- Sharing across cultures to re- introduce to each other our talents and skills (based on methods of re-skilling, permaculture techniques and sustainability methods) from our local culture to world economies.
- Sale of natural goods and study of ancient practices of herbal medicine distinctly from the roots of African heritage and ancestry.
- Therapeutic movement, dance, music, art and games and exercises for wellness and healthy bodies, minds and spirits.

“We struggle each day making choices for our children and for ourselves while we are also aware we are creating our future. I wonder: what is missing since it seems there is so much here, yet somehow I feel disconnected from the most simple & fulfilling experiences that gave my whole being a sense of wonder and respect for life when I was a child? I believe this project will provide us with a renewed sense we are alive and all of us remain connected to each other in our world today. Possibly, it is one of the most important ways to simply re connect meaningfully with others while sharing a sense of hope in own lives and beyond.”
