Cloak the Earth People of all faiths create prayer cloths as tangible offerings of healing for the planet. On January 1, 2000, healing rituals will be held to fly the clothprayers and encircle the earth with expressions of love. Everyone is welcome to participate in this project - churches, schools, shelters and community groups can express their hope, dreams and commitment through decorating small, two-yard, white shawis. Once completed, ties are attached to each side of the shawis to connect them together and create prayer chains, and "star-clusters" which consecrate spaces, trees, people, etc. The process of making these tangible prayers elicits dialogue and questioning: What values do we hold dear? How can we change our consciousness to become better stewards for the future? The hope is that these prayer cloths can become metaphors of love, cloaking pockets of the world that are torn and broken. Cloak the Earth USA
