Vision: The Restoration of Health and Balance to Planet Earth
Mission: Promoting the Restoration of Health and Balance to Planet Earth
Previous Global Healing Project 1 events have demonstrated wonderful success with people participating from all over the world. We’re busily growing and preparing for the next launch on Earth Day 2024, the 54th anniversary of the establishment of Earth Day in the US.
This website is designed to be a hub for the various projects that are inspired by the Project 1 event (described below). It is my vision that something inspired in
Kenya will be a valuable tool for use in Ireland (for instance). I intend to use this site as the “go to” site for ideas for restoration ideas for all countries and communities, (river communities, for instance, that span country boundaries).
BIG NEWS!
This year marks the 10th year to host Global Healing Project 1. To celebrate this amazing achievement, I am hosting a 5-day mindful eating challenge, beginning on Earth Day (April 22nd) to demonstrate tangibly how eating more mindfully positively impacts the environment. To clarify, it does not tell you what to eat, or when. This challenge is an exploration of HOW you eat and the connection to environmental stewardship. Learn more here.
Join the Project 1 Earth Day Movement
Global Healing Projects Movement:
All of our efforts are important and make an impact, no matter how large or small. Our ultimate goal is to cause a paradigm shift in how we view our relationship to the Earth and for this to happen we need 1% of the world’s population to participate (that translates as >80,000,000 people). To achieve this astoundingly bold goal, it is crucial that we get as many environmentally aware and concerned people, groups and organizations as possible on board with the project.
Global Healing Project 1 happens every year on Earth Day (this year April 22). We firmly believe that, in time, the critical mass needed to achieve the tipping point will be reached.
Project1
Project 1 is an annual event that takes place every Earth Day (April 22nd). The goal of Project 1 is to capture the energy and power created when a massive group of people put forward a single intent: restoration of health and balance to the Earth. A tipping point of people with a shared vision can create a tangible environmental impact, and an intangible shift in global awareness and perception of Mother Earth – from a monetary resource and a place we have dominion over to a place we conserve and have stewardship of.
on EARTH DAY, April 22nd of every year,
Take: ONE MINUTE to connect within.
To hear: ONE ACTION STEP that is well within your means and ability
That you can do: ONE TIME to promote positive change on the planet.

NOTE TO TEACHERS:
The purpose of this Earth Day activity (Global Healing Project 1)is to teach children to stretch their mind to open a gateway to new thoughts and ideas about problem solving. The topic here is Earth awareness: allowing new ideas for positive change to restore health and balance to the Earth, but this technique is applicable to everyone’s everyday world. This is but ONE use of a tool that they can utilize in all aspects of their life.
How it works:
Whenever you have a decision to make, or a challenge to address or a problem to solve, get quiet and breathe. This creates space in your mind for new thoughts and ideas to come in. We do this unconsciously while sleeping, which is why people say they came up with a solution for a problem they were working on in a dream or immediately upon waking. Getting quiet to listen within is an awake and active form of the same process. It is making a moment (creating space) to allow new thoughts to enter your mind. Try to make space to allow new thoughts every day.
Earth Day 2015 marked the launch of Project 1, a globally unified effort to promote a paradigm shift in thinking about Mother Earth — from a focus on what is destroying the planet to intent and actions to rejuvenate the health of the planet. The Earth Day Project 1 initiative invites people to look within for fresh ideas to add to what we already are doing.
The goal is to spark new ideas into Earth’s consciousness and to capture the energy and power in numbers created when a massive group of people put forward a single intent: restoration of health and balance to the Earth.
Participation in the Project 1 is for anyone interested in taking one small action to make the world a better place for now and future generations. Individuals or groups, young to old, all are welcome. Participate on your own time and space or make it a social occasion.
WHAT HAPPENS ON EARTH DAY?
WHAT: The Global Healing Project 1 Earth day event asks everyone everywhere to take 1 minute to get quiet and be inspired to do 1 thing 1 time to make the world a better place. I have created a FB page: facebook.com/GlobalHealingProject1 where people can log in and record what they were inspired to do and/or see what others have been inspired to do – the idea being that what you are inspired to do may help someone somewhere else around the globe or vice versa. You can also find us on Twitter: @GlobalHProjects.
