This project was built due to a series of moments and dreams I experienced in the last past few years. Why am I bringing this project to life?
This project started as a result of moments and dreams I experienced in the past few years. During this time, I was on a destructive path in my life, feeling depressed and lost at times. I realized this issue and started to work on myself to get my full life back. As I started to work on my own healing process, I experience several moments, had some dreams and saw the vision of this project as a p
art of my healing process. My vision for this place is to create an interactive space, where everyone is invited to open up and talk about anything they wish. I will invite people to talk about what stops us from being the beautiful human beings we all are and to talk about what problems seem to hold us back or what situations can stop us from succeeding on our own lives. I am very lucky to have been able to see what my future would be like, if I had continue down the same destructive path. My half brother just killed himself a few weeks ago, not everyone is as lucky as I am to be able to see the path they're on and change their future. I want to do something for those who need to realize what path are they on. There were a few signs I saw along the way, which I believe were meant to wake me up. I want this place to be a sign for someone who is ready to see it and make a change. A sign that inspires deep thinking about a situation in one's life. I know small moments can make a difference in someone's life. Some of these moments happened to me at Burning Man the last few years. My vision for this art piece and the world is to help and empower people, by creating love and freedom, so we can be and express ourselves from the beautiful inner child we all are. The History of the Name:
We often keep pain inside ourselves, and hold it over long periods time or even forever. We can all heal from this pain by creating a new opportunities for ourselves, so we can experience freedom again. I believe freedom is a choice, an opportunity we choose to experience every time we wake up every morning. We know we can't ignore pain or problems, but we get to choose how to deal with them. We get to create an opportunity every day at any given moment. We get to create our own growth, happiness, and spirituality. We get to live our life in any way we choose to. This is and it has always been our choice and our freedom. I chose to built this space and this is my freedom. Please donate by going to the site below:

Do you want to know more about the moments and the dreams, which inspired me to create this art piece?
* During Burning Man 2015, I saw an art piece called the Library of Babel. In this library, I read some books filled with very dark secrets, painful events and defeats. I realized some people was letting go of some of this pain by writing. This internal pain was probably keeping them away from being who they once were and had scared their life forever. I saw here how some people hold the pain for many years.
* One afternoon at Burning Man, I saw 3 older men sitting behind a table with a sign that said “free advice”. I remember thinking about talking to these men because I was going thru a difficult time in my life and I needed that free advice. I wanted to ask for advice so badly, but fear took over. I had some problems and I was falling fast into a depression and not realizing it. I was very frustrated, sad, and feeling alone at the same time. All of this, because I didn't wanted to open up to anyone and face my issues. Rather, I tried to ignore them and numb these thoughts any way I could. On this very same afternoon, I realized, it had been a full year, since the library art structure, and there I was, still shackled by my baggage, and unable to move on and be myself.
* In the summer of 2016, I had a very vivid dream. The dream was so strong, I thought I had to change my carrier to serve others and find mining in life. I started the search but now I see, I just really wanted to help others some how.
* In the same summer of 2016, one of my employees fell from a roof of a building and at 20 ft of hight he definitely could’ve died. When I visited him at the hospital the day he fell, I saw him in a lot of pain and my heart broke. Again, I wanted to help some how others and do something about it.
* During Burning Man 2016 I had an amazing connection with a girl and she told me, I was a healer and I needed to start helping others. Those words stayed with me for a long time. During this Burning Man for the first time, I thought of doing some type of art project. I had no idea what or for what reason yet.
* On the first week of March 2017, I went to Los Angeles for a 5 day life training course with a group of experts who I was hoping would help me to deal with my baggage. By the second day, I had faced all my fears and to my surprise, all problems had the same root. I also experienced other peoples’ pain and I saw again, I was not the only one keeping things inside for years. I also realized I was not the only one looking for different ways to heal myself and transform to a more positive and happy life.
* The last week of March 2017, another employee had an incident at work. This time was a female employee and mother of 2 children. She was experiencing a severe anxiety attack, but at that moment she thought she was a having a hart attack. She was afraid of leaving her two children forever and loosing her life as well. This was difficult to watch and stressful. I didn't know what to do to make her feel better at this moment, but somehow together we managed until the ambulance arrived and she received professional attention. Looking back, this was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I was able to be there for someone, at the right place and at the right time. I describe this as experiencing Freedom.
* On March 30th around 4 or 5 am, I woke up from another dream and this was the strongest of my callings and this is what I remember from my dream:
I was doing an inspection of a construction project with a tall man in his mid 50s. The man was wearing glasses and we were arguing about something. I said to the man:
“I can’t work like this with you, and I have already inspected the job with your wife”. The scenario of the dream changed and now we have moved to the back of a house. This house was all white, with tall white walls and a white chimney. The argument between the man and I started intensify at this point. We sat on a white bench, and he said to me:
“If you really want to know why I can’t do this, it’s because I have lost my wife and my daughters”. Yelling out loud he said:
“This is my new life, and I’m just living it”. He started to cry profoundly and without any control of his emotions. The old man kept crying, but as I move to hug him, I felt how he had started to heal his own pain that he was suffering from.
