Richard A. Fletcher is a recognised Spiritual - Inner Life Coach a World Peace Leader. He started his spiritual path as a young 7 year old searching for where God was. Due to his personal finding and spiritual experiences started helping all those around him with advice about all kind of issues. His natural spiritual awareness allowed him to observe and learn from the way adults behave.
Richard will share:
How we can understand one's inner self and others.
How we can change from Fear to Joy and Happiness just by changing our
mind.
How to regain our power by removing blame to release the past.
How we can improve our relationships.
How to feel Happy, Joyful and Stress Free.
Book and Learn from him how you can contribute to create and maintain, your inner Peace.
He says World Peace starts in the heart! However you must not forget to have your feet in the ground and enjoy being human to enjoy our God given freedom of choice!
His remarkable recovery from Polio, Acute Nephritis and drowning were miracles that for a long time he did not understand and as he grew, his spiritual experiences became the norm, however he did not know why his life was spared so many times.
Today as Founder World Peace 2000 International leads people in 28 countries around the world and is able to reach some 79,000,000 people via UNESCO MANIFESTO 2000 and via affiliations with over 40 international organisations that are promoting his World Peace 2000 International effort.
He says he is only doing what he was asked by God to do on 11 September 1999 (just two years before the NY terrorist attack)
As Richard is perfectly aware of God's given Freedom of Choice his Personal Life Coaching Training enable others to understand their own individual role and personal abilities to bring Inner Peace to themselves and others - not by persuasion, nor coercion, by simply assisting them to realise and embrace their own innate qualities and passions to extend and recreate a better connection to our spiritual source.
Lady Isira Sananda is an Ambassador for World Peace 2000 International and a recognised Spiritual Master she will conduct meditations to embrace Peace adding to Richard's Blue Mountain teachings.

Support 1453.
Dear World Peace 2000 International Friends,
Australia and its people are well known around the world for the rich mixture of Cultures, Nationalities, Ideologies, our Free Easy Going Spirit, our Arts, our people's commitment to Nature, our Mateship and our many inventions that are contiguously making changes around the world. All these combinations in my layman opinion forms the perfect example for the world to take notice of our World Peace Model!
We as Australians represent the most diverse ideologies and the feelings of millions of migrants who like myself have for ever enriched our Australian society, therefore as Founder of World Peace 2000 International and as Messenger UNESCO MANIFESTO 2000 I am proud to be associated and to endorse the joining of two of our largest Migrant Communities, as one so the people of these wonderful communities are able to pass a message of eternal forgiveness and peace between them, via the example shown by Project 1453.
I welcome the people of Australia and the world to participate and to support this unique cultural effort and I also encourage and request for this unique event to be copied by other nationalities who may still have conflicting ideologies or views with neighboring countries .
All of us must take our Australian Peace example as a model for World Peace for our present and future generations as it is never too late to let go of our differences, as we must focus in what we have in common! It is only when we learn from our historical background and forgive others that we can understand why we are all - One Global Family!
Right around the world we are right now in need of good news and hope especially in times of our present conflicts so I have informed and listed this historical event with UNESCO Manifesto 2000 as part of our program for Peace and Non Violence which ends in 2010.
Since I have attended the organising committee meetings, I have become fully aware of the length and diplomatic steps the organising committee has taken to ensure a perfect balance of opinions, research and presenters views to create this unique joining of our Greek and Turkish communities in Melbourne Australia and therefore I am proud to offer my warmest and sincerest congratulations to the whole 1453 organising committee.
However, I wish to express especial congratulations to; Mr. Terry Papadis, Ms. Susan Aykut and Mr. Paul Kavanagh for their drive and personal dedication to bring this unique peace event to fruition, I thank also Australian Catholic University, Melbourne for their cooperation to stage this event in this wonderful historical building landmark!

World Peace 2000 - Welcomes Chief Arvol Looking Horse.
