“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way.

“Belonging Day, that's what I'd like to call it. Instead of Australia Day, let's call it Belonging Day and then everyone belongs. Your human existence will only last for a short space of time, and from there you go back to the spiritual essence where everyone is equal.
There is no you're greater than me or I'm greater than you. You just are.”

JRUMPINJINBAH -YUIN ELDER

“An activist is someone who cannot help but fight for something. That person is not usually motivated by a need for power, or money, or fame, but in fact driven slightly mad by some cruelty, some unfairness - So much so that he or she is compelled by some internal moral engine to act to make it better.”

“We can only meet our responsibility by creating and articulating a shared vision. A shared vision of how we want to experience our world. We have to learn how to use the oldest communication technology known to human kind. We have to learn how to have conversations. We have to learn how to have conversations about what we really want, not what we’ll settle for.”

SAM WELLS
Director of the Yunus Social Business Centre, University of Adelaide

“Community is an integral part of the human spirit. We thrive and achieve so much more together. I share yoga, I don’t teach yoga. Positive minded people amplify and elevate the community spirit as a whole. This means a community can respond to and make the most of whatever comes its way.”
