I created this blog to initiate a discussion around the challenges for healing in our lives, from the most immediate and intimate levels of self-family-community, out to sweeping regional and global levels as our living planet, and thus humanity, faces greater threats and changes than we've imagined in our known history of existence. Potentially, it is also my hope that this forum for resource sharing, discussion and exchange, may serve to springboard a new form of organization, one that grows from seeds of mutual respect, of shared concern and compassion, whose originating structures are based on the connection we share with one another, the responsibility we share for each other, the planet, our children and all life forms, and future generations to follow. ~ Emilie Parry 2007 *Unless otherwise stated, all opinions expressed are my own.
