In addition to the keynote speaker, there will be six types of programs focusing on:

1) Change in Mental Attitude - In order to make a difference, we have to believe we can do it. We must change our innate belief systems regarding our ability to effect change, as well as our attitudes toward our planet, animal life and our fellow human beings.

2) Motivation - Often, people need to be educated either to invoke their compassion, or to show why it is in their best interests to engage in certain behaviors. Once they receive the facts, they are likely to become more motivated to change. This area includes films and presentations.

3) Actions - What can we do? - These include activities, ranging from the practical and simple for the average person, to the complex for the more dedicated server. Anyone can serve and, if we serve in large enough numbers, we can make a difference.

4)  Health and Well-being - We live in a busy, stress-filled world. It will be difficult to have the energy to contribute to world betterment if we do not have adequate ways of relieving stress and maintaining our health. This block of programs helps participants to manage their stress so that they feel able to contribute to a better world.

5)  Values - In order to create lasting impact, our values as a society have to change from that of a material, consumerism consciousness to one that values compassion, inclusiveness, Goodwill and a humanitarian consciousness. This block seeks to encourage widespread expression of the principles of sharing, cooperation and responsibility.

6) Spirituality/higher Ideals - Spirituality provides meaning and purpose to approximately 95% of the World's population. For many, it provides the foundation upon which they base their lives. Spirituality uplifts and provides an ideal toward which to work, and is crucial to creating a better, more compassionate world. This block of programs stresses the unity among all spiritual traditions and is non-denominational and non-sectarian in nature.
