FIRST KaLIGHToscope Art Camp!

by Spirit Wind, posted in 2026 donations, donate, humanity shines, kalightoscope art camp, Love, nonprofit

It was the perfect day on Saturday, May 30, 2026, to have our first KaLIGHToscope Art Camp at Broken Hand Meadows. We had a wonderful group of people and, as you can see, the paint literally flowed into some incredible works of art – a creativity explosion!

The activities included printing the artist’s design on a t-shirt or sweatshirt, hotdogs on the grill, a campfire, lawn games and conversations about individual dreams, and Humanity Shines!

Our next camp is June 6 at 11 AM, for kids and adults. Sign up is required at: https://lnkd.in/gH_bTNME

Join the fun, meet great people, create your own design, and come away with your art on a shirt! It is a fantastic experience!

Only Love,
Shawna & Jane

Words Always Inspire!

Embrace the World with Love Words and the World will be Changed…

Once I understood these words, they began to bless my heart. I became aware of an intense purpose, that everything I write, every book, every screenplay, every poem should emanate these words.

First, and foremost, I began to know that Sacajawea’s story was really a story about love. That the Lewis and Clark Expedition was the backdrop for this very spiritual being who found herself on a journey with purpose. She carried her baby on her back and cared for him, she found wild vegetables when there was no meat because she cared for the men, she wore red vermillion on her face to tell other tribes they come in peace, to keep everyone alive. That is true love.

And as the screenplay goes, she had a great purpose given to her by her uncle, to reach the Great Water with her prayers. Not just prayers for her child and her people, but prayers for all people of the earth.

The experience of writing that story opened a place my heart for the Moon Drake Series. Every episode helps us see we must love one another, we must share our Indigenous wisdom together, and we must protect and care for the earth.

The Sacajawea experience also showed me how racism and anger will destroy the peace. And through that, the Kimama’s Wings screenplay came to life. An adopted 8-year-old African American girl is hurt by the words of her racist grandfather. But she decides to love him anyway and inspires his healing through the transformation of the butterfly.

And the book, Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon, and subsequent movie, is a lesson in strength-of-character, faith, determination and the understanding that we should never allow someone else to write the chapters of our lives. And that we should always be true to ourselves.

It is our greatest joy to bring these stories and many more to the world through Humanity Shines Organization, a 501c3 nonprofit company and the KaLIGHToscope Art Camp. We intend to ignite those love words, with “love action” to help lift people worldwide, through storytelling.

The Spirit of Creator is Within Us

by Spirit Wind, posted in 2026 donations, humanity shines, kalightoscope art camp, Moon Drake Earth Heroes, Sacajawea

There’s a place in a meadow in Western Washington where creativity and imagination are alive. It is a beautiful peaceful property of five acres that we purchased in gratitude. We felt the spiritual energy and knew it had a powerful purpose. At the moment, it is only a vision – but a clear vision, a faith-driven idea based on belief… And the energy, the vibration, the dynamic mission is ignited and breathing.

What started over 26 years ago, as an enormous and seemingly impossible film project about Sacajawea, has evolved into something beyond our wildest dreams. Since this story is Native American, it is our deepest intent to support the Indigenous people of America, so we asked ourselves. “Could we produce this epic film partially through a non-profit? Could we provide an internship program to teach young filmmakers?”

And then the mystery began to unfold, actually it exploded, and our hearts were filled with the joy of a new purpose that aligned so perfectly with what spirit had given us and was showing us every day. We began to think outside the box…

Soon Humanity Shines Organization was formed, and other film projects became a part of the vision, even an anime series for children, and then we could see beyond to something even greater – a dynamic and very exciting program called KaLIGHToscope Art Camp where children and adults could learn to tell their stories through screenwriting, poetry, acting, painting, musical lyrics, and many more ways. https://kalightoscope.art/storytelling/

Though we don’t have all the answers for the “how,” we have the blueprint, the spiritual sight to see it and the faith and belief to know it is coming. We invite you to take a look at the Humanity Shines website, and all the programs and exciting things that are just ready to burst open. We invite you to be a part of this grand and glorious endeavor. If you are led to donate to the cause, your donations are greatly appreciated through the QR code or the red button at the top of this blog page.

