LYFE III
this summer
Quest University
Squamish 

 We have space this summer for up to 50 young adults (18 to 21 yrs) from all faith communities and spiritual traditions to explore together what sacred texts and sacred activism for the Earth means today. We learn what leaders and people of Spirit are doing to care for the Earth we all share - and the practical ways we can take a lead and make a difference back home.

LYFE ON FACEBOOK and GOOGLE EARTH

Rachael Lythe has organized a Facebook group dedicated to all friends and supporters of LYFE.   Click on here to join in.

We learn from each others faiths, hopes, beliefs and the The Earth Charter :

"We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Towards this end, we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations"
