-Flexibly Focused Leader, Flowing-

The fire in the picture above, is from the Dream Tree. Every year in Spring, we burned thousands of dreams that were hung by pilgrims who came from around the world during summer to walk the St. James Way (El Camino).

My name is Richard Kappel, I'm from Chicago. Traveling changed my life, particularly the cultural exchange element. Now, I've found a fun and intriguing way to inspire people to participate in insightful intercultural activities and events.
My professional background in Chicago was sales & management. I loved selling, closing, and convincing. I had great mentors, I read Zigler, Hopkins & Tracy and I managed people well. But, I was not happy; I felt there was more to life.
In 2009 I left, and I traveled to India, north Africa, all over Europe and a bit of Central America. My base was small village with 29 neighbors in the mountains of Spain along the Camino. I spent spring, summer and fall, running a hostel and cultural center. I learned how to grow organic vegetables, forage from the mountains, and best of all I learned meditation. After so many amazing cultural exchanges, and travelers begging me to get MIXs in their city, I spent a couple weeks with myself, and my wife making a choice. I know what goes along with this crazy dream, it was not a spontaneous decision, but it's been made.
Oct. 9, 2018 to Dec. 20 I traveled to a few cities to get MIXs going, it went very well. Since Jan 8, I've been in Lisbon building my team and fine-tuning this service. 10 years living mostly in a small village killed my network, I need outside help.
I'm a numbers guy, the more people who see this, the better. Eventually, someone who aligns with my frequency, has vision, and necessary resources will jump on as an Angel and MIX Movement can take it's next step towards scaling.
If you want to know me more, then read the references left by my volunteers who helped at my cultural center over the last three years. Also, the people who've exchanged with me while traveling. These are the most recent and accurate insights about me as a person and a professional:
