For my first post, I am proud to embed a video profile of the ever stimulating Heartbeat Collective based in Jamaica Plain. I originally shot the story for Neighbhorhood Network News, on BNN (channel 9), Boston cable. Reviewing the story, I’m reminded of the limitations in the two-minute news package. This piece just scratches the surface of what this cooperative truly stands for. I could easily take the few short interviews we recorded and re-edit the piece into a 20-minute director’s cut. To find out more about this cooperative check out their website; maybe you can figure out what the following have in common: musical spirituality, community outreach, belly dancing, fire worship and Peruvian throat singing. Be sure to get on their mailing list as well, which provides more detailed information than you’ll find on their website. It will let you know about upcoming yoga classes, full moon gatherings, musical performances, retreats to Costa Rica, and upcoming workshops.
