MJ Masters The Universe

MJ Masters is sixteen and struggling to make sense of who she and how she fits in a world where her conservative father votes against her very health and wellbeing.

The stress in her family tears her apart to the point of trying to end her life.

Things start to turn around when a friend introduces her to mindfulness through camp at a Zen Buddhist monastery. Maybe there is a way to live a life of simple joys with an open, peaceful heart? And maybe, if enough people could find the courage to live that way we could keep the country and the world from descending into complete madness?

​

In this video series, MJ walks us through a series of paintings from her art journal. Watch as each illustration comes to life on her digital canvas, and listen as she tells her story of survival in her own words. Maybe her story will inspire you to share your own in ways that promote peace.
