BC DiCiacco is an Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, and (most importantly) a true consummate friend and compassionate soul, driven to be an uplifting force in the world. BC sees the world with child-like awe and amazement and always loved playing with life. A traumatic motorcycle accident nearly took his life, which enhanced this wondrous outlook on life even more. BC’s living mantra: Live each day as though it’s your last, one of these days, you will be right. BC created his own custom furniture company and ran it successfully for more than 15 years, coinciding with his establishment of Le.Ed. (Leadership Education and Entrepreneur Development) a localized focus group that helped dozens of business owners to learn leadership skills and grow their revenues. In 2015, BC felt the world calling to him, so BC closed shop, traveling to Central America with a map and backpack, seeking the source calling to him. Three months later, the entrepreneurial bug bit again, and is now the CEO, Creative Empowerment Officer, for A World Empowered, LLC, a company that seeks out and initiates projects around the world that cultivate and perpetuate the empowerment of humans. In addition, BC created TwentyTuesday, a global online community where people gather weekly for focused meditation that cultivates positivity, optimism, self-love, and a higher world vibration. BC’s credo is meant to be both a defining illustration and a guiding force that solidifies in his own heart who he is at his core and keeps him on track fighting to the death in life’s arena. This single sentence encapsulates the life that he exemplifies with every waking breath: Today I fight to be a shining example of Love, Light, Leadership, Legacy, and Lifestyle, in the lives of everyone that I meet.

Pratim is a student of life and his dream is to create an Open Source Religion that catalogs the multiple paths that lead to more joy and reduced suffering in human life. In 2017, after a failed marriage and dropping out of a top MBA program, this dream went from being merely an intellectual pursuit to a deeper engagement with the spiritual traditions from around the world in mind, body, and spirit. This is when he found Tantra, arguably an open-source religion from ancient India and its practices infused life into the words that all spiritual traditions have been pointing at. For the first time, he lifted his gaze from the map that he was staring at all along and looked at the terrifying yet enchanting terrain. Pratim has lived in consensus-based intentional communities for about a decade and is a software engineer by day. We embrace Pratim and all of his pursuits, and are so grateful he felt the call to hold space for the #WholePersonActivationSeries!
