Mission Statement:
Expect A Miracle…Now, Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life within our community through innovative programs geared towards emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and physical growth. We guide people to follow “the path of the heart”.

Facilitators:
We are facilitators of multi-dimensional, experiential workshops and seminars. Our creative seminars are designed to facilitate personal empowerment, responsibility, accountability, and self-love by helping people embrace their own mortality and purpose on earth.

Producers:
Additionally, we partner with other not-for-profit organizations committed to raising awareness through the enchantment of music. Through these concerts, we are dedicated to keeping the music and legacy of John Denver alive and in our hearts.

New Years Eve is John Denver’s birthday and Expect A Miracle…Now, Foundation has produced concerts featuring John’s former band members and colleagues celebrating his 60th through 65th birthdays. Karmen Dopslaff and Chris Nole have produced these concerts to raise money for the hungry and homeless in John’s honor and memory.

Expect A Miracle…Now, Foundation and Karmen Dopslaff have co-produced the John Denver Tribute Concerts at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen Colorado with the M.U.S.E. Foundation, Kenn Roberts and Kris O’Connor for the years 2006 – 2007, benefiting Challenge Aspen, an outdoor experience for the physically challenged.
