Jean Paul Benlolo
CREATOR + CO-FOUNDER
Carpenter by trade, Reiki II Practitioner, and World Traveler - JP aims to guide others to push past their fears and redefine their experiences. To become the hero of their story and break through old programming, and illusions of separateness. He believes that through conscious practices, art, and community; we can heal ourselves, heal the planet, and create a New World.
Together, they realized their growing desire for community. They contemplated leaving their hometown and living the “Van Life” in search of community elsewhere... But after traveling to Costa Rica for Envision Festival in 2020 - everything changed. Lockdowns around the country served them as a sign to lay roots back home, and be the light they wished to see in others. They opened their home in the midst of chaos and created a safe space for others to unfold, expand, and connect.
In December of 2020, Sophia and JP traveled to Colombia to officially launch Kids Aid Worldwide. A Nonprofit, Mission Based Organization originally focused on bringing aid to Venezuelan children and families. After seeing the living conditions of many cultures, they decided to gear their project around all children and families around the world. Together, they believe that everyone has a key role to play on this planet. May we remember to look within and love one another.
