EVENT:
 Operation Heartbeat is a Peaceful Campaign to bring awareness of the need to end the occupation in Iraq and demobilize units currently stationed the Middle East in support of the request made in the Declaration of Peace document that is being endorsed by many organizations.
  
The purpose is to bring together all people from all nations from all walks of life to participate in the Declaration of Peace Action that will commence on Sept 21-28 of 2006.

We are responsible for all life that exists on this planet, first and foremost our children who are our future. Our children love us enough to die for us if we ask them. Let us Love them enough to protect them from an illusion of patriotism that currently exists. Let us remember that 'Patriotism' is to stand up to take right action to protect 'We' the People of the United States of America.  

Let us unite our energies on these dates to raise the vibration of the Universe. Let us speak to the Earth Mother and let her know that we are aware of the state of her health. Most important let us speak to each others hearts and hold the energy of Peace not just for the moment but for every day after today.

Every culture holds the energy of the heartbeat. The drum allows all people to participate in the language of the universe. It is often a form of spiritual expression that allows our spirits to speak to each others heart without saying a word. It is a way to connect to all life without creating disagreements. It is a healing tool to all life.

On September 21-28 2006, your participation in support of ending the occupation in Iraq and bringing our children who want to come home urgently need your help. Your support of Peace is a necessity for the future of our children.

  • Help create a strong vibration to reach the White House by participating in daily drumming from Sept. 21st to the 28th individually or as a group for as long as your heart tells you to.
