about
Slushbox® founders/partners Sharon Giarratano and Mark Wheeler are giving an alternative to the holiday frenzy with a simple message that is environmentally conscious, and empowering to humanity. As creative processes mentors and speakers/presenters of empowerment concerts, these creators of the original rock theatre, “Find Your Own Steeple” are driven by a desire to uplift and raise consciousness.

The winter is by Nature a time to slow down, and go within, yet there is a strong push towards consumerism, over-consumption, busyness and business.
Along with the excessive black Friday promotions and related marketing, how interesting that “clutter busting” is becoming a hobby, with closets and garages stuffed.
What about all the many humans on the streets (but not out on the town) or in the woods (but not actually camping for recreation). Giarratano and Wheeler are disheartened by the extreme polarities of people being overstuffed, in contrast to the many who are withering away with nothing. These creators have pondered about how to experience this holiday season with sanity and compassion.
Asthma in many children and unusual illnesses among adults are seen as the normal state of being in many cities; and the torching of rain forests, plus the deregulation of toxic waste; all these things are adding to the need to do things differently.
Giarratano and Wheeler feel called to experience a new kind of giving.
What if just one action could be a gift to the world?
(And millions of dollars are not required.).
Be open to simple and powerful actions that can bring about a mighty healing, so we can simply experience the natural slowing down of the season.

lyrics
Imagine what could be.
Thriving-through-these-days easily
Everyone singin’, and breathing in a Peaceful feelin’
This holiday season,
or just for any good reason
Let’s give up the frenzy.
and give a gift to the world
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world
All the children know that its time to grow
Get us all back to the Nature we used to know
This seasons gonna be a breeze
‘cause there’s only one thing on our list
It’s The universal breath
of photosynthesis
Just dig a little hole and put that plant right in
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world,
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world,
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world,
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world,
Let’s all plant a tree to give a gift to this world
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world,
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world,
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world,
Plant a tree and give a gift to the world.
