New Year 2016

Tools for building relationships, diffusing war

01 January 2016

Dear Ones around Earth,

New Year's Day 2016 can be an opportunity to imagine and begin creating every-day lives congruent with our most basic reality -- all is one and totally interdependent.
How we treat other humans and Earth, we treat ourselves.

Below are tools to share and apply in our daily lives of creating a sustainable global community that works for all -- including everyone, excluding no one.
These are some of many resources discovered by colleagues and participants in our local 23-year-old Jewish-Palestinian Living Room Dialogue Group in California USA.
For you.
