In these trying times of environmental, social, economic, and political change, the deliberate decision to promote peace in the world is essential for our human survival. If we are to really change our planet, we must begin by changing ourselves. We must learn to honor our planet as a living being, and interact with her with love and awareness. As Mother Teresa says, "I would rather go to promote
peace than go to an anti-war rally." This is what Planet Heart's ANNUAL EARTH DAY EVENT in NYC has been doing on April 22nd for Earth Day since 2007. World Peace Earth Day Celebration is the brain child of Event Producer Andrew Kaen. Andrew was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma tumor in 2005. A professional photographer raised in NYC with a passion for spiritual healing, he found solace in spirituality and healing and decided to share that with the world. Andy says, "I created these events because after my operation that removed the tumor, I knew that the human spirit was more powerful than any hospitals. I wanted to spread the healing energy universally by creating a World Peace Earth Day event." In 2007, concerned with the state of the world, Andrew started an annual event for world peace on earth day, forming PLANET HEART, a project of We, The World, a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization (www.wetheworld.org). The mission of Planet Heart is to help bring all humans together in harmony on a global scale and to cultivate a world of peace, helping us to realize that WE ARE ALL ONE. Rick Ulfik, Founder of WE, THE WORLD says, "Andrew Kaen has put together a phenomenal event that is not only fun but makes an impact on World Peace. His passion and tireless dedication has shown us that we can all make a difference in helping the world." If one takes the letter, “h,” from the end of the word “Earth” and moves it to the beginning, it forms the new word, “Heart.” This is Planet Earth, yet, we are also living on Planet Heart. Where our hearts beat as one - We Are One. We just have to remember. Some of us are and it is our job to spread this energy and do things that make a difference. Many of us, like We, The World, are working to make the world a better place for us and for our children. We are living in very auspicious times. People in spiritual communities and organizations, and the “New Age” Movement already know this, but we need to wake up the others who are still sleeping. The rate of awareness is increasing. So, this is the meaning behind the name,Planet Heart. By being a Project of We, The World, we aim to extend their mission and believe that Planet Heart’s mission is at the heart and core of that of We, The World. Logo Design By Elana Stanger St. Angel
