Welcome to this exciting international conference!

Dear Participants:

Jan and I welcome each of you to this exciting gathering of participants from 4 nations to focus on this timely topic in our human epoch which is discouraging to many and hopeful to a few. We look forward to Dr. David Peat's presentation which will initiate our foundation towards viewing perhaps old dilemmas in new ways. The following days will offer even more from a variety of perspectives on how human transformation can and will unfold. There are 8 of us who will be traveling from Colorado to Pari, and onto Jordan, where Jan and Phyllis are priviledged to share the community development projects as current works in progress. We are honored to be at this conference as it is substantive on its own. In addition, for those of us journeying on to the Middle East, we find it essential to our preparation to engage in the potential fruits of this conference and the rich exchange that will occur.
We love every day spent in Italy, and have great respect for David Peat and Maureen Doolan and their pioneering achievements.
