Smokin' Yogi Visions Team

At SMOKIN’ YOGI, we believe that true, inner passion for life becomes manifest in all outer areas of an individual’s life. SMOKIN’ YOGI benefits by encouraging all associates to create and live with passion for their art. We believe in creating work that consciously spreads healing and allows ground-breaking ideas, in both art and commerce, to surface. Among our passionate creatives are:

Julie

Julie Rappaport

President
Julie believes healing comes from knowledge and knowledge comes from stories. Stories can be told, heard, experienced, seen, sung, danced... interpreted from many perspectives and realized in different ways. Julie performs, writes, directs, produces, markets and distributes her own and others’ stories that offer healing with new knowledge, and therefore, new perspective.

Jane

Jane Barnes

Producer's Assistant
Jane is creating a documentary, "A Fearless Weapon," based on Julie's thesis of "The Healing of Suffering". Jane has 14 hours of interviews Julie made in India in 2005 to sift through. We're so excited to see what she comes up with.

Jane met Julie while door knocking in a blizzard for a human rights organization. When Julie asked why she was out in such horrid weather, Jane replied, "It's important." A year later, Jane started interning for Smokin' Yogi, and was offered a job shortly after. Jane attended MCTC for both Filmmaking and Screenwriting.
