personal freedom and finding solutions to problems.
Inner Vision Design SynnKune and Dawn apply Feng Shui
principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine to improve home and
office environments. Weekend workshops, personal and business
consultations are available.
Molecular Language SynnKune decoded the Chinese written
language into molecular form and formulated new interpretations of the
origin of the Chinese Culture. The molecular language concept found
its way into his paintings and resulted in an unique expression of
visionary art.
Sacred Site Exploration:
A. The Luminerias The Luminerias are seven crater lakes
which mirror the formation of the Big Dipper. For the past
seven years, SynnKune and Dawn had taken groups to explore the
Luminerias in Guanajuato, Mexico. Their story and the lives of
the people involed will be the subject of an upcoming book.

Malinalco, Tula, Tepozteco, El Tajin, Tsin Tsun Tsan, Palenque,
Chitchenitza, Tulum, Ek Balam, Uxmal, Dzibutchaltun .....
Peace Installation. It is based on the idea that peace is not
an outcome in an unknown future but an imperative to practice in the
now. Peace Installation is interactive earth art placed in communities
to help people to find personal inner peace and also link their
intention to world peace. Peace installation No.1 is in
Grass Valley, California. No.2 is in the Children Museum
of Jalisco in Guadalajara. SynnKune's vision is to build twelve
Peace Installations around the world.
In May, 2002, SynnKune and Dawn received an initiation from the Sivananda