We are the Light we seek… for we have the Spirit of Creator within us.

Only Love,
Jane

What could be more moving, more worthy, more fulfilling than getting to love someone? I cannot imagine a greater purpose in life…

We invite you, friends, family, sisters and brothers, to join us by shining your love on humanity through programs, education, scholarships, movies, and books. We want to touch the world with the powerful message of loving one another and loving the earth.

In this challenging time there are so many people in need of even basic essentials, and we are committed to meeting the needs of people in our community and also in other places around the world. In 2025, we have had a difficult time acquiring donations to reach our annual funding plan. Though we have tried to do what we could, it is our hope that 2026 will open the doors wider and we will be able to feed and clothe more people and also provide for the creative opportunities that lift the human spirit.

If you are able to help us begin our 2026 donation cycle now, please click the red button above (2026 Programs & Projects). We have developed some additional programs this year and organized future events, looking to next year in faith. We are so very grateful for any contributions you can make. Your prayers, your responses, your ideas, and your energy ignite our quest.

Love is always the answer… For we are the light we seek!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

First Annual Humanity Shines Charity Bazaar!

On August 10 & 11, 2024 we held our first annual Charity Bazaar in our local community!! It turned out to be beautiful weather and a very fun weekend with lots of music, games, vendors, activities and food!!

The incredible Jukebox Duo, Kristy and Dave Lindemuth, played 50s/60s music nearly all day long on Saturday. We loved hearing the familiar tunes! I think everyone kept time to the beat, especially Fawn Destiny Grepo who blessed us with her impromptu and amazing hoop dance!

Much of our focus for the event was on our master plan, to build an administration facility on the property as we gear up to launch some amazing projects. On Saturday, we actually held our first class for the KaLIGHToscope Art Camp. Our Board Secretary and rock shop owner, Shawna Fitzpatrick-Harris taught jewelry-making to some very creative students. It was just the beginning of the courses we will offer for this program for children and adults (see more information HERE). Among other activities, we had face-painting by tattoo artist Faith Halseth, for brave individuals!

We have been operating Humanity Shines Organization for almost one year and it has truly blossomed into a powerful energy with so much potential ahead! We had some much-appreciated donations from our event. If you are reading this and want to be a part of our endeavor, please take a look at our PROJECTS and consider giving a donation by clicking the top red button on this page. Thank you so very much.

Sacajawea shares her powerful adventure!

by Spirit Wind, posted in Children's Book, humanity shines, Sacagawea, Sacajawea, Sakakawea, The Grass Maiden Sacajawea, Warrior Woman
The Grass Maiden, Sacajawea is part of Humanity Shines’ Leaves on the Wind literary program.

Hundreds of years ago, I ran and played games just like you. I swam in the calm rivers and danced and sang with my friends. I was warm in my tipi and slept on a thick bed of furs. I ate meat and wild vegetables, even though sometimes I was hungry. I was Agai’dika Shoshone, and I loved my world. But then one day the Great Spirit guided me to an incredible adventure…

This wonderful “Keepsake Storybook” has a message for YOU! Many of us have heard about Sacajawea but most do not know what she experienced and learned on her Journey of Discovery in 1805. In The Grass Maiden, Sacajawea, we see how this twelve-year-old girl was unshaken in her spirit. Her life was hard, and she had many heartaches and disappointments. She had to change with the circumstances, and she had to rely on the traditions and ceremony of her Shoshone people. She was not afraid to listen to her intuition and follow her heart. Sacajawea was a little girl from 1800 who became a woman to remember through the Ages.

“Delightful and necessary. I loved diving in Sacajawea’s childhood in this story aimed at revealing a few aspects of her life to young readers. I was particularly sensitive to the delicate way in which Jane L. Fitzpatrick managed to tell a difficult story with elegance. Her telling of Sacaj/gawea’s first life events shows a profound respect and love for this woman who made History and whom History remembers. May children of the world emulate this young Native woman’s strength while they enjoy a story of courage, beautifully told.”

