How "The Laughing Camel" (T.L.C. from here on out) came to be. We (Ethan and Jeff) were sitting on a dock in Mystic, Ct. on our way back from a conference (GSYP) in New Jersey. (Pretty great conference by the way).
The day was April 20,2008. (How fitting 4/20. But 420 backwards is 024). We were talking about celebrating life and wanting to help others do the same. We thought of starting a company that sells different products to inspire people to celebrate and/or Enjoy life. After having such an unbelievable inspirational weekend of feeling truly connected, we wanted to share this with others. The conversation took on many dimensions and we seek to fulfill those visions. We hope to honor the sober, the friendly, the spiritual, the genuinely healthy person and the person seeking to be there. We are strengthened by the promise that "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them" - this might be great religious scripture, but we believe it is more simply about you and us and this and it, that the greatest good of all concerned is attainable when We work together.
Seeking. Service. Celebrate.
We naturally hope to make a couple bucks so that we can continue to be inspired and travel to meet more of you on this journey. However, we do have an aggressive plan for giving back and bringing this Celebration to others via the profits of this project. Continue to stay close to www.thelaughingcamel.com and follow the progress of this outlet of service we have chosen. Our website and any future physical sites aim to provide safe and healthy arenas for seeking. Seeking: knowledge, peace, celebration, fellowship, enjoyment, growth........ whatever you are or might need to be seeking, do it here - we are and hope you want to too.
And now a word about our Co-founders......
Ethan
I'm currently in my second year of a new life and it has been the best two years of my entire adult life, not the easiest but definitely the best. From where I was two years ago even one year ago I have grown and desire to continue growing. I couldn't possibly imagine being where I am today. And couldn't have possibly been done on my own. I must give thanks and then give it away!!!!
Jeff
This is the first project I feel like I have a chance at being fully present for. For those that know me, coming up with business ideas is a regular occurrence, but with no follow through. I have been living a great life for the last eleven years, and it all do to the fact that each day I make one right choice, and because of that I have the capability to do anything. Given that I can be my own worst enemy I am so grateful that Ethan came into my life and that we co-created this project. I know that we will be a success because we are already here and you are too, and the power that you bring will help us grow exponentially. Thanks for stopping by our site.
