PLANET HEART
Introducing Planet Heart One Planet. One Race. One Heart. We Are All
One.
If one takes the letter, h, from the end of the word Earth and moves it to the beginning, it forms the new word, Heart.
This is Planet Earth, yet, we are also living on Planet Heart. Where our hearts beat as one - We Are One. We just have to
remember. Some of us are and it is our job to spread this energy and do things that make a difference. Many of us, like We, The
World, are working to make the world a better place for us and for our children. We are living in very auspicious times. People in
spiritual communities and organizations, and the New Age Movement already know this, but we need to wake up the others who are
still sleeping. The rate of awareness is increasing. So, this is the meaning behind the name, Planet Heart. As a Project of We, The
World, we aim to extend their mission and believe that Planet Hearts mission is at the heart and core of that of We, The World.
Mission
The Mission of Planet Heart is to help cultivate a world of peace, helping to bring all humans together in harmony on a global scale and
to realize that We Are All One. The Mission of the Planet Heart Project, originally called the Millennium Project, is to also document
st
the first decades of the 21 Century, recording peoples current thoughts through interviews, artistic expression, and communitybuilding. (This format is part of its long-term goals and projects and will be outlined at a later time). Planet Heart, in partnership with
We, the World is committed to furthering the mission of We, The World in promoting and producing multi-media of all facets such as
events, concerts, documentaries, gatherings, internet programming, broadcasting, music and much, much more.
PLANET HEART, is envisioned to be a subdivision or project of We, The World, where We ARE the world. We stand together at the
crossroads of a new tomorrow, realizing that if we open our hearts more and come together in community, a sense of unity is
reawakened and renewed, bringing people together of all faiths and beliefs. It is here where we can reach, as the human species,
together as one, our true full potential. We realize we arent so different from our brothers and sisters, and that we all want to feel
appreciated and loved for who we are, as unique human beings. With exciting programs such as collaborations with other individuals
and related organizations promoting peace and higher consciousness, Planet Heart would like to envision a Domino-like effect where
all of us slowly start to wake up, realize that We Are All One and EACH one of us CAN make a difference. Like We, The World, which
has been promoting and producing spectacular work, especially with its ever growing 11 Days of Global Unity and its amazing Global
Calendar of Events worldwide, Planet Heart intends to build a team, including its very own board of directors, and supporters.
rd

Planet Heart is pleased to produce its first production with the First Annual World Peace Earth Day Celebrations April 22 and April 23 ,
2007.
Some Upcoming Projects for Planet Heart
ReAwakenend Poet and Friends: Special Evenings for World Peace. I would like to start doing events working with different poets
and musicians to build a beautiful peace-themed evening of multi-media format. It would most often change each time. I would like to
do this event bi-monthly, and if successful, maybe once a month. The first date I am working on producing for debuting Planet Heart
and this particular event is slated for Earth Day, April 22, 2007, Sunday from 1-5PM. The cost will be $15/20 donation at the door.
There may be a separate one-time event, which will feature dancer Three Arrows with my poetry/music. A CD-Release Party of my first
Album will be part of one of these programs this summer.
UNITY: A World Peace Production. Time: TBA. This event will be themed similar to the first project, but it will bring in different artists
with a focus around unity and world peace. It will actually be a show that is to be directed, and would include some theatrical
performances and multi-media format. The show has not been written yet. I anticipate it will involve the audience throughout and be
interactive at different points. One of my projections is for it to be at the Fringe Festival in August of this year or next August. I may also
have it produced at another festival. It will include dance, art, spoken word, music and will be multi-media. This particular project is
expected to grow to different formats and productions, and will be looking for talent and people interested in being part its creation. If
you are interested, contact us.
First Annual Planet Heart/WeTheWorld Peace Event/Retreat/Festival/Gathering. (Name TBA) Date: Sept 14, 15, 16. Location:
Camp Sunrise, Monroe, NY.
11 Days of Global Unity is from Sept 11-21, 2007 and this will be an event during 11 days that is an hour away on the lake for the
weekend. It is still under pre-production, and is looking for artists, speakers, and collaborators, and volunteers. If interested in being part
of this event, contact us at planetheart.org (site still under construction) but you can email us at andrewkaen_events@yahoo.com.

