A human being is part of the whole called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. - Albert Einstein |

What is the World Healing Project?
The World Healing Project is a series of initiatives designed to help foster
the growth of human and planetary relations through the expansion of the heart,
mind, and spirit. The vision that shapes this project is one in which human
beings recover their natural sense of wholeness with each other and all of life,
while at the same time developing their potential as individuals. We believe
that the root of all suffering lies in a fragmented perception of life, which is
passed on through generations, often unquestioned. We also believe that our
perception of life can change if we are exposed to the wholeness of life and
have the resources to move beyond the resistances or unresourceful states that
keep us in separation.
The World Healing Project is run by volunteers and enables individuals and
groups to explore the issues of healing and wholeness, and to put into practice
a new way of living in which individuals become more integrated with the whole
of which they are a part. This is achieved through three main initiatives:
The World Healing Service
provides holistic information, advice,
training, and healing, and provides work-placement schemes for individuals
to pursue those activities that foster greater degrees of wholeness while
developing the potential of the individual.
The World Healing Network
is a support network for individuals to
share information and connect with each other. The Internet will play a
valuable part in this.
The World Healing Days
are a special opportunity for individuals
and groups to mark a day to honour and celebrate the theme of world healing. Meditations and
celebrations that follow the lunar and solar cycles Meditations and
celebrations proposed by others for special occasions

WE, THE WORLD
Can you imagine 1000's of peace and sustainability
organizations establishing such collaborative working relationships
and being so well linked around the world that a success in one region
is soon modeled in 100 others?!!
Can you imagine those organizations participating in global
events that take place several times a year, with substantial media
coverage, in which visionaries, activists, artists, celebrities,
diplomats, socially responsible business leaders, forward thinking
government officials, and the general public come together to
celebrate, share information and take action regarding issues that
affect the whole planet?!!
Then can you imagine after each event tens of thousands of
new people get involved, and eventually millions swell the ranks (and
the bank accounts) of non-profit peace and environmental organizations
worldwide, transforming society and themselves, and consciously and
collectively using their buying power, their voting power and their people
power to move us visibly toward a world that works for everyone?!!
We can imagine it because we're making it happen! We've put
together a practical strategy and an incredible team to carry it out!
I support and endorse the mission of We, The
World to make sure that individuals and organizations who
share a commitment to sustainability can network effectively to
achieve their goals.
OUR TEAM:
Jane Goodall Daniel Ellsberg Riane Eisler and more than 50 others (see full bios below) whose
distinguished careers collectively have already benefited literally millions
of people and other life around the world!
OUR STRATEGY:
There's only one catch to all this. Can we count you in???
Here's where we are starting:
ART
FOR CHILDREN'S SAKE
"The world's children would sing to you had they a voice. We
must be their voice until we can return their collective and
individual voices to them." We, The World is collaborating with artist Paul Weingarten and art
buyer John Krysko to raise money for the relief of children in danger
around the world. Together we are connecting artists with the
organizations and individuals who are steadfastly addressing the
conditions that rob children of their innocence: hunger, poverty,
disease, forced labor/slavery, refugee crises, forced military duty.

INTERDEPENDENCE DAY In proclaiming Interdependence Day, we are acknowledging the
evident - that we are all connected, and that when one thread in the
web of life is sundered, all are diminished.
We are gathering support to link Interdependence Day with the 10th
Anniversary of the Rio Earth Summit, the World Summit on Sustainable
Development in Johannesburg South Africa, this August. (Full

GLOBAL RESOURCES NETWORK Our web-based Global Resources Network is being developed as a
comprehensive, interactive, collaborative Yellow Pages
of peace, sustainability and transformation!
This breakthrough model of collaboration and mutual support will
allow 1000s of organizations and individuals to effectively work
together to create a world where people live in harmony with each
other and with the rest of nature. It will allow organizations around
the world to easily learn about and then participate in each other's
activities, whatever the distance between them — thus spreading
their name and expanding their reach globally. (Full

GETTING INVOLVED
We need both volunteers and financial support.
We, The World is a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status
