We are a group of people of diverse religions, spiritual expressions, and indigenous traditions who are aware of and are concerned about the prevailing culture of conflict and violence that is endangering our Earth community. Committed to respond to this adverse situation, we are claiming our right and responsibility to BE THE CHANGE WE WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD. Thinking globally and acting locally from our deepest values and from our highest ideals, we have come together in mutual respect, understanding and cooperation to do inner work on the areas of spirituality and universal values education, and to develop service-oriented peace-building projects which we hope will contribute to the realization of our common vision: WORLD PEACE AND THE HEALING OF THE EARTH THROUGH INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION.
