The Tree of Tomorrow Website aspires to become an outstanding and influential reference and resource base that nurtures ideas and knowledge for ecovillage conscious living. Essentially it will be highlighting and concentrating the most inspiring stories and practical information that is rotating the wheel of the Great Turning toward Earth Community.
This movement has been given many names: Ecovillages, Biovillages, Visions of Utopia, Conscious Community, Society of Village Republics. This “Society of Village Republics”, comprising the peoples of all nations, races, and tongues - living independently and together as One Humanity - in truth and harmony as one race, and speaking the one language of the heart - is a possible dream. It can be made by an evolutionary leap in consciousness - from the mind of greed to the heart of love.
By facilitating global, cross-cultural networks we will be inviting participation from and establishing links between the Native Nations, innovative technicians, rural farmers, seasoned communitarians, spiritual leaders and explorers and more…
This website will be a wind that carries ancient words and new ideas as seeds to the minds of those who are ready to act.
We have the solutions, now we need to implement them.
As with this entire website, this an evolving and co-creative work. Please click here to read contributions and amendments to our vision statement from other registered authors.
Join us, if you wish, and be our friend in rotating the wheel of the Great Turning toward Earth Community, toward peace on Earth and goodwill among men, women and children. Read more »
