AT WORK

AT WORK WITH THE CO-CREATORS IN MY LIFE I FIND DEEP ROOTS OF PURPOSE, A STRONG STEM OF HEART CENTERED EXPERIENCE, AND A BRIGHT FLOWERED CROWN OF HEALING THAT BY NECESSITY FACES THE SUN.

  • ChezSpirit is “at the home of" a spirit of Hope, Heart & Healing. It is a vision that centers wellness and balance by honoring our contributions as diverse people navigating unique and complex challenges.

    Our purpose is to elevate the art of “space shifting”, which is to enrich social, artistic and learning spaces in-person and virtually, through a spectrum of expressions. This includes the Five Meaningful Practices: Meeting, Music, Movement, Media and Mindfulness.

    ChezSpirit is an inspirational concept created out of survival and a will to live for life partners Chezale Rodriguez & Wade Antonio Colwell. Chezale and Wade are navigating a journey of recovery following surviving a traumatic automobile accident on September 3, 2023, resulting in Chezale enduring a life-altering spinal cord injury. Shortly thereafter, the name ChezSpirit was imagined to represent the indomitable spirit, relentless joy and perseverance of Chezale. Together through this formidable challenge, Chezale & Wade are compelled to share meaningful and artistic experiences with their beloved community.

GUIDING VISION

Kórima is a cultural concept and community philosophy from my indigenous Rarámuri heritage that literally translated means “circle of sharing.”

The foundational idea is that we are all in a position to offer our gifts, our resources, our time and our energy in service to the collective. As a practice Kórima shows up as 1) a willingness and choice to be empowered with others rather having power over others and 2) operating from the motivation of what we can each give rather than what we can get. Encouragement is the action of giving support, promoting confidence and expressing hope.

Encouraging kórima, as my guiding vision, represents a devotion to being in stewardship to all my relations and overcoming fear as a barrier to social progress. My personal and professional experiences with people across all generations have shown me the human potential and impact that have expanded my spirit to embody this uplifting worldview.
