If you could change the world, would you? In this hour-long documentary activists, authors, healers, mystics, ecstatic dancers, educators and others share their visions of how we create a more peaceful experience on planet Earth. A message that we heard repeatedly as we spoke with these inspiring people was, 'Peace begins with me.' The powerful energy of peace is generated in the heart of the individual and radiated outward into the world. Others are drawn to this higher vibration and in this way, one soul at a time, we erase the habits of millennia and contribute to the spiritual evolution of humankind.