Dear NY Community,
This has been a long vision of mine to produce on earth day event and literally nine years to bring to reality and
manifestation of Planet Heart. It was in my head for all of these years imagine. It was just about two years ago I
was in the hospital for a major surgery, with a life-threatening large-sized benign tumor, acoustic neoroma, which
made me deaf in my left ear and retaught me the value of life, its preciousness and the importance of having
gratitude for what we do have. I am just one of many of us who experience all kinds of big circumstances which
give us a chance to really look at our lives and the lives around us and go to the next level of being alive and
understanding that phenomenon. That is, if we choose to see it in that light. We are living in tremendous times,
we must really take time to really take in the NOW moment (I am still working on that myself), of our daily living
its not easy sometimes. There are so many energy shifts going on today, and we are all feeling it in different
ways.
This is the official launch of Planet Heart, which produced this first event. I just want to thank you fro- the bottom
of my heart for being part of the First Annual World Peace Earth Day Celebrations: Celebrating Our Planet,
Healing Our Hearts. We could not do this event authentically without a special acknowledgement and recognition
of those who came before us, Our Native Elders. They have always held the knowledge, tools, and expertise of
our land and how to treat our land, and so so much more. Their information, lessons, and truths are so far more
important to hear now more than ever. It is why, it is truly my Honor to have them in our presence for this two
event program. It is so important for NY that I, with conversations, with my dear dear friend, Lygia Maciel, a
Brazilian Elder who is one of the coordinators, and the main coordinator for the Elders, that we have added the
nd
second evening, to just give them the time to really speak to us. We couldnt do that in our April 22 event,
because we included such an array of different artists and speakers. We hope you come back for April 23, bring
your friends, and especially your children and youth.
Please make sure to sign the mailing list on the cards you have been provided so you can be alerted of our
future events. We are planning a first annual peace event in a rustic campsite one hour from the city on Sept 1517. 2007 during 11 Days of Global Unitys fourth year, to which this event is a benefit for, along with WBAI and
Planet Heart.
We hope you enjoy the festivities and please make sure to visit our major sponsors websites at
www.wetheworld.org, www.goodnewsbroadcast.com, www.newrealitiestv.com, and soon www.planetheart.org
(still under construction).
May Peace Prevail on Earth. We Are All One. AHO!
Blessings and Light,

Dr. Angels Responses to Questionnaire

1. Earth Day means to myself as an artist, musician and a chiropracic physician an opportunity to express the
inherent connection of all people everywhere through the expression of sacred ritual, dance and music to assist in
uplifting the consciousness of all people to the oneness of life and love. I wish to express that Earth Day be a
beacon of light, love and compassion which will shine light in every corner of the earth and we can all celebrate
the day when finally the "Power of Love Overcomes The Love of Power."
2. I hoped to be a part of the Earth Day celebration to affirm the power we all have as conscious individuals to come
together to create a true heaven on earth. I envision that there are new ways of interacting with our fellow
brothers and sisters which will bring about a Golden Age in which all people everywhere will be considered as one
human family and consequently with repect to the care we have for the earth, its animals, plants, and all its
creatures, we will have become more of a caretaker than an exploiter of those resources.
3. We can purify the environment by expressing loving kindness to all beings and all people everywhere thereby
healing ourselves and the planet.

