Earth Flag City

Recently a friend of mine turned me onto an experience that has reshaped my understanding of the possibility of real change in our lifetime concerning earth adapted humans and the possibility of success in this endeavor.  This experience was the Chico Earth Day Celebration in Chico, California.

Although I did not attend I have been immersed in emails, videos, articles and images from those who were there and from the feeling that I get in my heart of hearts, I wish I had been there too. 

It took me back to my childhood riding around in a Volkswagon bus with my parents who had one foot in the hippie movement and one foot in the yuppie movement.  They later became known as yippies.  I remember telling myself that I was going to live for the Earth all my days and while it took me many years to finally live up to that promise I am completely joyous that I am indeed doing so.

One outstanding feature of this celebration was that Chico installed and flew over 400 Earth Flags thoughout the city limits.  They are quickly becoming known as “Earth Flag City”.

Another breathtaking experience that was available at this amazing event was Daniel Dancer’s Living Sky Art.  Daniel has for many years involved students and now corporations in a collective experience to develop what he calls “Sky Sight” or seeing the big picture.  His work is foundationally inspiring and massively timely.  I would encourage anyone who reads this to visit Earth Flag TV and enter the Earth Lounge and then click on Into The Sky to see this video!  It will change your life forever.  I know it did mine.
