A Global Peace Rock Concert and
World Forgiveness Ceremony
Imagine how life would feel and what inspiring transformations could occur if a worldwide event
offered each person on our planet a moment to forgive and symbolically release the suffering they hold
most deeply in their heart. Imagine how expansively we could love again.
On Christmas 2013 from Bethlehem, near origin of the three major monotheistic religions, comes a
globally televised concert of such joyous and inspirational proportions that Walls will come down and
people of all faiths will come to know the love common to all religious and spiritual teachings. On this
same day, from the most wounded place on our planet, Gaza, comes a televised ceremony that rebirths
this region as a world center for forgiveness.

In Bethlehem, star-studded rock-stars headline a worldwide call for peace and human rights.
Some one hundred miles away, on the shores of the Gaza’s beaches, a towering art structure
symbolically holds testimony to the people of our world who have finally chosen to forgive.
Connected by satellite and as the world now watches, the last note of the Bethlehem concert crescendos.
At this simultaneous moment in Gaza, the world now watches the fiery ceremonial
release of forgiveness as the art structure is ignited and burns to the ground.
