Shift Movement

Thank you Fred, i’ll do my best Referring to 9/21: there’s already a site on facebook which inspired me to submit the petition to the German Parliament: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Make-World-Peace-Day-a-National-Holiday/156045304424228 In the Tiergarten, the largest park in Berlin, is a stone monument which represents and reflects a 5-step process to worldwide love.  http://www.globalstone.de/index.htm   the 5 steps and the corresponding(or [...]

Great idea, Christian. To have Germany take the lead in a national holiday initiative would be fantastic. I hope you’ll post the idea on our Facebook page so the idea can spread. This would be a good idea for the new ICP Blog. Keep us posted and good luck in getting people excited!

i just started a facebook group to collect people from berlin to organize a public event in berlin on 9/21 and to support and sign a petition in the german parliament to make  9/21 a national holiday.https://www.facebook.com/pages/World-Peace-Cafe-Berlin/386057338107547

Hello Sarah ~  SO cool to hear from someone — from you. Just finishing with finals etc… so let’s pick this up later. I teach community college.. peace-themed Critical Reasoning & Writing Course – discussion text Approaches to Peace: Peace Reader (D.

Ambika,
A writing- teacher of peace education myself, I found your post intriguing. How did the presentation go in New Delhi? What is your next step? I would love to see some of your lesson plans.

yes fred, i agree. the diversity of all the movements should be maintained. but what can we make and how long will it take if we don’t focus one goal on a certain day. what can be a realistic minimum goal we can consolidate all efforts and budgets and communication and that will be supported by [...]

Yes, Christian, I agree we’re all moving together toward the same goal. I like the idea of a conference. Collaboration and exchange of ideas is essential to keep the movement strong and vibrant. In addition to your comment about the need for uniting in order to have impact, I would add a corollary. The proliferation [...]

thank you fred, even though i agree, there’s one point left: if – people driven – organisations, movements or platforms, like the shift community, global spirituality, global oneness project, world peace festival, the global challenge network, the melton foundation….. are not uniting to ONE, how will people do.  ?  logically – the networks must fuse to consolidate [...]

Thank you, Christain. I agree, at least while we’re evolving, that structured thinking is pretty good to have! I do, indeed, know about the Berlin peace festival and heard that it was not very well attended even though there was a stellar group of speakers. The message I took away from that, as well as [...]

welcome fred, i love that “structured” thinking.  do you already know the worldpeacefestival.org, which was a big festival-plan in berlin, but did not perform like it was planned. i’m not sure really sure why,  but i think that it would be helpful to have a vision and a presentation which  shows the benefit a “cop”-status [...]