Christines Answers to Questionnaire
1. Earth Day to me is a celebration of our unity as human beings. To honor the earth as our mother that nurtures us and gives
us opportunity for life. A day to be grateful for the abundance that we are blessed to be living in here on earth. It is my
intention to raise my own consciousness and to be inspiration for others to do the same.
2. It seems to me that we are one breath away from world peace. As we take the time to breath and watch we flow with the sonic
vibrations of the all. And we are one. I was drawn to be supportive of this cause and I felt responsible and I knew it was going
to be fun to be a part of this sacred and blessed event.
3. My contribution to the environment is that I have written a song called "Take It Back". And I will be licensing it to an
organization that is replanting the trees all around the world. And going to have Sting sing and record the song, and I will be
donating a portion of the money that comes in from publishing and licensing it to the organization. Plant Trees and Breath

Kathryns Answers to Earth Day Questionnaire
1. For me Earth Day is the celebration of Mother, Mother Goddess and Universal Spirit. Our current state as a
species on the brink of extinction is a message of warning to all who can hear that it"s time to return home. Our Home,
Mother Gia Earth, is waiting for her children to remember who they are and re-engage in the co-creation of a new age of
consciousness, harmony and peace.
2. The greatest challenge is to find peace within one's own life while at the same time remaining active in the world. With
so much chaos the temptation is to go forth with anger and fear or to sheild oneself in an insular environment that is
disconnected from our responsibility to transform our social and political structures. In order to proceed we must take
good care of ourselves and use our spiritual tools to ameliorate our sorrow and grief over the suffering that we witness
and to on a spiritual level forgive those who cause harm in the world.
As we go forth we must go forth as warriors. Challenging within ourselves the temptation to internalize the controllers tactics of personal
attack and focus on a systematic response that challenges the individual behaviors and social structures that cause harm in the world.
Events such as this are critical to our success because it gives us community and confirmation that we are on the right path. It allows us
to network and create a movement for self awareness and social and political transformation. Your involvement and support of the
organizations that have created this event is a good first step in making our goals possible.
3. For the environment we must do everything we can do. Refrain from littering the streets. Reduce energy consumption with low
energy bulbs; moderate heat and cooling systems; take public transportation; recycle; buy and invest in green products. You can plant
trees and help to protect green spaces and become involved in campaigns to pass environmentally sound legislation. For guidance
some additional organizations you can check are earthday.org or the
Union of Concerned Scientists at ucsusa.org or contact the Wetlands Activism Collective at wetlands-preserve.org.
4. WBAI Radio and the Pacifica network is an important resource for communication and change. But WBAI is a
political entity and it requires your direct involvement. The focus of programming and policy is largely determined by the will of its
constituency. Please consider becoming a member of WBAI 99.5 FM. As such you will have the privilege of running for a place on the
WBAI local station board and or voting for those who do run. As a listener member you will be
activated as a source for change within your individual communities. You will be informed and inspired!
Membership is only $25. For information call (212) 209-2800 or go to wbai.org. You can listen to my programs Heart of Mind on
Thursday evenings at 10 PM and Health Action on Monday afternoons at 1 PM

Into the pathway of harmony

To a grander spectacle
Divine whispers of the heart
Follows the golden seed
To be planted and blessed
Time at last to set in motion
A momentary shout
For all to hear and sense
That it is time
For humans to wake
To a new dawn cometh
Divine whispers of the heart
Seeping love syrup to taste
Hear the calling

educators offering both individual sessions and large group workshops for personal growth and vibrational healing.
Ms. Serota's art career has evolved from her fine arts background, through the world of high-fashion textile design to her
current role as a pioneer in a new field in which vibrational healing utilizes art, color, energy, channeled information and sound.
Serota's paintings usually feature acrylics on canvas or watercolors and/or mixed media on paper. Serota is often commissioned to
create works of varying sizes for private collections, and while her work has been promoted and distributed primarily throughout the
Northeastern United States, recent works have been commissioned for clients as far west as California and as far east as Africa.
Serota began her textile career in the women's wear field, specializing as a designer, colorist and printer. In the early 80's, her textile
work was focused in the medium of hand-painted silk. She has taught classes on the French techniques of painting on silk as both a
private instructor, and at The Parsons School of Design in New York City.
Serota has exhibited her paintings in galleries throughout the U.S., has sold to numerous works for private residences

