everyone to collaborate on a positivity music movement project- the idea is that by using music and dance we can get out of our heads, into our hearts and raise our vibration. How much more powerful to have music from like-minded souls in all walks of life- please, add the songs that light you up, raise the vibration and unleashes the magic that follows when the groove is in the heart. Dedicated to all the light workers in this world- let’s boogie! Thanks for being such an inspiration, Pam!
