To bring people back to
appropriateness in action and to renew their natural
ability to do no harm to others or to the earth, our
self described task is to offer and exemplify ancient

relating to the earth and to all its inhabitants.
Specific practices would include:
–
Recognizing Beauty
–
Exercises of Interconnectedness
–
Wholeness Engagement
–
Clearing despair, Offering
possibility

Touching Nature
Leadership Conference. In planning our Earth
Charter event, Oct.2005, we generated “Ways of
the World Perspectives”: Human to Human;
Human to Earth; Earth to Human; and Human to Self.
Based on this work & planned structure, we will engage
50-200 sustainability allies of the Greater Philadelphia
area, who are already identified or connected to ASF.
Goal: A circle of decision
makers who have a changed frame with a commitment to
collaborate and support a shift in conversations.

Community Discussion Courses and Conversations That
Matter. Public engagement in small local gatherings
where discussion is a primary mode will introduce the
Ways of the World Perspectives as a context for
awareness and engagement with sustainability topics.
Local gatherings will engage in discussion courses and
symposiums already developed by other organizations, for
example, Northwest Earth Institute, Global Empowerment,
Al Gore, World Café Conversations That Matter, and
Pachamama Alliance.

Business Events. Local business leaders and Fortune
500 company leaders that operate in the Greater
Philadelphia area will experience events where personal
participation is blended with learning unlike any other
“corporate” event that will educate and engage them with
sustainability best practices.

Raising Our Children. Without conscious attention
to the generations to come, what is our future? ASF will
provide access to the best practices in child rearing
through parent/teacher education. ASF will facilitate
children having outdoor experiences connecting children
to nature.
