- a new set of laws are going to secure peace in and for the Universe
After three days of intense negotiations at the 1st International Space Peace Symposium, the new laws for Space - The 2019 Space Peace laws - were set up and ratified by the International Space Peace Committee on behalf of the entire Planet.
The new laws will prevent pollution, colonization and exploitation of the resources of Space, and it is the first time that laws like these are enacted globally.
It is a historic moment, an important moment for the Universe, proclaims the Seven-star General, who has been the major diplomatic player in the negotiations of the laws, which have already gone into effect.

"Trance for a Change is a dance event and ceremony in which we, by dancing together will try to change fear of the unknown to openness and curiosity towards the unknown. When dancing together and going into a trance, one produces a natural hormone in the body called oxytocin. This hormone has many good effects, some of them are that they reduce fear and create confidence and generosity towards others.
In the ceremony both personal and global fear and aggressions will be transformed to more open minded and embracing ones.
We will dance for openness, we will dance for welcoming refugees, we will dance for those in need of inclusion.
In Trance for a Change, we make use of ideas from traditional ceremonies in which dance is used as tool to change or effect a situation. We believe that dance has this power.
So come and join us and dance!"
The future is Gold is collection of one hundred positive visions for the future collected in 2012 in collabortion with Ida Kat Balslev.
In winter 2013, just a couple of weeks before the first demonstrations broke out in Brazil, we did the performance "voices for the future" in the streets in down-town Rio de Janeiro, dressed in golden suits and armed with an amplifyer and a microphone. We read positive visions for the future, collected from around the world, aloud to the passers-by, and asked them for their positive vision for the future trying to convince them to share it with the people in the street.
