Our New RV Arrives!...

Hurray! We just received a new RV! Thanks to two generous donors, we have the beginnings of our new mobile Audio/Video studio! Our Hearts Of Fire Project’s beautiful 1993 Fleetwood Flair arrived today, 27 feet of two-tone blue possibility! Not only is it in great shape, but it came with plenty of gas and a new registration. Our mission – empowering people through musical self-expression – just reached the...
New Video!! Art Empowerment At Work

New Video!! Art Empowerment At Work...

I am so happy that we finally got this video edited and posted here. A lot of people have been asking when they could see it, so here it is! We all had a wonderful time Solutions For Change in Vista, CA. Although the participants have been through some hard times, you wouldn’t know it from the smiles and laughter that rang through the air that day. <Click on this picture to watch video As usual, the children...

Where We Have Been, Where We Are Going

Where We Have Been, Where We Are Going...

Well In The Desert Workshop It has been quite awhile since I have posted anything on this site. Mostly, it is because we have been using our Face Book page instead. It reaches more people and is easier to use both for me and for our audience. At some point, we will probably create a new web site, something more modern and user friendly. But for now, this is what we have. Excuses aside, I am here to bring you up to date...
Academia Learns About Vehicle Dwellers

Academia Learns About Vehicle Dwellers...

I am both happy and sad to report that academia has discovered vehicle dwellers. Researchers at Seattle University recently published the first ever study of people living in vehicles. The study focused on the anthropological aspects of vehicle dwelling in the Seattle metro area and was published last year. This interview with the study’s lead researcher and homeless activist Mark Hovarth is very interesting and...

Living In Vehicles

Living In Vehicles...

Home On Wheels As you may know, there are probably over a million people living in vehicles in the U.S. right now. From what I have seen, most of these people, including me, would be homeless if not for their vehicle. As others have said, people living in vehicles are often harassed by law enforcement even though they have done nothing wrong. To me it makes no sense to ticket and tow away the only home a person has and...
The Homeless Occupation

The Homeless Occupation...

In many ways, 2011 has been a challenging and tumultuous year for all of us. It has especially been so for me and the Hearts Of Fire Project. The year began with the end of my marriage and the first art show from our 2010 World Homeless Day Tour. Since then, I have been building the base for the project and extending my circle of friends and supporters. I am someone who has always been curious about most everything....
The End Of Fear Tour Is About To Begin!

The End Of Fear Tour Is About To Begin!...

We had a great event Sunday in Ojai. Not everyone was there, but the right people were. You inspired us too! We even had an End Of Fear sing along at the end. Wow, it sounded like a 100 voices were singing! We are leaving on September 30 from our home base in Ojai, CA. We expect to arrive at our destination by October 4, a few days before the occupation begins on October 6. We will be communicating our journey and experiences...
