Eric Narayan Waldman
Eric Narayan Waldman is a Senior Mentor in the MTG of the Dances of Universal Peace and a member of the Ruhaniat Society as well as founder of the Oneness Project, a Dance organization which promotes and enhances communities of people who “eat, dance and pray together.” Narayan’s style ranges from the sublime to the outrageous, but is always effective and inspiring. He has facilitated many events throughout the world including New Zealand, Alaska, Mexico, Guatemala, Italy and Russia, around themes as varied as “Surrendering to the One Within” to “On Being Streaky People”. (The Sunday school teacher asked, “If Good people are blue and Bad people are red what color would you be? Little Mary said, “Reverend, I’d be streaky!”) Engaging, humorous and charismatic, Narayan carries the joy of singing and dancing in praise of the Present, reminding anyone who’s listening that it’s useless to be anywhere else.

In addition to being a good arts partner in Fort Wayne, FWDC is a nonprofit organization and tries to be a good partner to the nonprofit sector, arts organizations and social service orgs alike. To that end, I am a member of NeXtGen Fort Wayne, a discussion and networking group for young professionals in the nonprofit sector. It’s a lot of fun, and I get to hang out with really cool people, like Andrew Hoffman from NeighborLink, Jennifer Renner from CANI, and Lettie Haver from the Nonprofit Resource Center, among others.
I know that a lot of people we serve at FWDC are nonprofit professionals, or just parties interested in nonprofit service. I figured although this doesn’t specifically relate to dance, the FWDC blog might be a good opportunity to share this with you.
I’m excited about the discussion NeXtGen Digest is having this month —We’re meeting with Monica Freeman, the Vision Coordinator for the Northeast Indiana Fund, a foundation supporting the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership and its mission. She will be talking to us about the massive project they are undertaking — creating a community vision plan for Fort Wayne and the region. As a nonprofit professional, I feel that I need to be part of this, as my organization has a responsibility to serve those in the community. As a young person, in my late-20s, I feel a responsibility personally because I will likely one day inherit this community, and want to be part of shaping it.
Check out the NeXtGen blog for more information about the event, and email me if you want to be part of the discussion. I hope you can make it!
