The May 24-25 summit is attracting hundreds of people from many walks of life -- drawn by the event's experience and expressions awakening the world to our Oneness.

In the beautiful Argentine capital, you will join diverse kindred spirits coming together to educate and connect with our Selves and each other and to harness and channel the collective energy in our Oneness to progress the Humanity's Team movement forward.

Speakers will include:

  • Humanity's Team founder Neale Donald Walsch, whose many best-selling books promote the joy of Oneness (his latest is Happier Than God).
  • HT Worldwide Coordinating Director Steve Farrell, who believes the time has come to create a planetary shift in which people do not merely know themselves to be one with everything, but feel this unity.
  • Summit and Argentina HT Coordinator Ciro Gabriel Avruj, who will speak about feeding Oneness activism by mystical truth, passion, wisdom and stamina, which provides us with a wholly new level of sacred truth and power.
  • Members of HT's coordinating Global Council, who will talk about how this new level of sacred truth and power is essential both for the transformation of the human race and the preservation of the planet.
  • British spiritual writer Timothy Freke, who believes Oneness must be returned to Western religions (his Jesus Mysteries inspired The Da Vinci Code).
  • Renowned intuitive Colleen-Joy Page of South Africa, whose near-death experiences transformed her life so much that she now wonders how she could ever have imagined herself separate from anyone or anything else.
  • Global Oneness Project founder and Director Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, who managed the highly successful independent documentary ONE ... The Movie and whose continuing work is a shining example of using the power of the media to promote Oneness.
  • Dutch-born consciousness philosopher Robert Happé, who sees a Oneness-based world renaissance ahead due to a global expansion of our understanding of our Selves and our possibilities as humans.
  • Rabbi Sergio Bergman of Buenos Aires, who sees all of humanity as part of one Great Chain of Being and God's unity with all life as the "missing message" needed to create societal peace, harmony and happiness.
  • Delegates from the Argentine Foreign Ministry's Peace Council, which seeks to produce peace on Earth by helping people experience peace in their hearts, stemming from a holistic unity.

See the event description below for more information. Other speakers are pending.

Throughout the weekend, we will spread joy and share love. We will choose to live our lives as demonstrations of our highest and grandest beliefs. We will demonstrate through our very being -- for us and for others -- what living the Oneness of the New Spirituality can be like.

And in that grand state of being -- in that state of love -- we will also meet with each other, share information, enhance relationships, inspire each other -- and have fun -- all in the interest of creating the experience of the joy of Oneness!

You can be part of this extraordinary two-day experience for just $90 (U.S.). Meals and lodging are additional. Humanity's Team is getting special low room rates.

an experience of all-consuming oneness and all-embracing love."

Get on Board! HT Love Tour 2008 is on its Way

By NANCY SEYMOUR

What better way to spend your summer than to take part in the Humanity's Team Love Tour 2008!

The first tour took place throughout Europe last year and was a success, with many folks coming out to meet us ... join us ... have fun ... learn more ... laugh ... dance ... and see each other eye-to-eye through the Eyes of Oneness.

This year, from June 1 to at least July 26, we're touring the United States and Canada in a pair of recreational vehicles -- and might come to your town or city!

So far, the HT recreational vehicles, complete with Oneness banners and a Humanity's Team logo, are stopping in Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington state -- and then continuing to Canada's British Columbia. We would like to expand the tour to include other U.S. states and Canadian provinces.

Let us know if you would like us to stop near you by writing to info [at] lovetour2008 [dot] org

Others on our core "road crew" include Ejvind Jacobsen of Denmark, who coordinated the Unconditional Love Tour 2007 in Europe, and Martin Bühler, who is overseeing the Web presence of this year's tour. Ejvind is also the Humanity's Team global Teammate Care coordinator and HT Denmark's country coordinator. Martin is also HT Switzerland's country coordinator.

Besides Europe, teammates participating in the North American tour so far are coming from Greenland and Peru, as well as the United States and Canada.

MULTIPLE-DAY EVENTS

We'll stay for several days in many locations, with numerous activities and opportunities to meet other teammates and people interested in seeing Who We Are as individuals and as a movement.

Activities will take place in houses of worship, places of reverence (including a Navajo Nation holy site), open spaces (including a spiritual vortex in the Red Rocks of Sedona, Arizona) and teammates' homes, among other locations.

We also plan to ride our banner-festooned Oneness vehicles in a U.S. Independence Day parade July 4 on Washington state's beautiful Whidbey Island, near Seattle, on the northern boundary of Puget Sound.

Teammates will host us and co-create the activities at each stop. Our intent is to have full, multiple-day events in at least nine locations.

Teammates will also provide us with "splash spots" -- places to rest our heads, get a meal and a warm shower and then get back on the road to meet with and have fun with other spirits.

We'll begin our journey at a very special place -- Morehouse College in Atlanta, a center of the U.S. civil rights movement, where Lawrence E. Carter Sr. , dean of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel and religion professor, will be the keynote speaker. He will speak about Oneness as an underlying thread of King's and Mohandas Gandhi's social movements.

Some of you may remember Dr. Carter from the extraordinary opening-night keynote address he delivered at the Humanity's Team "Seeds of Transformation" conference at New York's Bard College in 2005.

Other speakers at Morehouse will include Humanity's Team Worldwide Coordinating Director Steve Farrell, who believes the time has come to create a planetary shift in which people do not merely know themselves to be one with everything, but feel this unity.

Does the tour sound exciting to you? It is! So come join us! Do you want to help, with wealth, wisdom or work, or have a question? Then please write to info [at] lovetour2008 [dot] org. There are so many ways to be part of the U.S. Love Tour that they're too numerous to mention here.

To learn more, logon to www.lovetour2008.org.

We Are All One, so let's practice it -- and have fun being it! See you on the road!

Nancy Seymour is the Humanity's Team Coordinator for the World's Regions.
