The community art project Temenos Books emerged from the conviction that envisioning an act of compassion is the first step to living it, and that art has the capacity to engage inner dialogue with the external issues of the world.

Sally Linder and I created the project using contemplative practices and ecological awareness games with the invitation to envision images of a positive future, while introducing the Earth Charter, an international document of fundamental principles for building a just, sustainable and peaceful global society. www.earthcharter.org.
