“By working together, there will be peace one day” JEREMY GILLEY
Jeremy Gilley is an actor turned film maker, who in the late 1990's became preoccupied with questions about the fundamental nature of humanity and the issue of peace. He decided to explore these through the medium of film, and specifically, to create a documentary following his campaign to establish a day of ceasefire and non-violence.
In 1999, Jeremy founded Peace One Day, a non-profit organisation, and in 2001 Peace One Day's efforts were rewarded when the United Nations unanimously adopted the first-ever day of global ceasefire and non-violence on 21 September annually - Peace Day.
In 2007 according to the UN, over 100 million people were active on Peace Day, in 192 countries. There were life-saving initiatives in 14 countries, and over 80 activities in Afghanistan alone where 1.4 million children were vaccinated against polio. (YouTube.)

You can see the work that RobertFrancis and the children did on the grounds at High Mesa, near the labyrinth. Barbara & George have finished up the work of patching the cracks caused by drying, then applying a finish. The benches are great. Come enjoy them.
The Mudman is RobertFrancis Johnson from Santa Fe, who conducts workshops, rites of passage, and other opportunities for getting in touch (literally) with the earth. Read more about him here.
