You are invited to join an extraordinary gathering of concerned global citizens, including Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu and other global speakers and innovative thinkers, in a quest towards a more collaborative, peaceful and sustainable future for humankind and the planet. BALI IS THE IDEAL PLACE TO BEGIN THIS INQUIRY Bali is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in the world, with a rich culture and much to share about how to heal, forgive and to live harmoniously with one another and with the earth. Joined by our Balinese hosts we will draw upon the wisdom, ceremonies and rituals of Bali along with contemporary Western thought and dialogue to create this “conference without walls”. BE PART OF A SHIFT IN GLOBAL AWARENESS This is the first of three annual gatherings in a quest to become more effective global citizens. You will leave the conference more informed about the power of social healing at the personal, community, and global levels. You will leave inspired and ready to return to your own world to make a difference. New York Times journalist Patrick Tyler calls world public opinion the “second superpower”. At this conference you will have a unique opportunity to play a role in shifting global awareness. WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE AT THIS 5-DAY CONFERENCE World-renowned speakers, international facilitators, Balinese academics, artists and musicians will all assure an extraordinary week. Morning plenary sessions and small dialogue groups will provide the opportunity for deep sharing and learning as well as the opportunity to build lasting friendships with others from around the world. Afternoons will be filled with a variety of workshops, tours, or exploring on your own. Most evenings will offer Balinese cultural performances.

The Light Party

EXCERPT from "The Light Party" website: "The Hexagram, an inverted double tetrahedron, also known as the MERKABA, is the geometric form of the Diamond... An ancient symbol of the manifested universe... A symbol of Beauty... The interlacing triangles represent the law of love, and the union of polar opposites, themselves, the symbol of the cosmic order, conceived in the Universal Mind prior to the manifestation of humanity on Earth... The Diamond, the perfection of the mineral kingdom, radiates the energy of Love, Wisdom and Power... THE CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS... * Interestingly enough the hexagram is seen on top of the eagles head on the back of the U.S. One Dollar Bill... In Hindu teachings the hexagram (known as the Sri Yantra) is the symbol of the ATMAN, the Supreme Being whose name is OM... I AM... Peace... That Which Was, Is And Shall Be...This philosophical awareness has been scientifically substantiated in the West through the science of cymatics... The OM sound, when vibrated on a metal surface, creates a distinct hexagonal pattern... All this beautifully correlates with the Bible in John 1:1 (revised) where it is stated: "From the beginning is the word and the word is with God and the word is God... OM... I AM"... The word OM is concealed within the words Wisdom, Shalom, and Freedom... *The Booklet "The Great Seal Of The United States, Its History, Symbolism And Message For The New Age" By Paul Foster Case, is available from The Light Party..." http://www.lightparty.com/ One of the Beautiful Songs on the website I AM Declaring Peace
