Contact: Joy Johnston . genie@omniocademy.com
A full season of the Omni Ocademy’s motivational 11:11 daily podcast is now available in print, hitting shelves on June 21, 2024 with both an anthology and accompanying journal-style workbook.
Building on the podcast's signature tagline “whimsical ways to make life wonderful with small actions that lead to grand rewards," A Season of Progress offers an actionable exploration of self-discovery through weekly themes and daily topics ranging from procrastination and perfectionism to community and compassion to rebirth and renewal.
Each chapter culminates in a captivating interview with an inspirational figure who embodies the weekly theme's central message. This takes the anthology beyond motivation, enabling it to function as a practical guide to personal growth. The workbook companion goes even further with prompts, reflective questions, and action steps.
A Season of Progress is the perfect resource for anyone seeking to:
Discover practical tools for greater peace and confidence
Take small steps daily that lead to long-term growth
Embrace a more positive and fulfilled life
Connect with a diverse community of uplifting individuals
Learn from inspiring experts and trailblazers
Mark your calendars for our launch on June 21 at 11:11 and get ready to embark on a 90-day transformative journey with the authors and thought leaders showcased in A Season of Progress.
Press Release — Unusual arts nonprofit engages in offbeat do-goodery
Quirky Nonprofit Makes Philanthropy Irresistible
A Silly Approach Makes for Serious Success
MAY 28, 2024
Fairy Godmother Certification (mentor training), Fabled Creature & Endangered Monster Rescue (animal aid), Biblioperatives (covert library groupies supporters). These are the kinds of benevolent programs offered by Whimsicalitea, a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit run by the Academy of Omniosophical Arts & Sciences. The arts organization is enriching lives through innovative activities designed to nurture creativity and inspire artistic expression with an emphasis on lifelong learning and connection.
The philanthropy’s flagship program is Shared Treasure Hunt, a pirate-themed activity whereby kids follow a treasure map to put together back-to-school backpacks for their less fortunate peers.
Founding Director Joy Johnston describes the eccentric group’s current status this way:
“Our focus in 2024 is getting kids excited about books through our Reading Revolution program. Created for parents with children ages 4-17, the comprehensive series offers an interactive and immersive approach to reading and learning. Additionally, along with our parent company, over the last two years we have given more than $80K in discreet financial assistance to creative individuals to help them prosper in their endeavors. We look forward to doing much more.”
Since January of this year, Whimsicalitea has been hosting a thriving weekly Kids Club at a family success center in New Jersey. Online, the organization’s new Whimbassadors Play & Plunder program enables supporters to do daily deeds on behalf of the charity while earning rewards, all by means of a playful advent calendar.