"World Peace 2000 Angels" joins with Chief Arvol Looking Horse in celebrating his World Peace & Prayer Day Celebrations. "All Nations - All Faiths - One Prayer"
Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre, The Grampians (Gariwerd) Halls Gap Victoria - Australia.
Join us for this 3 day Gathering to share Wisdom and solutions for Peace from around the World!
HISTORY and MISSION: The World Peace and Prayer Day mission was founded in 1996 by Chief (Dr) Arvol Looking Horse, Spiritual Leader of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nations (collectively known as the Great Sioux Nation). Along with thousands of concerned citizens of the Americas he began to promote this Wolakota event. (Lakota word for Peace).
This vision was extended to the Global community and is now pursuing a United Nations world proclamation declaring June 21 (summer/winter solstice) as World Peace and Prayer Day (Honoring Sacred Sites Day) where all nations and all people join together spiritually and pray for the healing of Earth and all beings to live in sustainable harmony and peace.
We are aware the issue of peace, the fear of violence through terrorism and war is in peoples' thoughts at this time. We are aware that many people in the world are suffering through poverty, disease and famine. We are aware that our planet's existence is under threat from environmental damage. We worry for the legacy we are leaving for our children's generation. Our current world social, environmental and climatic conditions have come as no surprise to the WPPD Peace Delegation.
Chief Looking Horse, along with the World Peace and Prayer Day (WPPD) delegation have been traveling the four corners of the earth to enact World Peace and Prayer Day to bring awareness of the need for all people to join spiritually for Mother Earth's and all living beings' survival. This international delegation of peace leaders, cultural representatives, multi-faith religious dignitaries and representatives of social and environmental causes have made significant progress towards achieving the goals of this mission, while retaining the uniqueness of identity and beliefs that come through the diversity of this forum.
World Peace and Prayer Day is to recommit ourselves to ecological principles for sustainable living through forums, exhibits, and education - to support a better future for our children. This event is synchronized with gatherings at Sacred Sites around the world. If you are unable to attend, please join this global endeavour and gather with friends at a local Sacred Site for Peace.
We have been very warmly invited as guests by the Traditional People of Brambuk at Gariwerd to walk their land and share this 3-day peace gathering. The theme for this 8th year of prayer is "COMING HOME² and will offer Youth forums, indigenous and religious speakers, sustainable living exposition, traditional music, dance and more.
"We are now in a time of prophecy, when Animal Nations would stand upon Mother Earth a different color than their natural being and be born white. They are speaking to us with the only voice that can be heard. These messages are of a blessing and yet a great warning. It is a time of great urgency to unite for Peace and Harmony upon Mother Earth in order for our future generations to survive. Mother Earth is not a resource, but rather the source of life itself." Chief Arvol Looking Horse 19th generation Keeper of the White Buffalo Calf Bundle
CEREMONIAL INFORMATION: Our gracious hosts from Gariwerd will perform opening Ceremonies with Chief Arvol and Traditional Elders also leading a ceremonial Horse Ride carrying the prayers of our Children's survival. The ceremonial activity will conclude with all attending represented faiths and beliefs creating a circle, offering prayers, in conjunction with the Global community. Due to the condition of The Sacred Bundle, it will not be travelling to Australia, however, the essence and vision of the Bundle will be with us. Chief Arvol will bring a representative ceremonial pipe bundle.
EVENT PROTOCOL: This is a drug and alcohol free event. There is also event protocol regarding drumming, photography, cultural sensitivity and dress code women are requested to wear long skirts/dress or sarongs at the Ceremonies. For the complete WPPD 2003 Protocol, please visit our website so you can carry the Elders wishes with you as you attend the gathering.
ACTIVITIES: The days are highlighted with speakers and workshops, singers and dancers from Aboriginal, Native American, Maori and other indigenous and invited religious and cultural organizations. WPPD 2003 will also include presentations of art, multimedia and performances by indigenous youth. This year's theme is directed at Youth in Culture and the Arts.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST
