Thank you Gerry for asking me what I am most interested in right now!

I am interested in learning how to run Youth Helping Youth like an International Humanities Center satellite office -- only our focus being on youth/adult/community projects (Youth Helping Youth). This would also include setting up a Global Youth Fund where youth voice directs the funds to the issues they feel most concerned about.

I’m also very focused on doing a great job to build the Elko Peace Park as I learn how to administer such a project. This experience will let me administer other great works as we will be working with local donors, city, state, federal and foundation funding.

Most importantly to all of this is building the Universal Peace Wheel as this is the heart of my spiritual practice (and all of you/us are part of this effort -- it's a physical representation of what we hope to achieve globally through supporting individual an organizational visions to uplift humanity and heal nature). This includes bringing the Peace Tiles project to our local schools as a lesson plan that leads into writing peace statements that will go into the Universal Peace Wheel.

Are any of you interested in attending our copper embossing workshop this fall? We will be carving the symbols that will be embossed in copper that wrap around the wheel and keep safe the 1000, billion prayers that will be wrapped inside the wheel. We have already raised $18,000 of the $36,000 needed and have a strong group of volunteers working with us.

Of course there is Emerging Futures Network, however, you can see that my time and focus will be mostly on the above work, with some effort going into Emerging Futures Network decision making and some effort towards building connections, especially around Network Weavers Network... which leads into...

I see the above work being the foundation for growing a network of centers of which one of the next steps is building a networking center in Elko. And working to connect technology, networks, existing centers and network weavers to help grow and be part of an interdependent network of centers, knowledge repository and global voice for what we want for our children's children.

Julie,

You've been on my mind. Would love to catch up on various things. I'm in my office thru Wednesday, then off to a conference for a week. Give me a ring 914-779-3246.
