When the G20 met in Toronto recently, the world’s press focused on the negative, anger from protestors and police brutality. But as the world leaders discussed our future, a very different gathering was taking place at Grail Spring’s idyllic lakeside retreat center in Bancroft, Ontario, Canada. We arrived at the tent on Saturday morning with no idea of what would happen. Two presenters guided us through a series of videos, beautifully made but revealing the ugly truth of what we are doing to our planet. This event is designed to help us reconnect with our deep concern for our world and our power to make a difference. But be warned, these videos will make you feel. Watching these wonderful animals becoming extinct or their gorgeous natural environments reduced to garbage dumps, the tent went silent, apart from some quiet sobbing. It’s time for a wake-up call. The symposium took us through the challenging questions ‘Where are we?’ and ‘How did we get here?’ to the empowering ‘What’s possible for the future?’ and ‘Where do we go from here?’ A dazzling array of speakers took to the stage - Neal Donald Walsh, author of ‘Conversations with God’, even beamed in with his first ever skype call! This powerful symposium has the real capacity to change the world and is available to anyone to host for free. So join the Pachamama Alliance and get involved. We are the G 6 billion! Together we can shake the zombie-like slumber of the modern world, awaken the dreamer and change the dream.

PositiveTV has a mission to change the paradigm around news. We want news to be solutions oriented and a force for an evolving positive world. We believe that the answer is more dialogue, more exchanges between people, opinions and ideas. We think YOU are the people with the opinions and the ideas.

So we have begun a journey to create a web site that makes you part of the news. Through blogs, forums and emails we want you to decide what we report on. We are really interest in what you think is not being spoken about in the news - what we call "THE ELEPHANT IN THE NEWS".

We are also looking for your participation through our shows:

• The Great Kitchen Table Debate is the first. Simply put we would like to come to your kitchen, sit around the table and hear your conversation.
• Celebrity Shorts, are short videos highlighting a celebrity's thoughts on how to change the world. Of course at PositiveTV anyone with a great idea can be a celebrity.

So send us your ideas, thoughts, concerns and solutions. Tell us about your anger, pain, frustration as well as your hopes wishes and dreams. Invite us into your kitchen or come along to one of our shoots and be a Celebrity.
