Let's Change the World with Zaadz
by Kelly Cookson

Zaadz.com, an online community, is an apotheosis of a spiritually empowering community — great potential for every perspective from New Age to classic TreeHuggin’ and from Neo-Pagan to Christian; this online community is charged with the empowerment of arête (a Greek word that means, in short, “living to your Highest Potential”).

In December of 2005, I was exploring and happened across Zaadz.com; I knew from the moment I read the Home Page that I had found a place where I could take my spiritual being and authentically bloom —I found a fertile garden for my “zaad”. Let me tell you the difference that this community has made for me so far:
I have...
... met with a very inspiring and purpose-driven Life Coach.
... met a powerful and sage bodyworker. ... attended a movie premiere for Peaceful Warrior in Los Angeles.
... purchased art from a spiritually conscious artist.
... supported two or three members in their causes for various cancer research fund-raisers.
... started recording a podcast called Divinations.
... found a network of extraordinary people who are living their dreams or taking steps to discover them
... and willing to share their steps of progress with others to show IT CAN BE DONE!
... shared life experiences with other members and been supportive to their emotional needs
... making connections that I feel will last a life time. I’ve found close, spiritual FRIENDS. ... become a stronger, more Purpose-Focused spiritual being. I have found who I am meant to be.

“All this from joining an online community? C’mon, you can’t be serious?!”

Oh, but I am. Imagine what it would be like to be surrounded by positive people who want you to be the very best at whatever you are meant to be. With so much support and loving energy, it is almost impossible NOT to achieve a higher state of purpose and focus... of being. Living authentically and having a network of people who challenge you to refine your perspectives is not always a euphoric carpet ride. Don’t get me wrong; you still have to workHARD to achieve that highest potential. What’s “nice” is knowing that no matter what happens, you’ve got a community behind you, supporting you with every positive wish, prayer, and empowering thought. It is not impossible to see your dreams or ideas being manifested here; the networking connections, alone, can give you the ultimate in resources to see your dreams become a reality with a little bit of hard work and a few connections.

For the first time in my internet-life, I’ve found a community that resonates with open-minded perspectives; it’s not about “hooking up” for a date or the latest gossip about so-n-so. This is a community with an intentional purpose: making the world a better place; pushing towards every person’s highest potential. From empowering the creative artists to supporting local causes, this community is growing, fully intent on being a noticeable and influential change! With mentors like John Mackey of Whole Foods and Ken Wilber of Integral Naked and various other spiritual and entrepreneurial leaders, Zaadz.com members are inspired to take on the most challenging situations together, filled with faith, and believing they CAN “be the change we wish to see in the world.”

Currently in beta mode, Zaadz works hard to meet the needs of its blooming community. At this stage, individual members are an integral part of what is making this community strong;the input and participation with Zaadz.com is creating an exponentially growing internet community that is becoming the most positive and powerful tool for those who are now looking towards Conscious Capitalism, Spiritual Self-Development, Green Living, and are working towards the Greater Good for All Involved.

I am MsCapriKell, an Ambassador of Zaadz, and I am inviting you to experience this community, Zaadz.com!
