If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,
if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand,
rejoice, for your soul is alive.

Thank you Jon for your comments.  Can we talk about making it possible for travelers to "hook in" with social change groups where they are traveling?  To know about each other.  To converse with each other.  To encourage and empower each other.

 

Peacefulworldfoundation envisions conversations between strangers, locals and travelers, in the gateway cities of the world. We envision that wherever you and I travel, we can find local hospitality entrepreneurs, hostels, cafes, b&b's where conversations take place on a regular basis and everybody is invited.  We model this in San Francisco at the Peaceful World Center at the Red Victorian.

 

Just as one can find Rotary meetings in the cities and towns of the U.S.. we will be able to find Peaceful World Conversations happening and connecting us, in the gateway cities everywhere.  How do you think we can partner, which seems to be yours, and a lot of other people's interest, meeting over Peaceful World Conversations?     www.peacefulworldfoundation.org, www.redvic.com

 

Please team up with us and share your present goals and actions which we can partner with conversations worldwide. 

 

Thank you and love and service,

Hi Jon,

 

Thanks for seeing a potential connection and letting me know.

 

I looked at the NICO information first, and then I looked at the information

in your profile.  Then I went to the website of The InterraProject.  Once there,

it took me about 2 seconds to see that The Interra Project is developing

a very important piece of the transition work ahead.

 

There is much in the community card idea which does, or can, relate to areas

of focus in The Interfaith Peacebuilding and CommunityRevitalization (IPCR)

Initiative, which I have been building.

 

I tried to send this response, with a more detailed response in an attached

pdf file, to your e-mail listed above, but that was sent back "unknown sender".

So what I have done is posted my detailed response to you as a temporary pdf

file in my WiserEarth profile "file" section.

 

I hope the information in that file is useful to you, and that we can have some

discussion which will be helpful to further implementing ideas and solutions

for the greater good of the whole. (I will delete that pdf file from my WiserEarth

profile "file" area once I know you have accessed it).

 

With Kind Regards,

 

Stefan Pasti

The IPCR Initiative

I use the WholEarth system to quickly indentify the problems facing any environmental situation where humans are involved.

First, I review the five elements. I use it like a mantra.

Housing
Water
Food
Energy
Occupation

It is very likely that the root cause of the problem is based in one or more of these five things.

Your thoughts please.

Hi, Jon. I wanted to join your conversation on sustainability, but I could not see how to add a comment. I am just learning to navigate this site. I was at the convergence and am over on Bainbridge wanting to tie Kitsap County in with the sustainability movement in Seattle. I volunteered for the Regional Council and am looking forward to working with others on this. One idea we had in the discussion is to define sustainability in basic understandable terms like: drinkable water, clean air, organic food, sustainable harvesting of food and forests, healthy populations of wildlife with protected habitat, etc. That way we would know when we reached it. How is a whole nother question. Let me know if you have any suggestions for connecting my community with what is going on in Seattle.

Hi Jon,
This is both an innovative idea as well as a great site; I need to find out how to build people onto my name ( networks) and how to better utilize this wonderful resource!
Thankyou! You and Tova keep up all the good works!
