Mutant Akademy is a worldwide grassroots collective and partnership of artistic safespaces born out of a prophetic vision on Salt Spring Island: the purpose of this collective is to offer support to misfits and non-conformists of all walks of life, as well as mislabeled homeless, addicted, abused, chemically imbalanced, troubled & gifted beings from across the planet to help them channel their artistic and supernatural abilities, teach them about self-sustainability and healthy living through poetry, music, alternative education & various workshops and empower them to go back and create change in their own communities.
The second Akademy has been active since November 2015 in Edmonton at Lumiere Creative Incubation Space, a 17 000 sq. ft. urban yoga ashram Professor X Jr. co-manages in partnership with CEASE (center to end all sexual exploitation), YDP (Young, Diverse & Proud/Youth Development Project), ADLC's "Going Global" Social & Environmental Justice youth project, Float YXE, the John Humphrey Centre for Peace & Human Rights, Amnesty International (U of A chapter) & PopUp YEG. The first artistic safespace, the Observatory, has been active in Vancouver in the South Burnaby area, in partnership with Empty Handed Warriors, RhymeThinc, RastaFarsi & Observatory Records, since the summer of 2015 during the first Canadian tour for Plan Canada's AIDS orphans. The Observatory is particularly focused on music production and has 2 recording studios. I am currently in Oceania touring & giving conferences/workshops/lectures & setting up 3 more safespaces in the next 4-6 months (till end of summer 2017), and we are also working on 2 more in New Orleans & Portland, as well as having another alternative educational facility in Kensington Market in Toronto which is partly operational, (owned by Professor X's aunt), one on Manitoulin Island in Ontario (managed by MindBodySoulHealing.ca) as well as plans for another in the coming year outside of Montreal (also already co-owned by Professor X & his mother), and eventually in as many other places across the globe as is possible. Mutant Akademy is also a collective of paranormal non-profit spoken poets from all over the globe who are all working with youth in the aforementioned ways & supporting various charities & non-profit causes in the process of their art & activism, the original founding members being Antony of Egypt/Kalki as Professor X/Legion, Harley Halo as Phoenix, Ali Dahesh as Imam Ali, Unknown Mizery as King Diamond Tut, Panzer Krishna as Soul Shinobi, Knots as Ananke, Kasseb as Baba Sage, Wax Monk as Spider Man, Jakub Evolved as himself, Arka as OG Burning Burma and DJ Billy Bishop. |
Edmonton Mutant Akademy
-Founding activist members in Edmonton are Anton Iorga aka Professor X Jr. (Legion) & Phoenix.
This Akademy is fully active as of December 2015 and is offering various holistic, artistic, yogic, poetic, esoteric, shamanic, anticolonial, spiritual & alternative medicine workshops as well as an intensive 1 month foundational Mutant Akademy course which all student mutants must eventually take, titled "Walking the Middle Path". Located in the heart of the artistic community
on 124th Street & 111th Ave, this Mutant Akademy is a 17 000+ sq. ft yoga ashram community with an indoor farmers' market
on the main floor and 50+ rooms available for artists, students, health business owners and conscious beings
who want to contribute to a holisitic community. ( www.LumiereYEG.ca )
With a recording studio, 2 yoga studios, several lounges, a workout room, a banquet room and a huge flowery back yard
with a fire pit as well as medicinal hops vines growing all around and across the building,
this Akademy can accommodate classes of up to 75 mutants at a time.
We also offer healthy organic food meals & "Earth Water" spring water for all who need them,
as well as herbal anti-psychotic/calming remedies such as organic Chamomile, Ashwaganda, Valerian Root, Passionflower,
Skullcap, Hops, Holy Basil & Lemon Balm as a natural and holistic alternative to harmful chemical pharmaceutical compounds
such as Ritalin & various commercial anti-psychotics which have been medically proven to have several horrible side effects
& are known to sedate or alienate those who take them to the point of turning them into mental zombies.
Anton Iorga, aka Professor X Jr. (Legion), is a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta's Modern Languages & Cultural Studies Department writing his thesis on “Diasporic Anticolonial Poetry as the Rebirth of Storytelling.”
