³Come my friends,

Let us make no more walls and fences.

Close your eyes. Hold hands.

Let's make peace through asking,

listening, and affirming

the Enchanted Garden on earth

that exists deep, deep, within us.

May we open our eyes to peace as well,

use gardening tools to uplift each other,

spades to confirm peace

visibly before us.

Come, my friends,

let us taste peace in holy foods

forever; smell peace in wild baby herbs

planted where unloved weeds grow;

hear and feel its ode to joy

from the mouth of earth-like Angels

as we dare to dance with water hoses.

²Job¹s Prayer²

A CALL FOR COLLABORATION

I bear witness to the generosity of ³Heart and Soul² inspired local organic

farmers and Industry here to uplift Humanity. For years I have experienced this generosity at the Natural Products Expo West, from my friends in Publishing, and at the local Hillcrest Farmers¹ Market in San Diego.

I have put out the Call for Collaboration over the years to my local farmers, who have helped me create magnificent Enchanted Garden Installations of flowers, fresh fruits, grains, and stunning cornucopias that reveal the underlying abundance of nature.

Three years ago, I was having bilateral hip revisions at the State of the art Thornton Hospital in La Jolla. Local farmers supplied organic foods to the Chef My private room--paid for by Medicare-- was created to be a healing haven. My conscious intent was to uplift each nurse, doctor, or PT that came my way. I wanted them to feel Mother Earth¹s magnificent ³Organic Celebration!²

Doctors were mystified that I could go from using Morphine to Boiron¹s Arnica Montana as my only pain relief. I was uplifted knowing that through my own Getting Hip, I was helping the medical profession ³Get Hip² to all it could be.

So here we are in the Summer of 2005. Never has there been a need for a Call for Collaboration. The short on-line video ³Store Wars² sponsored by my friends the OTA, is making the rounds that enlightens us to ³The dark side of the farm² as well as the emergence of the ³Organic Rebellion.² Further when you see ³The Future of Food,² by Deborah Koons Garcia, who will realize that on our Watch we have lost close to 70% of our supermarket foods to GMO¹s.

Despite these heart rending expressions, i am convinced that ³The Future of Food² is bright. ³The Dark Side of the Farm² is no match for the force of ³Organic Celebration!² in the world. And so my friend, I am asking you to help me create this summer-- this very moment as the ultimate expression of Collaboration.

Between August 4-9 more than 60 innovative Sustainable Living experts will converge and join an estimated 400 or more to further define

an emerging 21 Century Vital Energy Healing Model. This event will take place at the

International feng Shui Conference at the Hilton San Diego Resort, August 4-8.

The event will have numbers of Enchanted Garden activities cosponsored

by the Conference, the Hilton, and many other cosponsors that the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, Frey Winery, and Whole Foods Market, to list a few.

The Conference itself August 5-7, will offer ³Organic Celebration at the Hilton!² paving the way for organic and biodynamic locally grown foods to find their way into the HIlton network. The free vendor/exhibit area will feature the premiere of the long awaited photo exhibition called ³Organic Celebration!.² This is a showing of farmers¹ Market foods and activity, images from various Enchanted Gardens, and expressions of Heart and Soul in the world.

I am turning to you--now--to help me fulfill my Seed Dream. On August 27,

I confirmed with Executive Chef Hermann Schaefer menus for our event. Little did he realize at that time that these menus would be supplemented by an outpouring of offerings from the nations leading Heart and Soul Companies. Some of the Promotional offerings of these natural food products will be used in the Hilton Menus and be acknowledged with a beautiful Declaration of Interdependence Poster and as ³Organic Celebration Sponsors² recognizing that they were served at the Hilton Hotel.

Other products will be used to raise consciousness at various events in San Diego through the month of August and September--OTA¹s Harvest Month.

I will be working along side media Sponsor The Light Connection newspaper, and allies at the Whole Being Weekend to create not only Media events, but deeply felt palpable expressions of Heart and Soul.

³Store Wars² speaks to the Organic Rebellion; I ask you to join me in ³Organic Celebration² May the world come to know this Force well now.

TESTIMONIALS and LETTERS of SUPPORT

"Practicing Shui involves a simple shift of attitude

toward an Earth-friendly cosmology that serves life.

Working together necessitates a vision of individual,

communal, societal and global harmony.

This vision is of a world sustained by sensitivity,

intelligence and respect for all beings.

At this conference we aim to encourage collaborative learning, through the exploration and integration

of all the living design and healing arts."
