Your entry sounds very inspiring and transformative. It is also a bit mysterious- can you explain more about the specific program? What are you three main goals and what is your strategy to achieve them? Who are the potential beneficiaries that you wish to reach, and how does it specifically contribute to ending global slavery?
Thanks- I look forward to hearing more!

1. Three main goals: a) To assist with the awakening of individuals to a new relationship with LIFE. b) To empower individuals in acting to hold our leaders accountable for the abuses, the corruption, and the destruction to our planet, and c) To work with enlightened professionals to lay a foundation for the creation of a step by step plan for structural change, based in LIFE-honouring choices, thoughts and actions.
2. The institutions of leadership will not support this work, so I can only achieve it at this time through presentations and lectures to connect with as many individuals as possible. At a future point, I envision a global conference to bring together various professionals to begin laying this framework. The challenge however, is that time is running out, and the global economy is already showing signs of crashing, which means there will less financial resources to support the work of all the individuals. The Greenprint works at the level where all the problems START, and does not seek resources to put out all the "fires". There has been interest in the possibility of a radio show, and I am waiting to hear further on this.
3. LIFE is the beneficiary (people, natural environment and the ALL THAT IS). My definition of "slavery" is an expanded one..we are ALL "slaves" to this global, corporate and politically corrupt machine. We are all slaves to what we have created on this planet, and this has lead to acts resulting more in the SPECIFIC acts of slavery that you, and many others are very honourably attempting to raise awareness of and resolve. As long as the current structures and institutions are in place, the fire you are attempting to put out, will never be fully put out, because this is not what gives current leadership institutions its power.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask more!
Namaste, peace and love,
Geoff
Hi Jessica,
I apologize that the entry seems vague. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that there is a word limit in Changemakers, so I could not say everything I want to say.
The other reason is that the work I am taking on is MUCH larger in scope than what the vast majority of people are doing. Although each individual, in her or his own right are doing some great work and this has the POTENTIAL to help create change in the long run.
It has been my personal experience however, that all of this great work requires funds and resources, something that we are rapidly beginning to lose control over. It has also been my experience, given information that I have come across, is that most, if not all current governments do NOT want "peace", because their very justification for their power comes in keeping people living in separation and fear.
It has been my experience also in watching North American elections that people seem to keep buying into the false promises of politicians from the same political parties. If we keep doing what we have always done, we will keep getting what we always got.
It is the corrupt policies of our institutions of leadership that seek to keep people from thinking for themselves, for if people were to do so, in other words, "remember" their connection to, and energetic relationship with LIFE, that people would be making the LIFE-honouring choices that those is power do not want people to be making, for it would take away much of their "reality" (power) as they know it.
To answer your questions, I'll have to send this first, as I am running out of room! ;-) I'll reply again.
