- Wideski?
- Wideski, yeah.
- Wideski.
- You got it.
- After learning the word,
I live in a pretty high
entropy level. (Vanessa laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Mark Parsons here with
Remax and the Tri City Buzz
where we strive to connect the community
through the stories of
the people who serve them.
And today I'm here with
Vanessa Wideski of Low Entropy,
a local non-profit organization.
First, Vanessa, I just want to start off,
if you could explain to
everybody what low entropy means.
I know when we first met,
that was something I wasn't aware of
until you explained it.
So maybe explain that to the viewers.
- Yeah, absolutely.
So, entropy just means the
measurement of disorder.
Something that is very disorderly
and chaotic has high entropy.
And something that works really well,
is efficient, has low entropy.
So we're looking to lower the entropy
of our social system.
- Okay, absolutely.
And what does Low Entropy hope to achieve
in the community or with
the people that it serves?
- Yeah, well what we do
is we facilitate different support groups
and programs that help people
to connect with themselves and also
to connect with each
other in the community.
So, lowering their entropy
on an individual level,
as well as on a community level.
- Absolutely.
Myself, as I was saying to you before,
after learning the word,
I live in a pretty high entropy level.
- (laughs) Yeah.
- And what started you on this path?
- What started me on this journey was--
- Journey. (chuckles)
- Yeah, just a lot of self introspection.
I'd always been really curious
about learning about my mission,
my purpose, and trying to have a sense
of direction in life.
And when I moved out to this area,
the Tri Cities, I started a group
and thought I might attract other people
that were also kind of soul-searching
and looking for answers
to life's big questions.
And then it began with
conscious connections
about two and a half years ago.
- Excellent, and under your services,
I notice that you have a
program, Success for Teens.
I wanted to give you the opportunity
to break that down a little more,
and as well any other
services that you do offer.
- Sure. Yeah.
So Success for Teens is a
youth program that we have.
We know that the youth
are our future generation.
- Yep.
- So we're looking to really
make a positive impact
with our youth to help them, support them,
provide them, with a safe space
where they can form deep,
meaningful connections.
Not only with themself,
but with their peers, with each other.
And so it's just personal
development skills
to help them go to the next level.
- Yeah, and I think that
could be some huge value
for adolescents, for sure.
- Absolutely.
- And before we go, while
we have the audience
in front of us, is there anything
that you'd like to say
that we haven't covered?
- Yeah, we are a new
non-profit organization
and we are going to be launching
our first fundraiser this summer,
so that's July 28th and
it'll be in Vancouver.
It'll be a really fun, all-day event.
We're bringing in a NASA physicist,
and consciousness
researcher, Tom Campbell.
- Cool.
- And, yeah, he'll be guiding us
through a lot of evidential, experiential,
different remote viewing
and healing techniques
and he'll be available for
question and answer that day.
- Excellent, well--
- Yeah.
- Make sure before that, as that starts
to approach you get back in contact.
We'll see how we can help promote it.
Other than that, lastly,
how can people connect with you
if they want to reach out?
- Yeah, they can check
us out at our website,
which is lowentropy.ca.
- Perfect. Excellent.
Thanks for taking the time.
- Thank you, Mark.
