Eco-heroes Compassion Relays

Lets Connect Everyone With Compassion!

Keep feeling the need for being first. But I want you to be first in love. I
want you to be first in moral excellence. I want you to be first in
generosity. -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Participate in the Eco-heroes Compassion Relays in

April, 2015!

Rationale
We feel both excited and encouraged to move forward this year too, working together to make a
collective impact for a better world. Compassionate individuals, communities are needed,
people who care about our world and who are ready to take action to create a better future for
all life and who act in a manner which aims to reconcile the world.

How It Works
To participate in a Compassion Relay means you are willing to receive, carry and pass on the
Compassion Torch. The Torch is a symbol of the Relays. The Compassion Torch is simply
your commitment to compassion. Your decision to join the Relays symbolically
represents your receiving the Torch (the commitment).
To carry the Compassion Torch means that for one week, on each day, you write down or
capture through any medium (art, music, photo, video, etc.) one thought or action that
shows compassion in your own daily life.

You should explore three dimensions of compassionate action 1) caring for others; 2)
caring for yourself and 3) caring for the Earth. It can be something you do, something you
discover, or something you observe someone else do.
As a key part of the Relays, you commit to pass on the Torch to the other Eco-heroes
group (e.g. Portuguese group passes the Torch after one week to the Hungarian group)
to keep the flame alive. Please submit a brief report on a daily basis to our Eco-heroes
project website (in the Compassion forum) and at the end of the week please send your
brief report to the global Compassion Map
(https://compassiongames.crowdmap.com/reports/submit) describing your acts of compassion
and your weeks experience