– N. Bleser, Amazon Review

New Inspirational Story for Young People

by Spirit Wind, posted in Awakening, Children's Book, crabtree lost kids of borealonon, humanity shines, Love
Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon is part of Humanity Shines’ Leaves on the Wind literary program.

Life teaches us many things and we are challenged to share what we learn with others. It is not always an easy task, not always rewarding in the ways we hope, and it can take sacrifice. But it is always fulfilling to our spirit because it is what drives our life’s purpose.

I started writing the structure of Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon in 1987. I was taking a focused children’s literature class and one of our assignments was to create a fantasy/adventure story. As a mother of three young children at that time, I also wanted to incorporate deeper lessons into the storyline.

Twenty years later I found my story in a box and thought I could expand it into something greater. It has evolved through my own experiences and now it has become the first book in the fantasy/mystery/adventure Crabtree series.

At this time, I am developing and writing a screenplay based on the first book, and to my humble delight, the film will be directed by Martin Manuel Nuza! Martin was such an encouragement to me after he read the manuscript. He already had ideas about the film! Here is his initial response to the story:

“Crabtree is a truly great adventure book that is a perfect escape not only for children of all ages but also for adults, as this story has so many layers of adventure, emotions, mystery and legends it was hard to put it down. A book highly recommended for everyone. Well done Jane L. Fitzpatrick for such a beautiful story.”

A Heart’s Awakening

by Spirit Wind, posted in Awakening, humanity shines, Love, True Purpose, Warrior Woman

AWAKENING IS PART OF HUMANITY SHINES’ LEAVES ON THE WIND LITERARY PROGRAM.

“Fitzpatrick’s deep reverence for the natural world shines through her poetic tapestry, as she beautifully weaves the elements of nature into her verses. From the gentle whisper of the wind to the radiant glow of the sun, she invites us to witness beauty in every aspect of creation.”

~ Awakening review by “Books that Make You…”

Creator, God, Energy, Vibration, the Magnificent Imagination of the Universe, In, Around and Through all things, all Powerful, all Knowing… all of this is working in mysterious ways. This Infinite Force cannot be fully defined through labels, for it cannot be kept in a box. It cannot be limited or discerned in the mind, nor can it be judged by human standards. In Truth it can only be shared through love, compassion, and faith with Spiritual joy over-flowing and pouring out. These mysterious ways are unlimited and unstoppable. We must open our eyes and ears, our hearts and souls, we must get out-of-the-way and be ready to receive, even those things we do not understand.

Fear not.

In 2013-15 I was in California trying to get my Sacajawea, The Windcatcher screenplay produced into a film. It was a daunting task and one that is still ongoing. And during those two years I felt so alone. Yet there were things I had to realize and lessons I had to learn – for my heart was being cleansed. It was painful. I didn’t understand everything. I felt that what I believed all my life was being turned up-side-down, and sometimes I felt I was being turned inside-out. Yet in the end, I would come to know that nothing was being thrown away, it was actually being ignited to a deeper place.

The words of this book “Awakening” were part of that journey. Nearly every night I was awakened at 3 AM with words on my heart that were bursting out. I wrote those words on the back of the pages of my Sacajawea script. Eventually they formed the pages of this book, coupled with photos taken along the path.

I believe this book was written by a Spiritual Wind that had moved me to go to California, giving me an adventurous spirit to search out Truth. I discovered that I wasn’t there to make a movie, not yet, for there was a far greater purpose. One of the poems defined the essence of what I found to be true for me. It’s called “True Purpose” through which I realized we make everything so complicated in this world, we get confused and sidetracked, and we try to figure it all out based on things that are unreliable. We forget that the mysterious ways of the Universe are at work for us, and that we can trust our own heart to awaken.

The book is on Amazon or autographed copies can be purchased at http://www.spiritwind.shop in the “Nonprofits and Causes” collection! 100% net sales go to the Humanity Shines Organization and their Leaves on the Wind literary program.
