TRADUCTION
The New Earth Manifesto is a vision of what humanity can put in place, based on the values of the heart: Love – Truth – Freedom – Equity – Brotherhood – Peace. More than 200 people have worked together to see how this could be concretely implemented in all dimensions of daily life. This gave 9 chapters:
- Health of all life: How to act all together to be all fulfilled and in good health.
- Development of potential: How to allow children and everyone else to let all their potential flourish.
- Cycles of production/economy: How to implement a living economy that respects everyone, all cultures, all kingdoms and the planet?
- Living spaces: How to develop new efficient living spaces in harmony with all life?
- Administration: How to implement a simple and efficient administration at the service of all?
- Law, guardians of the law and guardians of peace: How to bring back justice and peace to the center of the mission of all civil servants, so that they become true guardians in the noble sense of the term.
- Money: How to give back to money the values of equity, generosity and fruitful exchange for all?
- Media : How to put information at the service of evolution, of the good of the world and of the well-being of everyone ?
- Supreme Principle – Each of our actions and each universal law are always oriented towards the well-being of all life in respect, compassion and full awareness of the earth and its diversity.

Conference
Every human being is the humus of the New Earth
Franz (Germany), Catharina (Austria), Coco (Switzerland) and Priska (Germany), from left to right above, talk about the ‘human humus’ that we are and what the wonderful world of humus with its symbioses is teaching us. By understanding what the mission of each of us is and by putting our talents and gifts at the service of each other and of a higher collective project, real miracles happen here on earth, and the paradise we thought we had lost gets closer every day.

Conference
Learning through the art of questioning for a responsible society
How can we encourage citizen responsibility for society and the environment through the art of questioning…
Since very young, Annelieke is fascinated by the beauty of co-creation: the magic of feeling part of a bigger whole, shivering of joy and inspiration. A flow that opens greater possibility, a “touch” of the sacred…
What is it that sparks this alchemy? How can it be invited in places of stagnation, despair, fragmentation? How can the unique gifts of each Being be welcomed, valued, awakened, find expression, and participate in the subtle weaving of the tapestry of Life?
When she moved from The Netherlands to Portugal, in 2005, a whole new world opened through engaging with the land. Plants, seasons and cycles became her teachers. Bees and the forest her special companions and allies.
She loves to explore who we can be as “global gardeners”, weaving these skills in our daily lives. And to share the wonder that comes with this bond, with people of all ages.
In 2019, she co-founded the BeeWisdom network, together with her teacher and colleague Sandira Belia. She is currently living in Alentejo, South-west Portugal, where she supports land owners and bee lovers in this co-creative journey.
Conference
The world of bees: treasures of wisdom for life and education
Annelieke shares some experiences of a path where bees and the forest transmit us treasures of wisdom for life and education. An introduction to the magic of bees and the possibilities of relationship and co-creation with them in the concrete and subtle world.
A journey of exploring and living the magic flow of greater possibility, in which the unique gifts of each Being are welcomed, valued, awakened, find expression, and participate in the subtle weaving of the tapestry of Life.
