The East End Park East Van Stories series was created to include children in the creative process and to be a connecting link between the youth in my neighborhood and the World.

The Kele Village Umbrella Project will present an 'Interactive Storytime Experience' showcasing the book ‘How Long Stalk Became a Flower’ to children. 

The Creative Storytime goal is to have children experience a visual and interactive concrete connection to the Story series. Through an interactive, visual, dress-up and adventure experience, children will help build the Rainbow Bridge of Friendship with the Hero of the series Long Stalk; becoming the Whirling Rainbow Tribe of friends found in the story characters, and the Traditional Hopi Elders message of Peace. 

The Kele Village Umbrella Project creative goals for the East End Park East Van Stories series include a Storytime Web Channel, featuring Whirling Rainbow Warrior’s friends; Medicine Animal Teachings; Mindful and Traditional knowledge sharing circles to help navigate our world; and Self-empowering interactive talks to transform negative perceptions into positive self-awareness. 

The Creative Interactive Storytime Web Channel will introduce new educational learning models based on sacred geometry and science; the integration of spiritual consciousness, awareness, and beauty for the self; the responsibility and relationship of cooperation with the natural world; networking with Indigenous elders and their communities; and sharing experiences of resiliency and transformation, all to bring the Sacred Rainbow Circle into the hearts and minds of children, so that they can grow together in love and understanding, knowing they are already whole, perfect and complete. 

The spiritual goal of the Kele Village Umbrella Project is to lead us all back to remembering our connection to Mother Earth, the sacred gift of life our mothers give us, and the sacred role of our fathers as life-protectors.

KeleVillage iNK (Integrity Nurturing Kreativity) is a philanthropic enterprise connected to the East End Park East Van Stories series. 50% of the net profit from sales of each book in the series will support the youth of Hotevilla Village, Arizona, the students of Xpéy School in Vancouver British Columbia, and the satellite communities connected to the communities of Hotevilla and Xpéy School. I have also created a working philosophy using the acrostic formula of KeleVillage iNK. (Check out Teacher's Corner)

I am forever inspired by the Traditional Hopi Elder's message of Peace and by all traditional teachings of the Original People of Mother Earth. The natural kingdoms I played in as a child, and the children I have worked with as an Educator, have nurtured and taught me the truth of beauty and the power of love. These truths and experiences inspired all five series' creative goals to help build a Rainbow Bridge of Friendship and Peace for children throughout the world.                

Finding Peace between each other begins when we share our stories of resiliency, inclusion and empowerment. Sometimes that takes courage, sometimes it takes forgiveness, and most of all it takes honesty. 

I have learned through the children I have been blessed to work, grow, and learn with, that creating a space where no shame or blame can find a root, truly allows children the safe place to transform their own lives, and express the empathy, compassion and understanding needed for peace to grow. Truly, a child lives inside each of our Hearts, and that child is dreaming to be who they are.

I believe I was given a gift to be a modern storyteller. To give children stories that will heal, empower and help them to navigate this world, so they can grow strong, beautiful and free. And with that good power they will grow into peaceful Rainbow Warriors and Dreamers, ready to transform our sacred planet for all Life.

Sharing the Message of Peace in these chaotic and transforming times begins with finding the courage to be ourselves...
