Leaders Causing Leaders: Matthew and Terces Engelhart

Happy Saturday SuperForest!

Today I want to share with you the founders, dreamers, and creators of Café Gratitude, Matthew and Terces Engelhart! These visionaries have changed the lives of many, including mine. If you haven’t heard of Café Gratitude you might recognise the name from SuperForester Jason’s “Make it Mine.

In short, Café Gratitude is a learning centre in the guise of a vegan and raw food restaurant. Café Gratitude is there to make their costumers, employees, and partners feel acknowledged, loved, and cared for. Matthew and Terces are amazing human beings, playing on the highest of stages. They are out to change paradigms. They are building a community based on love and acknowledgement, and their practices have huge affects on the people around them.

To get an example of their affects check out the film “May I Be Frank.” Here is a link to Jackson talking about the premiering of this very film back in March of this year! I cannot recommend this movie enough!

Here is a quick intro for Matthew and Terces:

If you want game changers on the largest of playing fields, look no further. Matthew and Terces are the real deal. Listen close SuperForest, there is much to learn.

Leaders Causing Leaders: SuperForester Jason

SuperForest!

It only seems right after sharing Luc & the Lovingtons, and reminding you about their “Freedom Song” again, that I share with you one of their biggest supporters, SuperForester Jason. The man really needs no introduction here, as many of you, including myself, found SuperForest through Freshness Fact Five Thousand, as SuperForester Heather’s post demonstrated. So, without further ado, Leaders Causing Leaders presents…

Let that talk soak in for a bit. As always Jason refreshes our minds, and allows us to float on his words. Thank you Jason for being such a light and guide for so many. Sending love your way.

Cheers,

SuperForester Mathew

Leaders Causing Leaders: SuperForesters Luc & the Lovingtons

Heyo SuperForest!

Today I wanted to share a musical treat from Leaders Causing Leaders with you! You may remember Luc & the Lovingtons from an interview SuperForest got with them not too long back. (Check it out here!) Luc is the writer of my favourite song, “Freedom Song,” which is now the anthem of Free the Slaves, and heavily featured on SuperForest (like here and here!)

There are so many amazing things about these guys that I was just ubber excited to be seeing them live. It was a great experience, and I hope you enjoy the short video I recorded of them! I wish I had gotten more, but I was busy just enjoying their music and being with friends.

OH! Be sure to check out Luc’s dance moves, he’s got some goodies!

More LCL videos coming soon!

Much love SuperForest & HAPPY WEEKEND,

Mathew

Leaders Causing Leaders: Rich and Yvonne Dutra-St. John Present Challenge Day

Gooooooddd Morrnninnggg SuperForest!

Round two of Leaders Causing Leaders. If you missed the first part, click here!

Today I am going to present to you two extremely inspirational people. Meet Rich and Yvonne Dutra-St. John.

This two lovely people are the founders of Challenge Day, an organisation that works with youth to bring out love and humanity. They go into high schools and colleges throughout the United States to show children just how similar we really all are. On top of that they now have a TV show on MTV that you may have heard of called “If You Really Knew Me.” These two are the real deal. They are changing the world in the most fantastic of ways. I have their talk in three parts, so please take the time to sit down and enjoy. The first video is an intro to Challenge Day when they were on Oprah. It is very emotional, so you might want to sit with some tissues.

After their talk we, as an audience, participated in a mine Challenge Day. They stated groups, and requested that we stand if we thought we fit in that group. I do not have video from that, but their video series is available on youtube, and here is the same activity we did. It brought me to tears participating, and watching.

These guys are for real. They reach out and touch your soul. If you at all interested in getting involved with these amazing people head of to their website by clicking here, or contacting me, and I will get you in touch with the right people. To close this post I am going to practice something that Yvonne and Rich taught me, and a follow up to SuperForester Heather’s wonderful post yesterday.

If I really knew you what would I know?

If you feel inclined please feel free to share in the comments section, if not that is great too! At the very least think about what you would say. Either way it is superbly powerful. Maybe give the question a think and share with someone in the room. Go out and ask you friends, you will be surprised by what you don’t know.

