SPECIAL GUEST: Dj A-SKI
Over the past three decades, A-Ski has become one of the most trusted musical tastemakers in the U.S. and beyond. As a Dj, producer and musicologist, he consistently raises the bar in performance and showmanship. His style, often described as “refreshing and energetic”, has earned this music aficionado a loyal following and a reputation as “the life of the party.” His eclectic selections, turntabalism and skillful approach to MC’ing, make him a triple threat to his peers. Refusing to rely on gimmicks or trends, A-Ski’s reputation is solely built on a sincere love of music, dance and atmosphere. “Improving the quality of life through sound” is his mantra, which has maintained the longevity of this Los Angeles native’s career in music. Low Key goes down every 2nd & 4th Wednesday in Culver City. Resident DJ, Ervin Arana spinning 80′s soul, 90′s r&b & feel good hip hop. Always free, always a good time at Carbon (9300 Venice Blvd).

Fast For Healing In Haiti

Fast For Healing in Haiti

There is nothing more powerful than collective hearts and minds coming together in the name of healing. Our brothers and sisters in Haiti have experienced the extreme depths of pain, loss, and suffering. Current conditions have left hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children fighting for their basic needs. Donations are essential but demonstrating solidarity in recognition of their current conditions by giving up our basic luxuries is even more powerful. Think about the amount of money we spend on a cup of coffee from Starbucks, a glass of wine at the bar, or even the time you spend watching your favorite television show. We are inviting you to participate in a “Fast for Healing in Haiti” on Sunday Jan 24 to Tuesday Jan. 26. If you plan to participate RSVP to the event.

Fast Basics

Do what works best for you within your comfort zone. Ideally, participants will do a juice fast, consisting of fresh squeezed juices. If that is too extreme, then eating only raw food (Salads, fruits) is also ideal. Most importantly, NO ALCOHOL, COFFEE, or any other vice of the sort.

Donating

We also ask that each participant donate to one of the following organizations:

Yele Haiti
Text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill) or visitwww.yele.org .

Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees
haitianwomen@aol.com. You can also contact
Sabine Blaizin @
oyasoundproductions@yahoo.com -for more information about this organization.

Doctors Without Borders

http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org

Save the Children

https://secure.savethechildren.org/01/web_e_haiti_earthquake_10

Hope for Haiti

http://www.hopeforhaiti.com/

Log In

We want to spread the word about the power of collective healing. We ask that you log on and post the word COLLECTIVE HEALING in your headline for at least one day to show that you are giving your time and energy in the name of healing.

Affirmations/Quotes/Prayers

We will post daily positive affirmations as reminders of why we have chosen to give up our basic comforts in the name of healing. We also invite you to share your thoughts, prayers and affirmations on this event wall and in your headlines.
Many thanks for recognizing your power to be a catalyst for healing. Happy fasting!

Much Peace and Love,

Unique 74
