The World Healing Forum
A new kind of world forum — open to all who understand that the planet is a live entity in need of healing.
Today, there are two important world fora: The World Economic Forum — WEF (Davos, Switzerland) and The World Social Forum — WSF (itinerant, but mostly in Brazil). Two very different instances, audiences, and objectives.
The WEF was created for the economic and financial elites of the world, where the state of the world is debated, and other add-on topics have been incorporated over the years (e.g., to listen to spiritual leaders). The WSF was born as an anti-WEF, by politically progressive professionals and social movements around the world. At the beginning, this forum was dominated by European professionals and leaders. The WSF is more akin to debating environmental issues and concerns; one of its key products has been the development of the notion of eco-socialism.
The ZIHT/PTF will create The World Healing Forum — WHF.
This WHF will be open to people from all walks of life who understand that the planet is a live entity, that it needs healing, and that are willing to make a contribution to that healing — healing nature, healing all the systems which are collapsing (e.g., economics, politics, social, ethnic), healing all sentient beings, and healing the five elements of life: water, fire, earth, wind and space.
It will go far beyond environmentalism. It will also establish the ground for the empowerment of citizens at the local and global levels, for the right of nature, and for the needed institutional structures so that we adopt a planetary approach to international relations.
