Description

There are just a few seconds left until midnight. The foundations of our planetary life system are under extreme threat: the purity of water and air, the abundance of life in the oceans, the balance of the climate, the existence of forests, the diversity of ecosystems, and above all, the presence of love and solidarity among human beings.

This book features women and men from all over the world who, despite everything, do not give up. They build autonomous communities, create livelihoods for whole regions, fight against the destruction of forests and the construction of dams, work for the restoration of natural cycles, green deserts and make soil fertile again. They turn slums into ecological neighbourhoods, create new school systems, refuse to believe in the concept of enemies, develop global peace strategies and build social systems for the healing of love.

They know that we can only master the challenges of our times when we unite. It’s only by standing together that we’ll be able to defend what lives, what is sacred, both inside and outside ourselves. Defend the Sacred!

Their contributions testify to a power which is in the hearts of all people. The main aim of this book is to awaken and strengthen this power in more and more people around the world.

“From the diversity of nature comes sustainability. From diversity among people comes peace.”

The Grace Foundation is working with other organizations and individuals to initiate a global system change: from a system of war, exploitation, and environmental destruction to one of peace, trust, and cooperation with nature.

The Grace Foundation works within the framework of a global peace plan based on building worldwide models of peace, called “healing biotopes.” These centers are designed to gather, research, and test in practice the fundamentals of a regenerative way of life. They provide the knowledge for planetary settlements of the future, for living communities of humans, animals and nature based on trust.

The Grace Foundation supports the creation and development of healing biotopes by providing financial resources for education and knowledge exchange.

It promotes above all:

  • Ecological and economic sustainability through regional self-sufficiency in water, food and energy.
  • Social sustainability through community building based on truth, mutual support and responsible participation.
  • Spiritual sustainability through the unfolding of human potential in cooperation with the sacred, in gratitude for the miracle of life.
