We are at a critical point in the evolution of life on planet Earth.
This “Invitation Package” document is a compilation of observations from a wide range of vantage points, which provides both a “big picture” assessment of the critical point we are at, and more than enough evidence that we have the resources to overcome the challenges of our times. Never before in the history of life on planet Earth has there been so many opportunities for redemption. This “Invitation Package” document is an invitation for people in communities around the world to re-discover both the treasured wisdom of 5,000 years of human experience, and revitalize and re-create the experience of working together for the greater good.
This writer advocates for a combination of preliminary surveys to 150 local leaders (as preparation for
Community Visioning Initiatives), time-intensive Community Visioning Initiatives supported by many
“Community Teaching and Learning Centers” (offering workshops suggested by the preliminary surveys),
and “sister community” relationships as a starting point for accelerating solution-oriented activity, and creating more “close-knit” communities…communities with a healthy appreciation for each others strengths, communities with a well-developed capacity to resolve even the most difficult challenges—and communities which demonstrate a high level of compassion for their fellow human beings.
This “Invitation” document is an example of an overview-of-challenges-and-solutions resource which could be made accessible in Community Teaching and Learning Centers created to support an ongoing Community Visioning Initiative.
