When the United Sates declared it's independence 233 years ago it was still under the rule of of a very powerful England and its fighting forces. Eventually independence was achieved. This has also happened in other nations. A declaration of independence is a declaration of intent and commitment and the universe responds positively to such things. That's why we're going to Declare Peace On Earth from the island of Okinawa on the International Day of Peace, September 21st 2009, We know there are wars all over the place, but recognize that by making a declaration of peace on earth that we are opening the way to universal support for our cause. So we declare peace on earth and lay groundwork for it appear. This concept brought Celebration Earth into creation. People in Okinawa, who have greatly suffered thru war immediately saw the hope of such a declaration of peace and together we created Celebration Earth to advance peace on earth.
Please join us by making your Declaration for Peace on Earth. What are your dreams for peace. What would peace on earth look like? Please take a look at the Pathways To Peace Peace Wheel and its eight paths to peace. Can you picture peace thru habitat – what might that look like, or peace through the environment?
Send your declaration to:celebrationearth2009@yahoo.co.jp

The Peace Wheel © is a model for Peacebuilding, developed by Pathways To Peace over the last 25 years. It consists of eight sectors, or pathways, that are interconnected and that symbolize different ways that people can help build Peace. These pathways transcend national, ethnic, racial, religious, age, or gender differences; they are common to every society:
Governance/Law/Security
Education/Media
Economics/Business
Health/Relationships
Science/Technology
Religion/Spiritual Teachings
Environment/Habitat
Culture
Rainbow-hued interlocking infinity symbols, aligned to the four directions, circle out and back to the green mother center which is Earth. These infinity symbols, like the exalted feminine eight, include all circles of life and all expressions within their embrace. The protective, mothering spirit of Nature, strong in Law and seemingly eternal in patience, encircles each individual living entity, urging each one along its own evolutionary pathway. "PEACE" is recognized as both an innate state of Being, and a dynamic evolutionary process wherein constructive growth can occur and the children of this and future generations may gain hope for a better world to inherit.
The Peace Wheel © is used (and continuously modified) in diverse ways, such as a working model for international conferences and organizations, Peacebuilding symposia, and for the International Day of Peace.

A Message From The Culture of Peace Initiative

Dear Culture of Peace Participants:
This year the worldwide observances of the International Day of Peace will be more widespread and universal than ever. There will be thousands of Peacebuilding events and activities in all nations and on all levels of society: from religious organizations, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations (human rights, environmental, cultural, civic, etc.), to governments & their agencies, businesses & professionals and the media - as well as numerous smaller observances organized by private citizens, friends, families and villages. Hundreds of millions of people are expected to participate in these observances this year. This is due in part because, beginning this year, the International Day of Peace is listed on hundreds of millions of calendars all over the world!

This is your opportunity to literally 'seize the day', and create or conduct a meaningful Peacebuilding event. It is also an opportunity to promote your particular aspect of Peacebuilding - whether it is disarmament, children's advocacy, humanitarian relief, volunteer work or other such worthwhile cause. Please post your events onto the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI) web site: www.cultureofpeace.org . Note, all events posted on the CPI website, also show up on the companion International Day of Peace web site: www.internationaldayofpeace.org . Millions of people visit these sites, especially in September, and use them to learn about the various paths of Peacebuilding, and also to locate events all over the world. By promoting your event and Peacebuilding projects you are helping to build a year round Culture of Peace for all of humanity.

Join the CPI community at Peacebuilding.ning.com

We encourage you to join CPI's newly created online community space at peacebuilding.ning.com. It is a place for Culture of Peace Initiative Participants all over the world to connect with each other - and easily share peace event pictures, videos, and blog posts! Please document your Peace events throughout the year and see what peacebuilders around the world are doing! Paul Coleman (Ambassador of CPI) and his partner Konomi, have invited the Celebration Earth network to the site and are helping to administer our new CPI community.

During a Peace Day planning meeting at the United Nations an official suggested that we ask the CPI Participants who are on Twitter to follow the UN's WMD We Must Disarm campaign. This effort focuses on Peacebuilding through disarmament. Here is the link: http://twitter.com/wemustdisarm

For those who use Facebook, there is a group of thousands of supporters at: www.facebook.com/peaceday . There are daily posts featuring Peace Day events, videos and inspirational news. We encourage you to share your own events, ideas, and links by posting on our wall!

Canada recognizes the International Day of Peace

CPI participant Jean Trudell reported that the government of Canada has officially declared September 21 of each year the International Day of Peace. His organization, Cercle de Paix, just launched a very creative way to promote the International Day of Peace. View it on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiSA1xHr5Ag

Burkina Faso Concert

The BARKA Foundation is planning a major event in Burkina Faso Africa in observance of the Peace Day. Their goal is to raise funds and drill wells that will provide fresh water to villages there. www.thebarkafoundation.org/current-projects/peacedayconcert

There are many more events, news features and ideas on our web site www.cultureofpeace.org. Our goal is to make the CPI web site a valuable tool and resource for all Participants. Plus, because the events listed there also show up on the International Day of Peace website, this site is also a resource for all of humanity to participate in this worldwide observance of Peace.

Thank you, CPI Participants, for your dedication to building a culture of Peace for future generations on Peace Day and every day.

Celebration Earth has major events planned for September 21st including a concert by Kina Shoukichi which will also feature myself and a song written for the occasion as well as a welcoming parade for Japan's Tree Planting Father who with family and friends will arrive after his six month walk through Japan.

Do you have any concert or event planned for September 21st, the International Day of Peace?

This year their will be millions more people participating and attempts are being made to hook everyone up through a twenty three hour live internet broadcast. Our Okinawa event will be a part of this. Any ideas on how you might be able to join us through Celebration Earth will be much appreciated.

Earth Jumps are a very good idea - they are so simple but they have been a great success. Take a look at this video of an Earth Jump in Olanthe, Kansas It's very inspirational and should give you a hgih spirited laugh.
