ONE The Event: Shifting from Fear to Love 9/11/11

"In honoring our past, we know that collaboration is imperative for a peaceful and prosperous future."

Number of hijackers: 19. Number of planes hijacked and crashed: 4. Number of towers which collapsed: 2. Total number of people killed in the attacks on 9/11- 2,819. Number of firefighters and paramedics killed: 343. Number of nations who had citizens killed in the attack: 115.

The numbers can go on and on. And this year, there is one more number. Number of years since the most infamous terrorist attacks on America: 10.

“No problem can be solved from the level of thinking that created it.” –Albert Einstein

Seattle is using this anniversary to respond with a global collaborative effort to shift from fear to love. It is more than just a remembrance, a celebration, a mourning of the lives lost in the attack. It is a movement.

It will culminate in a global synchronized movement of love at 3:46 PM on 9-11-11 to “harness our collective intention to shift to love-based, collaborative solutions that will end the age of fear and isolation”.

Here are ways that you can help:
