In this talk, Damien Balderrama challenges the age-old notion that “knowledge is power.” Instead, knowledge is merely potential power, and needs to be plugged into action in order to power our lives. Damien Balderrama is an aspiring speaker, author, life coach and love entrepreneur. He has invested the better part of the last decade studying human behavior and psychology, consciousness and spirituality and healing modalities from around the world. He is passionate about holistically integrating the wisdom he has learned into useful mind, body & spirit practices, to reunite others with their authentic power and guide them into the unique mission for their lives. Damien is currently building the root system for this movement, which he calls Lucid Lighthouse. The cornerstones for Lucid Lighthouse are Education, Entertainment and an Endowment. Education through coaching, workshops and information technologies, Entertainment reinforces the education through music, film/video and publishing. These two endeavors will afford the endowment or philanthropy work, in literacy, elderly and youth services and changing the negative perception of mental illness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
