SEEDS OF PEACE

A Bioregional Workshop for Ecological Restoration, Reconciliation & the Renewal of Desolate Places
Presented by Template: Terra Nova • AS PART OF Haven (Global Network-State of Peace)

COMING WINTER 2026

Across all the holy books — Torah, Tanakh, Bible, Qur’an — the same promise rises:

“They shall rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated.” — Isaiah 61:4

Seeds of Peace is a hands-on ecological workshop and community rite designed to help fulfill that prophecy in our time.

Today, the Middle East trembles.
Families in Lebanon, Palestine, and Israel live with fear and uncertainty as land continues to fracture — socially, spiritually, ecologically.
The threat to Southern Lebanon grieves my heart.

And yet, the land still calls for healing.
The people still deserve peace.
And the Earth still remembers how to renew itself when given care.

Seeds of Peace is where that renewal begins.

What Seeds of Peace Is

A 1–3 weekend immersive workshop (NYC-based, traveling in 2026) where participants learn:

  • The Miyawaki Method of ecological afforestation

  • How to rebuild entire ecosystems, not just plant trees

  • The science of soil, water, and microclimate regeneration

  • Field analysis in a nearby forest

  • How to replicate native forest patterns back in the city

  • Rituals of peacebuilding practiced through shared meals, dialogue, music and service

At the culmination of the training, participants plant a real forest in New York — the first of many across the world.

All graduates become part of the Forest Corps, the first wave of future Haven land stewards and Seed-Sowers for global restoration.

For Whom

Two parallel tracks:

Youth Track

For Jewish, Arab, and Christian youth — building the peace we wish we inherited.

Adult Track

Open to all denominations, all identities, all seekers, united by the desire to restore land and repair trust.

why now

Because peace begins with land that feels safe.
Because forests teach communities how to breathe together.
Because prophecy must be fulfilled by human hands.

And because Haven — the global network-kingdom we are building — requires living nodes, living forests, living relationships.

Seeds of Peace is the foundation of that future.
A future where Levanta and every Haven node can grow from the same soil:
healing, justice, and the restoration of what has been destroyed.
