The Love Speaks Community


Hello Everybody!

My name is Jackson Nash and I'm an artist and educator living in NYC.
I was just listening to "Make You Crazy", and I am feeling very inspired by it right now.

My partner, Bee Ladd, and I are in the midst of starting Eco-Tech School, a Summer program for inner-city, Special Ed kids. Here's the site: www.ecotechschool.org

As you can imagine, there is a lot of work that goes into starting a school, and applying for non-profit status, and forming a partnership, and starting a company, and getting lawyers involved, and signing contracts, designing a curriculum, logos, websites.

Quite frankly, it's enough to make you go crazy!

So, I've had this wonderful tune on repeat all day, and it's taken a lot of my tension away. It helps to put things in perspective. No lives are at stake in what I'm doing, nothing will explode, no animals will be harmed. I'm just trying with a friend to start a school.

So, thank you, Brett for the merciful moments of sanity and clarity that your song has allowed me.

Much love,

Jackson Nash

What a fantastic organization. Kids need those very special "something in between" places to go to when school's out. And reaching our special needs as well is a wonderful thing to do.Keep up the good work

If you ever get a chance to let us (Pledging for Change Community Interest Company'non-profit org)help you raise funds please check out http://www.pledgingforchange.org.
Maybe I can find a volunteer who will adopt your organization and promote the program on with you so you get a flying start.

What a great resource Brett Dennen's music is for the Elementary Classroom. Positive lyrics of peace and good living inspire great conversations and interpretive responses in writing, dance, music, and conversation.
