Mind Key's inaugural book, The Mind Key Project: An Anthology, debuted in June of 2015, introducing art and writing to inspire and encourage passion and zest for life (pictured above.)
Yin and Yang: The Duality of Balance (at left) explores both the light and the dark sides of the human experience and how the two are needed to define one another. Photography, art, poetry and prose combine to illustrate the experience of light and darkness, encouraging the reader to explore their own personal dichotomy. The cover image is a feature of Kevin Dyer, a professional fine artist who pioneered the medium of paper casting over his 40 year career in the publishing industry.

The below contributors will be speaking this evening at the Kinnelon Library, and reading pieces from the books:
• West Milford resident and practitioner of traditional and alternative medicine MD, Kevin Hall, whose essays on love, fate, and growing through the darkest moments speak about his experiences in traditional medicine and how he began training in and utilizing alternative and energetic practices to heal others.
• Gene Myers, an editor and columnist at the Suburban Trends who is passionate about music, poetry, and how they work together as a whole.
• Special needs educator at Chancellor Academy in Pompton Plains, Tara Ann Lesko, has contributed to the Mind Key anthologies in several ways. She is a poet and is also writing a memoir about healing and the role food has played in her life. She will share some of her stories of challenges and breaking the mold of what is considered "normal."
• Kely Luzio-Cardona, photographer and owner of West Milford’s “That’s It! Art Studio,” specializing in art and crafts to open creativity finds beauty in everything and helps others discover the creativity in themselves and in the special moments of life.
• West Milford tarot card reader, Sarah Loukos, is a professional at Scanlan Funeral Home in Pompton Plains, and relies on art and nature to bring her grounding and peace.
• Professional dream interpreter and radio personality, Jefferson Harman, knew he had special abilities as a child and eventually overcame fear and judgement to share his talents for a living.
• And me, Mind Key founder and health and life journalist, Danielle Rose. I am a mother and writer who believes in faeries and the magic in the everyday. I will talk about my young adult novel, Chimera, which is being readied for publication. Writing the novel had a large part in the healing and rediscovering of myself. Chimera also played a large role in the the creation of Mind Key. I'll share my belief in never having to work in a job I hate, or dedicate any portion of my day or life to a project that doesn't resonate.
Also contributing are West Milford’s award-winning conceptual photographer, Elisabeth Ladwig and Sugarloaf resident and jeweler, Rachel Bertoni of Bertoni Gallery. The Mind Key Project does much work online and in the community and are preparing two new anthologies for release in 2016. We encourage other writers and artists in the community to join us and share their passion by submitting work to our next anthology.
