What a weekend! The SCWC/c3 writers' conference was an amazing success. And what a wonderful synergy of creative, visionary, passionate and talented people -- all aspiring to help transform and change the world through story, media, music and art!

Panelists such as the president of IONS, James O'Dea, Participant Productions’ Chris Adams, actor/director LeVar Burton, KPFK radio show host Lisa Garr, and keynote speakers such as Mark Vicente writer and director of WHAT THE BLEEP, the prolific and talented author/writer Greg Rucka, "Celestine Prophecy's" author/screenwriter James Redfield, and many more, all contributed their time and energy to help make the conference an inspirational, visionary and informative event. Representatives of (it) magazine, The Harmony Channel, and the Writer's Store all contributed their time and efforts to bring purpose, information, fun and entertainment to the weekend, and of course, all the workshop leaders and volunteers, who so beautifully added their energy and wisdom, made the event just spectacular. And -- an additional thank-you to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, ETHOS WATER, SCR(I)PT MAGAZINE, LA YOGA MAGAZINE, and the INSTITUTE OF NOETIC SCIENCES for their contributions of publications or goods as gifts to the event participants.

One of c3's primary missions is to bring consciousness experts and organizations together with artists, media makers and content creators in order to create dialogue and synergy towards the creation of more transformational art and media. The 2005 LA SCWC/c3 conference stands as a tremendous reflection of that mission and we look forward to continuing to add more events like this to our upcoming endeavors...

"The conference was a gathering of creative spirits exploring how science, consciousness and spirituality are more than fashionable themes to work with, they may spur a deeper cultural shift and collective transformation than we suspect. There was a sense  that our imagination may contain the mythic and narrative power to draw the human story to its next evolutionary level and so there was a charge and an air of magnified purpose ...one in which the artist and writer begins to understand just how important their work is in the scale of things.  Such gatherings remind us our tribe is growing and that the best stories are just about to come your way!"
