The NWCU Announces its' Grand Autumnal Surprise!

The Creative Nexus is on the air!

Tuesday, October 9, 2012, NWCU, Facebook, Twitter, global - The New World Creative Union (NWCU) has announced, this date, that it is unveiling it's Grand Autumnal Surprise, which is the debut of it's new BlogTalkRadio (BTR) Show, the Creative Nexus! 

When asked about the BTR project, Natasha Head, one of the two Founder-Coordinators of the NWCU, responded by saying, "This is a great undertaking, an adventure, and one that is going to move the NWCU into a new realm of it's own."

I then asked Roger Allen Baut, the other Founder-Coordinator of the NWCU his take on all of this, and he said, "From the very beginning of the NWCU, it has been about artists, artisans, and writers, that, in itself, makes us unique! A broad spectrum of the creative field, so to say. Anyone who has thought otherwise, or that it was about a 'select' group of people, is profoundly mistaken!" 

Roger then went on to say, "I have said time and time again, and so has Natasha, that, '...if we are going to survive as a species, and prosper, it can only be done by all of us coming together to support, share and promote each other's work. If we continue to be an 'ego' driven and materialistic species, we shall surely fail!'"

Natasha, interjected, "We're looking at the BTR Creative Nexus to help us feature and talk with creatives from all areas of the various Arts, as well as from different countries. We're going to do interviews with painters, sculptures, artisans, writers, et cetera, and also going, far and beyond, into other areas of inter-related thought; there is definitely a multi-dimensional aspect to the show!"

I then asked Natasha, "So, tell me a little more about the BTR Creative Nexus show." "Well," she went on to say, "we're starting out with a two hour episode, twice a week, although we can do more, if we chose, but that depends on Roger's schedule and mine. This is really an exciting opportunity not only for the NWCU, but for artists, artisans, and writers, too.

Please join us for our premiere episode of the Creative Nexus on Thursday, October 11, 2012, at 6:00 p.m. EDT (ADT: 7:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. CDT- 4:00 MDT - 3:00 p.m. PDT).

Interview with Laurie Harris Kolp, B.S., published author, poet

Phoenix Rising: A Guide to the NWCU Phoenixes

As we are all aware, the phoenix is a mystical creature that has been a part of many civilization's mythology. Many of the stories from these different cultures speak of the phoenix as a symbol for 'rebirth,' and that it rises from the ashes of its own demise. It is also known as the fire bird in some lands.

The phoenix, that you see depicted by the NWCU, is an ancient artistic representation of a Japanese phoenix called the Hō-ō.

According to legend, originally from China, the Hō-ō appears very rarely, and then only to mark the beginning of the dawn of a new era, or the birth of a virtuous ruler. In other traditions, the Hō-ō appears only in peaceful and prosperous times, and hides itself during times of trouble and conflict. As the herald of a new age, the Hō-ō decends from heaven   to Earth, to do good deeds.

This is how the NWCU envisions its phoenix, as the herald of a new age of peace and cooperation. Where humankind works together for the betterment of all, as well as the planet. A new age is dawning as the phoenix rises. Join with us in this great adventure!

Below are the current images of the NWCU phoenix, and what each represents:
