Declaration:

It is a gift of the Human condition that critical circumstances are generally met with spontaneously creative innovations that speak immediately to the challenge at hand. This is true in our local situations, whether household or community. Finding now that due to the measurably global impact of our local actions, our definitions must grow to include all the peoples of the world, because these impacts cumulatively and seriously can be seen to threaten our viability as men, women, and children on this planet, as well as the viability of global systems that sustain any and all life as we know it.

As a response in kind, we choose to form cells and organs of perception and action to meet these challenges that are now widely recognized to impinge on all the peoples of our planet. These challenges are personal, spiritual, economic, psychological, and political in scope, encompassing a re-examination of the very nature of our being as humans and our roles within ourselves, within our families, within our communities, within all levels of our commercial and financial systems, and within all levels of our govern-mental structures.

To these ends we unite in circles of group action, that like the rings of a small stone tossed in the water reach to all the shores of perception and action as waves of change. Remembering that the root meaning of "eco-" means "house," these changes are collectively intended to harmonize with and support the laws and means of nature without harm to its systems on any level of ecology, as Stewardship, of this, our global home.

We know that there is no certainty or law that says our collective experience, encompassed as the Human experiment, will succeed. Nevertheless it is our will as the masters of our individual ship and collective fleets of soul, to steer as the Star of success innate in each of us in our synergized endeavor to grow into an unexpected and yet abundant fulfilment of our highest possibilities.
