Circle of Change

We are all being called to make a difference, to be part of healing the wounds in the lives and hearts in communities across our planet. Many are discouraged thinking of the mess to clean up in our individual lives and on the planet. Why focus there? The real power lies in collectively and consciously shaping a vision of peace, of caring and sharing upon our planet, a new reality, a New Earth.

In every community, every country we can find common experiences of frustration, helplessness, powerlessness when we watch violence erupting on our streets, when our governments make decisions that favour big businesses and don’t look out for the interests of the common people or of the earth, when major environmental catastrophes have no ‘apparent’ solutions. So often in our work people ask us what can be done to change things. In 1992 we wrote a book, ‘Stands Together ~ A Story of Earth Changes’, In this fictional book, the sounding of the note ‘middle C’ around the world at the same time was the beginning of a movement that changed the way people thought about each other.

We are aware of the many other actions, gatherings, events that call us to world wide action to change consciousness on our planet. Join us on this call to action at 10:00 GMT on the 10th day of the 10th month of 2010 for 10 minutes to sing, play, harmonize with the sound of middle ‘C’. Imagine millions of people around our planet creating this vibration together, all focused on a common vision of peace and unity.

The number 10 was chosen because of the significance of ‘All Things Possible” It will another millenium before we can gather on the 10th of the 10th of the 10th.
NOW is the time. Together all things are possible! Together we can make it so!

What do we need?
~ the decision to be part of this gathering
~ people to join you
~ the time in your part of the world
~ our most important instruments for peace ~ our hearts, our spirits, our voices, our actions, our vision of peace, our deep gratitude to the earth, our willingness to be open to each other.
Please Log on to the 10~10~10~10~10 Gathering blog and post your ideas and plans for the gathering, share your thoughts, images
