Welcome to the Warriors of Light 719 Community Events and Engagement page.

Here we will be posting and discussing our community events. The purpose of our events is to inspire, plan, uplift, give training, and unite the community. It is together, with an understanding of who we are, that we will be able to Co-Create a peaceful, loving, and joyful world for all.
Nov 1 Community Gathering
At this event, we gathered together to learn Shaolin breath work, have some good food, and discuss the Great Awakening. This was a very fun event where we began to develop relationships.
​
Special thanks to Steve Woods who allowed us to use the Concrete Couch to hold our event. The Concrete Couch is truly an example of what community means.
​
Special thanks to the members of HopeCos who were able to make an appearance. HopeCos is a great organization that is on the front lines of helping the homeless with supplies, food, warming shelters, and love.
​
Special thanks to Shanti who runs the Earth Church under the pavilion at the Manitou Memorial Park every Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This truly is a spiritual community of love.
More to come!
Food For Everyone Project
Welcome, all, to the Warriors of Light " Food for Everyone Project." We believe the first step in solving the major water issue is to focus on soil quality and change current agricultural methods to regenerative agriculture. To transform current practices, we seek to incentivize self-sustainability, Self- reliance, self-healing, and community unity within each state, starting at the city level.
However, we see that multiple issues are tied together and can be solved. In this project, we also seek to address problems in areas of physical health, mental health, emotional health, Soul development, Homelessness, community building, and community unity. We're currently working on a 3-stage plan that can be subject to change as progress is developed.
Stage 1- we have worked closely with other organizations within the area, who have developed surveys and evidence of food insecurities in the region. Working with organizations we are able to map out the mental health, environmental, physical, and emotional concerns and struggles within the Pikes' peak region. We plan on using these surveys, research, and data as leverage to push for policies that incentivized positive behavior, local and community gardening, physical and spiritual development, and individual creativity.
​
Stage 2- We use our Brotherhood of Self Mastery project to spread information and gain support as we help young men gain self-mastery. With the completion of this project, we hope to gain volunteers, make partnerships, start official memberships, and incorporate strategic planning within the community for future movements.
As we develop studies in feng shui, sacred geometry, and bio geometry, we will partner up with local churches and religious entities to create a healing space for the homeless population. We want to create a space that gives the homeless a safe place to go and provides people with everything needed to transition out of the state of survival. An area focused on people working together to uplift one another and provide valuable service in personalized ways. We seek to create leadership, developed skills, and focus on individuals' physical, mental, and emotional health. We will create massive food production stations and new ways of giving back to all communities.
​
​
Stage 3- We believe the current local farmers are an incredible asset and wish to use them as an example for others to follow. We seek to incentives our local farmers to be the tested leaders that show how regenerative agriculture can work in the Colorado region. We seek to get with the local farmers, work out every detail needed for the transition to regenerative agriculture, and implement/ test / readjust until the desired outcome can be reached. Once reached will we start using all new systems of new food production to establish free markets that distribute food as well as distributing to local food pantries.
​
As we work on our plan, we will hold community meets for ideas, talents, visions, and support. We know there needs to be a change to our current system, and ask anyone who wishes to contribute to join us and help make this project a victory for Everyone.
​
Together We Stand; Divided We Fall!
Never give up, Never Surrender!
We will make this world beautiful for everyone!
