Dreamers, Believers, NOMADs,
In case you don't already know me, I'm Jason Rodi: father, artist, filmmaker, and the wizard at NOMADlife.tv (don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain!). It's with great excitement that I launch our blog today, around a theme that is the very essence of the NOMAD Life, what I call The Way of the NOMAD: Follow Your Bliss - Live Your Myth. I will use this blog space to do just that, in my own way.
The Power of Storytelling
Storytelling is our oldest tradition, a way to understand our world and our place within it. In the nomadic cultures of the desert, the circle is sacred—their tents, their gatherings around the fire, all circle around sharing tales. This is the inspiration behind the open circle and the flame in our NOMAD logo, symbolizing that stories guide us, like a compass, toward purpose, beauty, and truth. These stories become tools of idealization, visualization, and manifestation, allowing us to script our lives and inhabit our dream roles, NOW.
The Way of the NOMAD - follow your bliss, live your myth
Here at NOMAD, this idea brought forth by Joseph Campbell, 'live your myth' transcends the motto - it embodies our very ethos. It's about seizing the narrative you yearn to unfold, shattering the shackles of convention, and sculpting a reality that vibrates in harmony with your most profound essence, your truest dreams. Follow your bliss, let it lead the way.
The Work - Productions:
NOMAD is more than a company or a brand. Being NOMAD means belonging to an idea, a movement. NOMAD represents movement, freedom, and boundless possibilities. Our productions, be they films, events, or immersive experiences, aren't just projects; they're the weaving of personal legends, shaping reality with the power of imagination.
The Building - Our Studio :
How could a stationary place be NOMAD? The answer lies inside. Our studio is alive, ever-changing, a place where storytellers, entrepreneurs, and artists converge, sharing tales and dreams just as explorers once did around ancient fires. It's a place where imagination is sparked not only by language and environment, but by the very energy of collaboration and creation.
The color bars on the facade symbolize that the building itself is a big television screen. Inside, you are behind the screen, inside the movie.
NOMAD is a haven, a safe space, a sanctuary for creativity, where the only limits are those of our imagination. Here, your personal myth can manifest into reality, through the lens of a camera, the stroke of a brush, or the echo of an unforgettable gathering.
Owning this space is a commitment to freedom and creativity. It's a vibrant hub where ideas are nurtured, projects come to life, and dreams are shared. This studio is more than a building; it's a safe harbor for creativity, a place entirely our own, shielded from the uncertainties of the world outside. Here at NOMAD, we're crafting a home for the artist in each of us.
The People - Coworking :
Transitioning from Moment Factory to NOMAD allowed me to redefine my relationship with coworkers, from employees to true collaborators. At NOMAD, our coworking space isn't just about sharing a physical location; it's about being part of a dynamic ecosystem where everyone's personal myth contributes to a rich, collaborative narrative.
ANTENNAE and NOMADslow.tv
Through ANTENNAE, our neo-psychedelic immersive experience, we delve into the art of collective storytelling. This ritual intertwines improvised live music and silhouetted movement, weaving together a vibrant tapestry of creative expression. All recorded and filmed for NOMADslow.tv, it's more than an event; it's a transcendent playground, a space where imagination takes flight, contributing to the live content that defines our unique broadcast.
NOMADslow.tv, a stream of consciousness, is our endless flow of visual poetry that offers a glimpse into an idealized world, a serene vision of Heaven on Earth. This channel is accessible across all major streaming platforms—ROKU, FireTV, AppleTV, AndroidTV, and more—bringing the essence of NOMAD directly to you. With our always-live broadcast, we provide a backdrop of calm and inspiration, transforming any screen into a window to the tranquil and creative world of NOMAD, whether at home or in the office.
An Invitation to You
Living your myth is about actively shaping your dreams into reality, making each day a scene from your own epic saga. If you feel we can help you fulfill your vision, I invite you to join us at NOMAD, either as a coworker or simply renting the studio for a shoot or an event, to find your place in this ever-unfolding story we're crafting together. No matter what (NOMAD or what), follow your bliss wherever it leads you, live your myth and share it with the world if you can!
ALL WE HAVE IS NOW Love & Bliss,
Jason Rodi