Lots o’ love SuperForest,

Mathew

Leaders Causing Leaders: The Opening

Heeeelllllloooooo SuperForest!

YES! The time has come for me to divulge all the goodies that I have been blessed with in the past two days! Get ready for films galore! I would first like to acknowledge all of the speakers, workshop leaders, panel participants, and attendees for making Leaders Causing Leaders come to life. It was truly amazing, thank you all. Now I’d like to throw a special thanks to Erin Ross & Maura Hoffman for co-producing the entire event. I’d especially like to thank Erin for she is a leader and person of huge inspiration. (SuperForester, you will be hearing a lot more about this woman later on!) And now a very special, special thanks to the man you are about to watch open up the conference, Kenneth Schwenker. He is the producer, but more importantly the visionary who dreamt Leaders Causing Leaders, and then had the drive to make it a reality. Thank you Kenneth so much, all at SuperForest are extremely grateful for you contribution.

This following video features Kenneth, but also Joseph Jacques a founder of Harmonic Humanity. This is the organisation is responsible for giving homeless CDs for $1, for the CDs to be then sold for $10. His mission and dream are amazing. Also to be seen is David Rose, founder of the Unified Field Corporation, the same organisation I have talked about before. And so now…here it goes…let it begin…

The following speaker is the one and only Mark Victor Hansen! I have captured his speech in whole, and I hope you do sincerely enjoy it. It is amazing and incredible! It is on the longer side, but hugely worth it! To give some background information, Mark is responsible for the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series. His talk shares idea on how to make a rich and worthy life through business, while attaining fullness of heart and soul. Enjoy!

Spectacular, no? Keep your eyes open SuperForest! More videos to be coming soon!!

Much love,

Mathew

Leaders Causing Leaders: Leadershift 2010

Hello SuperForest!

Next week there is going to be a huge gathering of awesome cats from around the globe sharing their experiences at the communal table. The event itself is the LEADERShift 2010 conference presented by Leaders Causing Leaders! The whole idea behind it is to have leaders share their experiences, and then to learn about tools we can use to go out and lead. Each of us are leaders already, and the conference will help some realise their current potential, or give others grand new ideas to implement in their own workplace, home, website, etc. As it says on the website itself the conference’s goal is:

To Awaken the Leader Within.

Leadership is a defining characteristic of any generation. Where it is created, innovation and change become real possibilities.

We’re assembling leaders and visionaries, creating exhilarating panels from technology to social entrepreneurship to spirituality, arranging and hosting seminars and workshops with some of the great teachers of our time and celebrating this experience together with a  Saturday evening conscious music festival.

Now does that not sound awesome or what!? Workshops will be held throughout both days to expand yourself and learn.

So when is all of this exactly?

November 6th & 7th (a Saturday and Sunday, with the concert Saturday night)

Where?

The Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA

Here is a list of a few of the amazing speakers who are going to be attending just to get you excited too!

The SPEED of Trust author Stephen M. R. Covey

Author of bestselling A Long Way Gone, Ishmael Baeh

Cafe Gratitude/Sacred Commerce founders Matthew & Terces Engelhart

Third generation yogi and master-teacher of Humanology and Kundalini yoga and meditation, Guru Singh

AND SuperForest favourite Jason Mraz will be there, sharing his love and music as always.

Need more of a reason to go? I myself will be there, and I would love the chance to meet any SuperForesters out there! I will be volunteering for the whole conference, and I am super amped up about the whole thing! So be sure to check it out, and make your way down! I really hope to see a few of you Saturday and Sunday of November 6th & 7th!

And for any of you SuperForesters who live in the L.A. region of California I am going to ask a favour of all of you! Below is a poster for the event, and we want to get the news about this conference out there! Could you all copy and print the flyer (using recycled paper if you can of course!), and then post around your neighbourhoods or offices? *Click on the image below for the full sized version!* If you can do that then I will send a BIG thank you your way! Everyone organising the conference will be super grateful!
