How to Organize Have Fun Do Good Flash Mobs with Gabriela Masala, a Big Vision Podcast Interview

"We don't necessarily expect to go to the farmers' market to get our vegetables and have someone beaming a big smile and offering us a hug. These things break the trance of the culture, and I love that.  It feels like that's a way in which the arts can be visionary, be change agents, and also be really fun and playful, which is primary to living." - Gabriela Masala

This month's Big Vision Podcast guest is Gabriela Masala talking about how to organize have fun do good flash mobs. Gabriela is the Founder of the One Love Alliance. The One Love Alliance creates visionary arts community flash mob events that are both transformative and entertaining, and that are fueled by the values of unity, playfulness, creativity and love.

She is the creator of the Inner Wealth Deck, and is a choreographer, dancer, intuitive consultant, retreat leader, and mom. She's also the wife of Kenya Masala, whose song, "Mango Delight," I use for the Big Vision Podcast's intro and outro.
