It is planned that these experiments would test the power of group intention to lower violence in number of areas around the world noted for high levels of violence. For hundreds of years we have acted against nature by defining ourselves as separate from our world.

What is now called for, in the midst of the continuing crises in our current way of life, are measures far more radical than individual instances of economic, political or ecological reform.
