Jason Mraz Hosts Harmonic Humanity Benefit Celebration

This video is a full-length highlight of an unforgettable night hosted by Jason Mraz in celebration of Harmonic Humanity. The evening was filled with magic from start to finish, featuring live performances from Ace of Cups, Luc & the Lovingtons, and a powerful solo set by Jason himself — including a few never-before-heard songs.

The event brought together incredible collaborators such as The Goodness Tour, Lava Mae, and the Homeless Prenatal Program, all united in a shared mission to uplift and empower the homeless community. A private VIP screening with Jason Mraz, Joseph Jacques, and Luc Reynaud added a personal and heartfelt touch to the night.

This benefit marked a pivotal moment for Harmonic Humanity, and we extend a special thank you to Jason for giving our grassroots organization a beautiful lift forward. We are forever grateful.

Rodney McClaine – From Homelessness to Hope

This video is a heart-centered, feel-good interview with Rodney McClaine, a Harmonic Humanity vendor who used the program to completely transform his life. Through selling our HERO music CDs and Be Love postcards, Rodney pulled himself out of homelessness and into stability.

In this intimate and inspiring interview, Rodney shares his personal journey — the challenges he faced on the streets, and how Harmonic Humanity’s supportive, dignity-based approach gave him the tools and opportunity to rebuild his life. His story is a powerful testament to the impact of art, empowerment, and human connection.

Rodney’s resilience shines through every moment of this video. His journey is not only a reflection of his own strength, but also a reminder of what’s possible when compassion meets action.

Outreach Walk – Serving the Streets of San Francisco During COVID

This video captures Joseph Jacques, Co-Founder of Harmonic Humanity, leading a courageous team of counselors, psychotherapists, and social workers on one of our monthly outreach walks to serve those living on the streets of San Francisco.

This particular walk took place during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic — as seen by the masks — at a time when most people were staying indoors. But not Harmonic Humanity.

For nearly 6 years, our team showed up every month to bring connection, support, and dignity to those society often overlooks. This footage is a testament to the power of community and service, even in the most uncertain times. A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers who gave their time, compassion, and courage to a cause greater than themselves.

The Goodness Tour – Music, Healing & Collaboration

This video highlights The Goodness Tour, a powerful collaboration between Luc & the Lovingtons and Harmonic Humanity, as they embarked on a ticketless tour from Seattle to Los Angeles. Performing in homeless shelters, tent cities, hospitals, and directly on the streets, the tour brought music therapy, inspiration, and Harmonic Humanity’s HERO CDs to those most in need — especially individuals seeking employment and healing through art.

The video features a heartfelt conversation between Luc Reynaud and Joseph Jacques, reflecting on their shared experiences from the road — how they met, built trust, and discovered that collaboration was the key to lasting impact.

This tour wasn’t about stages or spotlights — it was about presence, purpose, and meeting people where they are.

The Road Trip of Love – A Call to Action

This video documents The Road Trip of Love — Harmonic Humanity’s nationwide call to expand its mission to 10 of the cities most affected by homelessness and poverty. The goal: to raise $100,000 to fund a tour that would deliver HERO music CDs and Be Love postcards directly into the hands of those in need.

These items weren’t just gifts — they were economic lifelines. In each city, local unhoused individuals could use the products to generate up to $110,000 in self-earned income through direct distribution, creating both financial opportunity and community connection. Across 10 cities, the potential impact exceeded $1 million in grassroots revenue, offering dignity, purpose, and possibility through Harmonic Humanity’s model.

Featuring heartfelt support from Jason Mraz, Michael Franti, and others who believed in the mission, this video is a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when creativity, compassion, and community come together for change.

Teaching the Power of Giving – Harmonic Humanity at USF

This video features AJ Lovewins and Joseph Jacques, co-founders of Harmonic Humanity, visiting the University of San Francisco (USF) to teach students about the life-changing impact of giving back from the heart.

As guest instructors for the Organizational Dynamics class, they led a heartfelt workshop followed by an outreach walk through the streets of San Francisco, giving students a direct experience of compassion in action.
