It is good for the whole world, for the beings who inhabit it and the environment in which they live, if we are able to achieve peace and harmony. For this reason positive leadership is very important and today´s youth are the leaders of the future.
As individuals it is particularly important that we develop a kind heart, a sense of love, compassion and respect for others. However, we do not have to try to generate these feelings afresh because they arise naturally in us as human beings. What we need to do is recognise these positive qualities within us and work to develop them.
When it comes to being kinder to the natural environment, we need to remember that the world is not just a large rock, but more like a mother´s womb, a living vessel that supports life. It is like the body of all beings, therefore we must take care of it.
I send you my prayers that as a result of attending this Summer University you may all be inspired to work enthusiastically for peace and the welfare of others in whichever part of the world you may live.

This is an aim we are working on and studying with :
files&photos : Implementation of Futurological Centers
Our aim is to combine different things like permaculture, peacebuilding, truth, love issues,
community building, creating a solarvillage model for poor countries, regional food autarky and more.
I´m engaged in supporting the young generation to create a peaceful planet.
I love connecting people and ideas, love gardening and peaceful thoughts, and I love living in a now big community with about 120 coworkers and children and now more than 80 students - which has moved 13 years before to Portugal, and has started 30 years ago in Germany.
It seems to me like an utopian paradise with the aim to help the world in a meaningful way.
More highlights : Field effect, Grace, unconditional love, Global Campus, greenhouses of trust, holografic universe, global consciousness, oneness, 50 people can change the world, nonviolence.
The idea of the 'Global Campus' was born with our co-operation partners in Israel/Palestine (The Holy Land Trust), India (Barefoot College) and Colombia (Peace Village San Jose). It is an initiative that will provide education, training and research in all aspects of peace work for the future - community building and social dynamics, sustainable technology, truthful reconciliation between the genders, the connection between the spiritual and political.
My and our work can be watched here :

"Ring of Power" : ring-of-power(at)sabine-lichtenfels.de
The Ring of Power is an international, political meditation ring, initiiated by Sabine Lichtenfels in April 2002.
She is doing the meditation every morning at sunrise and invites peace workers from around the globe to
join in and thus to form a circle of power.
On every Monday, she sends her inspiration for peace work and a text of empowerment via E-Mail to the
Ring of Power. Thus, a network of the heart has grown which reaches out to many countries.
"Community is the universal organ that has suffered the greatest injury. It is a necessary part
of the Whole that has been destroyed on a global level. Everywhere where people were
displaced, enslaved or sold through conquering wars and colonization, communities were
destroyed and thus the life nerve of whole peoples. This destruction has been raging for 7000
years, up to the present time where the last indigenous people are being expelled and destroyed
in the name of economic interests on all continents. The disappearance of the human
community has caused a severe wound in the human civilisation. With the destruction of
community the human being has lost his/her authentic morality and responsibility. People have
been torn from their organic communities. This has also gradually separated them from their
own higher self and their higher knowledge and from the higher orders of life. Community was
and is the natural humus for trust and solidarity."
