Part Three - Community - Spiritual Transformation

"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

PART THREE: The Medicine Wheel

We will demonstrate: that the "ideal" community can be established any where in the world. We can start with the healing and spiritual transformation processes for the individual, family and community - using traditional aboriginal healing practices, ceremonies, games, and other cultural activities. Also, there are many other innovative ways to stimulate, motivate, and encourage the people to take part in the rebuilding of their community.

The physical development of the community will take place by using the alternatives or appropriate technologies, which are available to us. Some learning and research will have to take place in this area. The physical development of the community must fit-in with the culture of the people and not be harmful to the environment.
