Joseph Jacques, Alpha Lo and a band of young visionaries have been creating gatherings all over the nation that allow people a safe and creative space to express their truths, stories, and music. They have been filming these events in order to give voice to an emerging paradigm of sustainability, holistic health, consciousness and spirituality, community living, new science, and visionary art. By showing this film they hope to facilitate this emerging paradigm. They will then continue to film the next stage of the flowering. The movie then becomes part of the unfolding process. The movie is a forum for what is happening in the world externally, and what is happening internally inside all of us. The movie is called C.A.S.T. (Calling All Societal Truths).

*Movies that create a doorway for truth

· Stranger than Fiction
· The Truman Show
· An Inconvenient Truth
· What The Bleep Do We Know
· One Giant Leap
· The Celestine Prophecy
· The Secret



James O’Dea, President of Noetic Sciences, an organization that creates global conferences to convene pioneering activists, visionaries, and scientists says, “C.A.S.T. is a leading edge organization that asks, ‘What are the truths that we are creating together that can express global reality?’ ”

Alpha Lo confirms “We designed these gatherings to help people peel away their armor and express the deeper truths underneath.”

Joseph Jacques asks, “We want your truth. This is the greatest story ever told! This is the story of how we re-write the story and break free of all bonds.”

Come, be apart of all the parts

Arnold and Amy Mindell speak their truth!

Dear Joseph Jacques, producer of C.A.S.T.


Amy and I very much appreciate your present direction.
Wherever we go, whether we are alone on the Oregon Coast dreaming, running and doing research by ourselves, with a small class or with hundreds of people in the US or another country working in a large forum dealing with world conflicts--- we seek the truth.
For us, that word is something very special, and almost sacred. By truth we mean “deep democracy”, an encompassing feeling skill that embraces people and dreams. This term means approximately for us that each person must speak about who she is. By truth, we mean that each of us helps the other to notice and appreciate all kinds of signals. We know about, some of the messages we intend to send. But some of our messages and signals go without our awareness. We encourage one another to notice all signals and stand for them.

For example, the truth may be that one part of us is smiling, while a deep seriousness may be in the background. Both of these signals together, create the truth. And then, even if all voices, signals, and dreamlike messages have been expressed, there is something, we call the Dreaming, or with the Aboriginal Australians, the “Dreamtime”, which can not always be spoken about in words. The whole truth also needs the dreaming earth, the subtle feelings we have of being moved, our dreamlike sense of space, the songs that arise from the atmosphere.

All together, all levels, the so called consensually real level where we speak to one another about what is on our hearts and minds, the dreamland level, where we bring up hidden feelings, ideas and images, and the essence level, where we try to give form, sound and motion in art and music to the inexpressible aspects of reality belong to the truth. All these things and more, depending upon a given person’s and group’s culture, history, and orientation, create that magical truth!

So when we hear about folks like you trying to tell, dance, and sing the truth, we celebrate, we heartily welcome, we dance like kids, and move like elders.
May all winds be your/our friends.

Big Hug
from amy and arny mindell

Calling All Societal Truths


What is C.A.S.T ?

(Calling All Societal Truths)

Cast is an ongoing film production that holds space for the voices of truth in the 21st century. Its purposes, commitment, trust and outward expression is moving art within a self/culture/nature/spirit reflection. CAST is an organic, self organizing, social theater production, that asks the question (how do we define our character in the movie of our lives).

Our CAST purpose is to amplify the efforts and truths of our past, present, and future wisdoms, while listening for consensus, outward expression, storying, wounds and mutual understanding, building bridges of trust and sincerity is our commitment.

C.A.S.T is a Movie production, that discovers hidden facts and heart-felt stories. The character in this mythology is “you”! What role are you playing in life? Are you using your full potential in this story? Where is your passion? What things do you like to create? What are your values? CAST humbly retreats into nature, and gets a reply. You are a seed, you hold a truth! (answers that sow seeds for more questions to bear fruit) C.A.S.T creates a local, national as well as a world forum space for important questions to be answered.

Joseph is working with such profound individuals like, James O'Dea (The President of Noetic Sciences), Jean Houston (Social Artist), Arnold Mindell (The DEEP Democracy of Open Forums)
Hazel Henderson (Ethical Market Place). Chris Conrad (Hemp life line to the future) These Wisdom Architects, are playing major roles in the world and hold space for us to engage fully, in our rational dreaming minds & spirits.



Purpose ☼ Commitment ☼ Trust

In each of these topics, truth needs to find its purpose and stature. C.A.S.T supports this process by building heart-bridges to art, healthcare, social healing, spirituality, music, energy, behavior, food, science, dreaming, humans, animals, plants, earth, and environment. We need to speak truthfully about all of these issues, each one is vital to our value system, spirit and core nature.

There is a truth that rings out in each of these subjects that can not be ignored. It is up to us to define our values concerning each subject and the direct truth of how each of these subjects can be defined in our culture. This is one of our central goals of C.A.S.T

Joseph Jacques ( Producer) is currently off to Maui to engage with potential investors for the production. He will all so be facilitating C.A.S.T workshops, and group awareness around the principles of C.A.S.T. while on the island.

"The idea is to spread the word, while actively exploring all fund raising possibilities. I want our smart-tribe to know that their funded, and to feel welcome to play a role in this movie making process".




"We're all organic directors, producers, tomorrow makers, change agents and real life action heros, making our way and re-defining our truths in the world. What roles are we deciding to play? Can we replace the old story with a new story? Can we stop manipulating one another long enough to discover the true beauty in each peron and our enviornment? I stand in the fire of these questions, and long for reply."



In Truth,



Joseph Jacques.

Gandhi Peace Brigade joins the C.A.S.T.

"We are a society searching for our soul. Our children are lost and screaming out for help. They see our elected officials as being anything but role models. Why did George Washington admit to chopping down the cherry tree, they might ask? Was this the smart thing to do? C.A.S.T. puts us back on track. As Gandhi once said,"We must be the change we wish to see in the world." C.A.S.T. members are "holding their candles high in the wind" and being that change." Jes Richardson

Jes Richardson is a true CAST member, discovering the truth of national and local issues. Jes travels with his Gandhi puppet nation wide to increase awareness of those who need to embrace the truth of key problems that exsist in the U.S.

This photo was taken infront of Good Earth, in FairFax, Ca)


Jes, is our CAST hero of the month, a true peaceful warrior of truth. Thank you Jes, for your love of the game and insights that inspire us all.
(Jes will be joining us on Sunday the 26th. for our C.A.S.T event. Soooooooo... you can get your picture with Ghandi & Jes, and spread the word that "We must be the change we wish to see in the world"