Intention to Change Your Life and Your Planet, published by Elite books.
In September 1989, Serota began as an instructor at the former Manhattan Center for Living in New York City, a non-medical
facility for the care of those with life-threatening illnesses, where she taught a variety of metaphysical classes including an Art, Color
and Sound Healing Workshop. The Center was also the home of an impressive display of Serota's "healing" artwork. She continues to
lecture and hold experiential workshops, vibrational healing concerts, and creates special events at inspiring locations such as The
Cathedral of St. John The Divine.
Serota has also been a frequent guest on Manhattan Cable Television, appeared on network radio and has been a featured

color as a healing tool. Serota also was named as a recipient of the New York "Do-ers" Award, sponsored by Dewar's, honoring her as

Carmela Tal shares:
Q: Who coined April 22 to be the first Earth day in 1970?
A: Jose Arguelles, Founder of the Whole Earth Festival (1970); has been a great inspiration for me since I looked into his Mandala
Book (Shambala) in 1973 where I found the date Aug 16-17 1987 for Harmonic Convergence, predicted to be a window in time for
people to link in harmony and leap into a brighter sense of awareness. And so it was when 144.000 sun dancers, created a grid of light
around the planet, preparing to greet a cosmic civilization.
Jose Arguelles, artist and art historian inspired many to create new ceremonies.

Dear EarthTalk : The term sustainable seems to be the new green buzzword. What exactly does it mean, particularly when
applied to such things, say, as transportation or agriculture? -- Steve Nezhad, Portland, ME
Sustainable, quite simply, is the positive result of conducting economic, social or environmental activities in such a way that current
needs are met without compromising the well-being of future generations. A sustainable activity also does not despoil the here and
now, in part because of how it may affect the future.

For example, cars that run on oil and gasoline are unsustainable on both counts: They make use of a nonrenewable resource (that is, one that will be completely depleted at some point in the future); and they pollute the environment right
now. Thus they negatively impact the present-day as well as tomorrow.
What, then, is sustainable transportation? Any option that moves people or goods while impacting the environment minimally. Walking
and bicycling are the most sustainable, using no energy except for leg power and consuming very little or no resources. And public
transportation moves large numbers of people at once while also saving space, as one negative impact of cars is that activities tend to
spread out through the process of sprawl, creating the need to travel greater distances to obtain goods or get to work.
As such, to a large extent transportation can be made more sustainable through urban design. The closer together we locate
shopping and entertainment centers, the easier it is for public transport to get us there, and the less reliant we are on cars. And cars
themselves can be more sustainable by running on clean fuels or on technologies, like hybrids, that use less fuel. Better yet, cars of the
not-too-distant future will be powered by fuel cells, which run on hydrogen and spew no pollution. Ideally, that hydrogen will be made
from water, using power from solar energy, thus creating no pollution at that point in the process, either.
In the realm of farming, sustainable agriculture in its ideal form provides a living for those who farm and supports the local
community's needs while maintaining the natural ecology of the farm and its surrounding environment. According to the National Safety
Center (NSC), a sustainable farm produces crops without damage to the farm's ecosystem, including the soil, water supplies and
other adjoining resources. Sustainable agriculture is also intergenerational, says NSC, in that it seeks to pass on to future generations
a conserved natural resource instead of one that has been depleted or polluted.
Some examples of sustainable agriculture include avoiding chemicals, rotating crops, and choosing crops that suit the climate,
so as to reduce the need for chemicals and preserve the long-term fertility of the soil. In light of modern developments, some might add
that avoiding genetically modified crops would also fit with the sustainable model, given the uncertainty of their impact on ecosystems
and personal health.
Robert Gilman of the Context Institute defines sustainability as extending the Golden Rule through timeDo unto future
generations as you would have them do unto you. Meanwhile, Paul Hawken of the Natural Capital Institute offers an equally concise
summary: Leave the world better than you found it, take no more than you need, try not to harm life or the environment, make amends
if you do.

