Re: National participation in international event called 7 Days of Rest from January 1 - 7, 2018 - for the healing and replenishment of the planet and all its inhabitants
为了地球和全人类的疗愈及补给需求,全国将参加于2018年1月7日举行的全球性活动——“七日休息”。
In these critical times we are called upon to take courageous and unconventional action to alter our accelerating course towards social and environmental breakdown. 7 Days of Rest is an unprecedented and global event that invites people of all nations, religions, cultures and ages to unite in intention and action for the healing of the planet and all its inhabitants.
The New Year is internationally recognised as a time for renewal and for wise resolutions. To begin 2018 with a collective commitment to honour life and nature, and to move forward as a country in a new healing direction, we are calling on all citizens to co-create national and local events and actions that foster reconnection, wisdom and compassion with ourselves, our families, our communities, with all species and with our natural environment.
The “Rest”, it is hoped, will include a diverse variety of activities that can be easily integrated into time at work or at school or at home with family and friends. The primary objective is for us to unplug, as a nation, from the busyness as usual and the toxins that we unwittingly ingest into our bodies and the body of the Earth.
Some of the nation-wide activities and events that hundreds of different schools, businesses, communities and organisations are invited to co-create include:
以下是我们邀请数百个不同的学校、企业、社区和组织参与共同创造的全国性活动和事件:

We are openly inviting partnerships with organisations, businesses, media, artists, schools, universities and communities to support this ground-preparing event. Through 7 Days of Rest we are dedicating 2018 and beyond to the of healing and replenishment of the country, the planet and all its inhabitants.
All national schools have been sent a specific invitation to invite reflection and co-creation during the holiday period so they may resume with a renewed vitality and fresh outlook on the possibilities of how the last Days of Rest can open a meaningful and pragmatic gateway to a new year of learning about individual, collective and environmental health and healing.
Together, as one united nation, we have a unique opportunity support each other in a transformational week of sharing knowledge, practices, creativity, resources and quality time in service to learning how we can live together in harmony with all life on Earth.
