What happens when you hear the word buddhaful?

 
The Dendritic Process
Dendrites are branch-like extensions in the brain that are formed by synaptic firing in stimulus-rich environments. They are activated when unusual and unique information is processed or routine thought patterns are interrupted.

"Buddhaful Wear for the Body, Mind and Soul"

Buddhaful is a grass roots company. Since its birth in 1998, Buddhaful has grown as a local Seattle, Washington clothing and fashion event organization to become not just an entity for apparel retail with accounts worldwide, but a sponsor for events promoting art, fashion, music and life. Currently, Buddhaful wear can be found in Japan, UK, Hong Kong, Bali, Canada, Mexico, Switzerland, France, England, Spain, Russia, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Netherlands, Russia, Greece, Italy, Israel and all over the US.

Buddhaful only offers clothing that promises a strong, positive and conscious message while maintaining a high degree of original artistic integrity and style. The community of artists currently involved with Buddhaful span from Vancouver B.C. to San Francisco. The fashions presented by this collective are designed to energize and bring a sense of individuality AND unity to the public. Graphic artists are not the only contributors to the stylistic appeal for Buddhaful, though. Since 2002, the annual "Buddhaful Soul" compilations, full length albums featuring a host of local Seattle music groups, have been distributed along with the clothing to promote a new medium for "spreading the wealth of life" through expression in all avenues of art. Buddhaful was also a proud sponsor of the summer 2005 "Pachamama Natural High Tour," a six week traveling festival throughout France and Spain featuring Seattle based soul and funketeers "Marmalade,"comprised of members from "nu Soltribe" and "Stingshark" (who can be found on the Buddhaful Soul compilations), performance artist Mizu Desierto (Phoenix, AZ), hip-hop artist Aima (Oakland, CA), DJ Zuleikha (Nantes, France) and Les Arbres Qui Marchent (Nice, France).

Upon entering the modest heart of operations for Buddhaful, one will realize that the very people involved with helping to create and communicate the message of Buddhaful are also very involved with their community as artists; such as "Womanipura," an all female fire performance troupe, the "Oracle Gatherings," an annual festival for people of all ages to experience interactive art and live music among other positively directed activities and the aforementioned musical entity "Marmalade", just to name a few. When it comes to developing a connection and a drive to unify all people and experiences in life today all over the world, Buddhaful will continue to strive for expanded, participated and reciprocated awareness.
