Eco April Alignment

The Eco April Alignment is a network of intergenerational and cross-cultural organizations, groups, and individuals.  We are interconnected and focused on honoring all living things and uniting our community by aligning with extraordinary events in April 2008 in the Seattle area.    

The principles that guide our participation and partnership are as follows:

Inclusiveness - providing for all views to be represented.

Cooperative management - developing partnerships and strengthening the networks between stakeholders; addressing conflictual issues; integrating diverse views; creating mutual benefits; developing shared power and responsibilities; creating feedback loops.

Flexibility - covering a wide spectrum of structures and levels of engagement, depending upon issues, participants, linkage into decision-making, timeframe and so on.

Transparency -  bringing all stakeholders together in one forum and within an agreed process; publicizing activities in an understandable manner.

Encouragement - encouraging others to align themselves with all that is good and true.

“To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life - bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace.”  Peace Pilgrim