He is also a French/Graffiti instructor at the university, a published translator of 2 bestselling Canadian novels
& 3 more in progress, an editor, an activist slam poet/hip-hop artist with over 50 albums published in the past 20 years,
the manager of the non-profit/activist music label Revolt Motion Records,
and a relentless activist & volunteer member of iHuman & the John Humphrey Centre for Peace & Human Rights'
“Youth Against Poverty Project” in collaboration with Edmonton's mayor & city counselors
as well as being the spokesperson & main mentor for ADLC's Going Global worldwide youth initiative,
Amnesty International, Plan Canada & many more.
Many of us in this collective have struggled in the past with all the problems Mutant Akademy is there to foster solutions for, including homelessness, addiction, chemical imbalance and abuse,
and so to us this vision is far more than a call to help out others from an outsider's perspective.
We have struggled all our lives with being mislabeled, discriminated upon, ostracized, mistreated and abused
in so many situations they cannot be counted. Mutant Akademy is thus meant to be a safespace for beings of all ages
across the world who have suffered from similar treatments and afflictions, one where these negative energies
and this suffering can be creatively and artistically transmuted into higher potential and superhuman abilities.
To contact us and come to the Akademy (anytime of the day or night as available)
please call Anton (Professor X jr./Legion) at (819) 574-7332

sovereign compassion academy (california)
The Sovereign Compassion Academy exists to empower young people in becoming leaders for a more compassionate and free world. We teach students how to find their passion and work relentlessly to achieve goals while living joyfully.
FIND AND FOLLOW YOUR PASSION
The excitement of exploring ideas that truly matter to the student is our most powerful competitive advantage.
LIVE FREELY AND HELP OTHERS
‘Freedom’ in all its forms – economic, civic, artistic and even spiritual – will be explored and developed. Our good fortune necessitates that we joyfully help others.
OUR VISION
TRAVEL THE WORLD TO LEARN
Learning is not complete without a deep desire to see all that the world has to offer. We seek lifelong memories not short term memorization.
RELENTLESSLY LIVE YOUR DEEPEST PURPOSE
Grit is the best predictor of success. Focusing and developing our deepest purpose fuels a tireless mind state and success multiplies the effort.
Salt Spring IslandFounding Activist Members & sponsors on Salt Spring Island are Jeff Grant as the Third Eye Scientist, Mya as Rennende Vann, Barry Turner as the Smiling Buddha, his daughter Ursa as Enevika Eneava and Stephanie as Luna Amora.
Coming in Spring 2017, this Akademy is the boldest initiative yet out of all of them, as it is a conscious community on 10 acres of farm land. Salt Spring Island itself is a giant quartz crystal deposit at the crossing point of 2 leylines which is said to be one of the 5 most powerful energetic centres of the Earth, adjacent to a Tibetan Buddhist temple complex at the apex of the mountain which was created after the Dalai Lama flew over Salt Spring Island and had a vision due to the powerful energy emanating that there should be a temple built on the summit. This land will have an intricate community of yurts, teepees, trailers and mud huts as well as earthships with self-sustaining energy sources and organic gardens, with the Akademy being the central hub of the community. |

Montreal
The sole Founding Member in the Montreal region is Charles Xavier's mother, Dr. ???, with whom he originally purchased this mansion on an acre of urban property unlike any other in the region, filled with thousands of varieties of trees, shrubs, flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables. Dr. ??? is a professor of dystopian literature at a nearby university, as well as a gifted naturalist and gardener who tends to the entire acreage. This property is Xavier's legacy, like the original X-Men comics Academy, and will be converted into an alternative educational facility in the coming years once there is sufficient funding to do so.
The mansion itself is nearly 3000 sq. ft, built on a giant boulder which spans half an acre, ensuring a rock solid foundation. It includes 2 living rooms, one of which is nearly 1000 sq. ft. will be converted to a gigantic art, music & meditation space, which currently includes a piano. There are also 2 guest bedrooms, one of which will be converted into a music studio, and a master bedroom that walks out to a massive flat roof balcony spanning half of the house. There is also a baby room adjacent to one of the bedrooms for new parents in temporary residence. The basement will be converted into a visual art and graffiti space with an office section, storage and laundry room. |
