Planting
the Peace Forest Festival
A fun-filled event for the whole family!
As
part of COS's community outreach, we have created this inspiring
September 11th event at the Pool
Wildlife Sanctuary called "Planting
the Peace Forest Festival." At the festival in 2004, thirty-five
oak trees were planted by members of the community as "a living
prayer that we leave the planet healthy, safe and beautiful for
the generations to come."
For Planting the Peace Forest 2006, our theme will be "Honoring
Multi-Cultural and Multi-Horticultural Life." In 2006, a grove
of various species of trees will be planted as a living metaphor
of how we are stronger as a people in our diversity just as the
natural world is healthiest and strongest in its biodiversity.
Activities will include a Native American fire-making demonstration,
a spiral dance led by grandmothers from different cultures wearing
traditional costumes, and a performance by children enacting stories
from around the world.
