The Creative Nexus™ News

Saturday, May 9, 2015

Metro Detroit, Michigan (Global) - Spring has sprung and as the seasons have changed, so too has The Creative Nexus™. 

Lots of fresh, new ideas have blossomed from the originators of The Creative Nexus Café™ and Blue Sky Highway™.

• The New World Creative Union (NWCU)™ continues with a full complement of 250 members. Look for some new features to come along as we move further into 2015.

• The Nexus Café and core team: Matthew Hatt, Susie Clevenger, Natasha Head, and Roger Allen Baut return live on Sunday, May 24th, at 2:00 p.m. EST. Format for the popular show remains the same.

Creative Nexus Café™

• Music Intro
• Opening: Greetings and information
from co- hosts/producers Natasha, Susie,
Matthew, and Roger

• Shout Outs

• A View from the café’s window: Roger

• Something to Consider: Natasha

• Summation/convo

• Closing

...with a bit of spoken word, and music, sprinkled about here and there for good measure.

• The Blue Sky Highway(BSH) is in the process of updating and refining its design and program. The new format will have a 'theme' with no interruptions during the episode. 

As always the BSH is 'not' about the 'host' or 'producer,' but about the artists comprising the show.

• Look for more updates as the BSH approaches its Season 2, episode 1 launch date.

The Creative Nexus™ News

 Sunday, April 5, 2015 

Metro-Detroit, Michigan (Global) - The first part of this year has turned out to be very busy, with all sorts of activity, ideas and promotion going on.

Highlights:

• The New World Creative Union (NWCU) continues with a full complement of 250 members. As I am sure you are aware the premise of the NWCU is for artists to present their laudable creative work, share it with others, and to share each other's laudable endeavors, in return; look for some new features to come along as we move further into 2015.

We welcome back the co-founder of the NWCU, Natasha Head who is resuming her previous responsibilities with the NWCU, Nexus Cafe, The Creative Nexus, blog, et cetera.

We also welcome back (by popular demand) the Nexus Cafe and core team: Matthew Hatt, Susie Clevenger, and Natasha Head. The Nexus Cafe will return shortly after the Season 2 opener of the Blue Sky Highway (BSH), which is in Phase 2 (composing the show) at the moment. Speaking of the BSH, our good friend, Adrian Hallam continues on as  Music Consultant for the Blue Sky Highway.

Stay tuned for further news and adventures of  the The Creative Nexus.

The Blue Sky Highway™ Ep. 01

The Blue Sky Highway™ for 22.08.13

Pilot Episode:

Thursday, August 22, 2013, 7:00 p.m. ET
(AT: 8:00 p.m. - CT: 6:00 p.m. - MT: 5:00 p.m. - PT: 4:00 p.m.)

Blue Sky Highway

This link will take you to the BTR player,
here you may access the show when started,
or for the On-Demand/Archived episode.

Welcome to the Blue Sky Highway, a concept that has emerged from the popular internet radio program, The Creative Nexus Café (or Nexus Café), on blogtalkradio.

Many people have asked, "How is the Blue Sky Highway, different from that of the café?" The answer to that is, "The Blue Sky Highway has a more relaxed, laid-back, and contemplative aspect about it, and is conducive to enhancing one's creativity, awareness, and inner-sight."

It is very much like going out on a pleasurable drive, tuning in to a favorite radio station, sitting back, and enjoying the ambiance of the moment. 

In these special moments of relaxation, one may be more open, and receptive, to the positive elements contained within verse, music, and vibration of sound.

"Throughout history, the power of sound has been recognized, celebrated, and investigated. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras, who developed the basic principles of mathematics and astronomy, was also one of the earliest investigators of the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of sound," Thomas Ashley-Farrand, author of Healing Mantras.

This IS the Blue Sky Highway...

Appreciation is extended to all of the aforementioned artists who have shared their work with the Blue Sky Highway, so it may, in turn, be shared with our audience. 

The main premise of The Creative Nexus is to encourage the sharing and promoting of each other's creative work, for the benefit of all.

"If we are to survive, and progress as a species, and have a healthy biosphere to live in, it can only be achieved, by all of us, working together for the 'mutual' benefit of each other, all humankind, and the planet," Roger Allen Baut.

Look for the return of the Nexus Café,
with Natasha Lynn Head and Roger Allen Baut
around the Autumnal Equinox!

Please take a moment to like, share, comment, Google +1,
and to share and promote the wonderful creative efforts
of those artists who have appeared on the show! Thank you!
