The following is to be the mantra of the conference:

Come join with the Earth and with each other.
     To bring new life to the land
     To restore the waters
     To breathe the air

Come join with the Earth and with each other.
     To renew the forests
     To gaze at mountains
     To imagine possibilities

Come join with the Earth and with each other.
     To celebrate and dance
     To bask in sunlight
     To sing the song of the stars

Come join with the Earth and with each other.
     To recreate the human community
     To promote justice and peace
     To cherish children

Come join with the Earth and with each other.
     To Re-connect!
     To Re-kindle!
     To Inspire!

Her SPIRIT and Yours!
