LK:  What about the Power of Words Conference upcoming at Goddard College motivates you to help get the word out about it (why is it important to you).

NH:  It’s a great conference because it really embraces all the creativity.  It’s about applying creativity through the spoken word in writing and song for the greater good and it’s really about supporting and transforming the community through the arts.  I suppose this is very similar to the days of Shakespeare and how communities gathered together to teach, learn and transform through the arts.

LK:  How do you want to apply your creativity?
 

NH:  By stepping out of my own way and letting it serve for the deeper Universal purpose. I want to be someone who can use my gift—let God use my gift– to be a healing force.  I think it’s about getting your ego out of the way and getting your fame gone.  Which I think is the whole key to being able to go deep into the heart of your creativity and its purpose.

I loved what Leonard Cohen said, “You’re not the star of the play. You never were”. It’s God/source (whatever you want to call it) a bigger play for the greater good.

LK: How do you think the Power of Words Conference dovetails with all the hoopla about the Indigo beings coming into the planet now with special gifts for humanity?
 

NH:  The Power of Words Conference dovetails even beyond Indigo.  I believe it is all about giving life to creativity and that everyone (including non-Indigos) is coming back to that now and that is why we’re recognizing more of these souls because we’re becoming more integrity bound people. We are asking questions about where we are in our lives.  It’s about acceptance. Once we accept where we are in our lives, then we can transform other people.

My kids are very Indigo and with that kind of attribute-they’ll have to be welcomed in our society and fame is not the welcome. Fame is more like the veil we have to go through to get to the heart of the creativity. It keeps you in the world. I think the path for most of us is to raise the consciousness of everyone to a higher level through what we’re doing

I believe the Power of Words Conference is focused on raising consciousness through the arts. Many attendees are already doing this in their own communities.
