Healing Our Piece of the Planet
Basically, we are attempting the first healing of an entire city
through individual acts of unconditional love and forgiveness. We
believe that if the peacemakers - those people teaching love in the
community - can gather together and revitalize each other and
encourage others to join them as peacemakers, it can have a positive
effect on the entire community manifesting in lower crime, drug abuse,
domestic abuse, etc.
We encourage each person, no matter what was done to them in the past
or what they have done in the past, to heal their small piece of the
planet by simply loving and forgiving each day as much as they can. We
cannot correct every problem, nor is our Creator asking us to. We are
just asked to walk our path with love. No matter what happens
city-wide, a healing is guaranteed for each individual who accepts
this invitation to be a peacemaker.
At the event, we will be giving out a handout called the Path of
the Peacemakers. Based on the establishment of the first democracy,
the Iroquois Confederacy, it is a a true epic that reveals everything
we will encounter on our own individual paths as peacemakers. To read
this one page handout, click below.

The End to War
Throughout history, all major societal corrections to unconscious
human behavior were initiated by small groups of people who, for the
most part, had little or no financial, political or social station.
These include movements involving abolition of slavery, establishment
of democracy, women's rights, civil rights, environmental,
anti-apartheid, and the relinquishment of colonial oppression. In the
beginning, a small group held the vision, shared it with many others
until a critical mass - a tipping point - was reached in consciousness
that this painful behavior could end, even though it may have existed
throughout human history. Only then did the leadership embrace the
correction and laws were passed to correct the problem.
So it will be with the end of war. First, small groups of people
will vision the possibility of no more war. They will spread that to
the masses and the people will demand that their leaders follow.
As noted anthropologist Margaret Meade notes: "Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;
indeed it's the only thing that ever has."

Everyone is a peacemaker. Join us on the Path. Bring healing to the
piece of the planet you have been assigned by asking the Creator, "Who
are you sending me today to love and forgive?" You have been perfectly
prepared to do your part to advance human consciousness towards the
"tipping point of peace."