A Message from James Twyman, Peace Troubador, The Beloved Community
Beloved Friends,
The Season For Non-Violence Concert tour has ended but the work of transformation continues. There are a few things I've noticed
after performing for 64 straight days all over the US:
1. The world needs each one of us to step forward as dedicated spiritual peacemakers.
2. People everywhere want to be part of a new solution.
3. The time is NOW!
My goal is to offer opportunities to assist in this global transformation, and I know you'll find your own unique path of service. If you've
been sensing this call and feel you are being guided to serve as a Minister of Peace, I would like to invite you to join our next "Seminary
of Spiritual Peacemaking" class. Over 500 people from around the world have trained directly with me to amplify their gifts, creating
peace everywhere they go. If you would like more information on the program simply go to www.emissaryoflight.com and click the
"Seminary" button. We would love to welcome you and watch you soar to new heights.
Jerusalem Hug:
Would you like to be part of one of the most profound peace experiments ever envisioned? If so, I hope you'll consider joining me in
Israel for the "Jerusalem Hug." Imagine over 5000 people wrapping their arms around the Old City of Jerusalem and sending their
energy to heal this holy land. You'll also join me and others on a life changing journey through the holy sites of Israel, touching and
feeling the energy of the great prophets and saints. There are only a few places left and you'll have to respond immediately since the
trip begins May 17. For more information visit: www.206tours.com/beloved/
Most of you know that I've worked with Doreen Virtue for many years and honor the wonderful gifts she has shared with so many
people. She has a very special program attached to her latest book that I wanted to let you know about. I hope you'll read this
information and join us.
Blessings,

A Little Bit About Paneurythmy from Raphael
Each feeling gives birth to energy. A feeling that is shared multiplies the energy tenfold. A collective feeling creates a mighty energy,
but the individual feeling must be strained and the mutual collective feeling must be harmonized. Therein lies the entire reason for the
weak effect of contemporary feelings; almost no state of intensified feeling is observed today. Yet, what a great reality would be
reflected in the exaltation of a myriad of harmonized sentiments. The ancients called feeling the forge of power. Verily, how majestic
is the feeling of mutual love. No less is the power of mutual gratitude. Invincible is the feeling of self-sacrificing heroism. Thus
beautiful towers and citadels can be constructed. But from where will harmonization come? Not from the reason or the
circumvolutions of the brain, but from the heart, from Light. Only the feeling of wrath will we leave to the dark ones. Among the
murky red sparks there will be no harmony. Heart, p. 278 (agni yoga books)
Sometimes let your heart converse with the Higher World. This conversation can be held in many tongues. Perhaps the heart will
gather in its memory hours from many lives. Perhaps the conversation will be a silent one, without precepts and advice, only
ascending and strengthening in ascension; there may be the silence of gratitude or the silence of the power of readiness. The flame
of the heart is kindled in striving toward unification with the Higher World. Only the heart will find the way to Hierarchy. The heart will
strengthen itself by the power of the Highest. Only the heart will be a stronghold in battle. Heart, p. 41
People do not want to imagine how many dangers take place around them. How many times the Highest Forces and participants in
the Subtle World have saved them! But mankind assumes that if the day has passed nothing has threatened. Such a trend of
thought deadens the embryo of the sense of gratitude, yet without this feeling humanity cannot succeed. Instead of gratitude a
demand appears and then a threat. But one cannot cross by a threat, just as one cannot do so on nettles. Pitiful are the threats
against the Highest Powers! There is nothing more disintegrating than threats. The heart withers from the dust of threats. Heart, p.
524
"you never change things by fighting the existing reality. to change something, build a new model that makes the existing model
obsolete." r. buckminster fuller

Peace Campaign"
A SAVAGE SOCIETY LIVES
IN A STATE OF WAR" !
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism
is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the Leader
will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will
offer up all of their rights unto the Leader and gladly so. How do I know?
For this is what I have done... And I am Caesar
But
