Statement of Purpose: Full Version


From the grass roots - a wave of goodwill and the desire to succour our ailing planet and all its inhabitants has been growing and gaining momentum.

In the midst of great darkness, this light of the will-to-good is rising, swelling and making itself felt at all levels of society, in all walks of life, in every country of the globe; each unit expressing themselves in their own unique ways, according to the gifts they have been given and the light of their own soul.

More and more people are awakening to the fact that living from competition and greed has left us fragmented, destitute of meaning, feeling isolated and ill at ease. Rising against this, or in spite of it, the spirit of goodwill is gaining ground – and finding that ground rich and fertile.

Many of us express our heart`s aspirations in sharing what we have gained through experience in our chosen way of life. Some of us teach, others pursue meditative activism, enlightened agriculture, social work, art, education – the list is endless as our numbers grow.

Perhaps the most distinguishing features of this goodwill are a spirit of mutual cooperation and the lack of authoritarianism and dogma. Just as each organ of the body is essential for the well-being of the whole, so each individual unit of this wave of goodwill is essential if we are to lift the heavy burden besetting our planet and its inhabitants.

This is no exclusive club; no member is more equal than another. We are linked by our common ideal, and all who share that ideal are members.

Some of us have guides or mentors; others accept no authority other than the light of their own heart. It doesn`t matter. In our will-to-good we stand firmly united.

We do not regard ourselves as authority figures. We are all fellow-pilgrims on this journey to a greater life, still works in progress, still very human. We seek only to offer our gifts to the common good, and gain the reward of a fuller, more meaningful life, a richer heart, and broader, ever-more-inclusive love. We regard ourselves, and those to whom we reach out, as friends.

The purpose of this website is to provide a venue where people can learn of some of our activities, and those who wish to join us may find expression. As individuals pursuing our own dharma, we may be effective. As a network of collaborating friends, our effect can perhaps be more widely felt, our impact more profound.

We humbly invite you to meet us and, if your heart so moves you, to join us.
