“Come my friends,
Let us make no more walls and fences.
Close your eyes. Hold hands.
Let's make peace through asking,
listening, and affirming
the Enchanted Garden on earth
that exists deep, deep, within us.
May we open our eyes to peace as well,
use gardening tools to uplift each other,
spades to confirm peace
visibly before us.

Come, my friends,
let us taste peace in holy foods
forever; smell peace in wild baby herbs
planted where unloved weeds grow;
hear and feel its ode to joy
from the mouth of earth-like Angels
as we dare to dance with water hoses.
--Leslie goldman

A CALL FOR COLLABORATION!

I bear witness to the generosity of “Heart and Soul” inspired local organic
farmers and Industry here to uplift Humanity. For years I have experienced this generosity at the Natural Products Expo West, from my friends in Publishing, and at the local Hillcrest Farmers’ Market in San Diego.

I have put out the Call for Collaboration over the years to my local farmers, who have helped me create magnificent Enchanted Garden Installations of flowers, fresh fruits, grains, and stunning cornucopias that reveal the underlying abundance of nature.

Three years ago, I was having bilateral hip revisions at the State of the art Thornton Hospital in La Jolla. Local farmers supplied organic foods to the Chef My private room--paid for by Medicare-- was created to be a healing haven. My conscious intent was to uplift each nurse, doctor, or PT that came my way. I wanted them to feel Mother Earth’s magnificent “Organic Celebration!”

Doctors were mystified that I could go from using Morphine to Boiron’s Arnica Montana as my only pain relief. I was uplifted knowing that through my own Getting Hip, I was helping the medical profession “Get Hip” to all it could be.

So here we are in the Summer of 2005. Never has there been a need for a Call for Collaboration. The short on-line video “Store Wars” sponsored by my friends the OTA, is making the rounds that enlightens us to “The dark side of the farm” as well as the emergence of the “Organic Rebellion.” Further when you see “The Future of Food,” by Deborah Koons Garcia, who will realize that on our Watch we have lost close to 70% of our supermarket foods to GMO’s.

Despite these heart rending expressions, i am convinced that “The Future of Food” is bright. “The Dark Side of the Farm” is no match for the force of “Organic Celebration!” in the world. And so my friend, I am asking you to help me create this summer-- this very moment as the ultimate expression of Collaboration.

Between August 4-9 more than 60 innovative Sustainable Living experts will converge and join an estimated 400 or more to further define
an emerging 21 Century Vital Energy Healing Model. This event will take place at the International feng Shui Conference at the Hilton San Diego Resort, August 4-8.

INTENDED RESULTS;

The Conference itself August 5-7, will offer “Organic Celebration at the Hilton!” paving the way for organic and biodynamic locally grown foods to find their way into the HIlton network. The free vendor/exhibit area will feature the premiere of the long awaited photo exhibition called “Organic Celebration!.” This is a showing of farmers’ Market foods and activity, images from various Enchanted Gardens, and expressions of Heart and Soul in the world.

I am turning to you--now--to help me fulfill my Seed Dream.

On July 27, I confirmed with Executive Chef Hermann Schaefer menus for our event. Little did he realize at that time that these menus would be supplemented by an outpouring of offerings from the nations leading Heart and Soul Companies. Some of the Promotional offerings of these natural food products will be used in the Hilton Menus and be acknowledged with a beautiful Declaration of Interdependence Poster and as “Organic Celebration Sponsors” recognizing that they were served at the Hilton Hotel.

Other products will be used to raise consciousness at various events in San Diego through the month of August and September--OTA’s Harvest Month.
I will be working along side media Sponsor The Light Connection newspaper, and allies at the Whole Being Weekend to create not only Media events, but deeply felt palpable expressions of Heart and Soul.

“Store Wars” speaks to the Organic Rebellion; I ask you to join me in “Organic Celebration” May the world come to know this Force well now.
