“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom” -Viktor Frankl
“I am interested in that space, that Viktor Frankl referred to;
I am interested in collaborating to make that space available and safe for all; I believe is in that space within, that infinite possibilities converge.
It is in that space within, that we get to expand awareness, ignite our individual and collective abilities to respond, and engage our creativity to choose always and in all ways, prosperity and sustainability for ourselves and those around us,
I believe that artists are our best point of reference, to courageously unleash our creativity, integrity, and authenticity, venturing outside of the boundaries of life as we know it, and making it a dynamic space where we are whole and from where we flow in service”-Claudia Flores
