24 Hours of World Peace Livestream
Donation protected
Hi - it's David-Dorian Ross here. Thank you for supporting this GoFundMe project! With your generous support, we're working to support the spread of this wonderful event around the world and the work of the founder, Bill Douglas.
But first, let me remind you of our vision.
Imagine that for just one day, thousands of people around the world would gather in parks, stadiums and auditoriums and for just one hour dance and play together. No competition. No judgment. No politics.
This is the vision of World Tai Chi and Qigong Day (WTCQD) - the brainchild of Taiji teacher Bill Douglas. Each year on the last Saturday in April, local Taiji (Tai Chi) lovers congregate to put on public demonstrations, free classes and exchange ideas and techniques. It starts in New Zealand at 10am local time, and progresses time zone by time zone for 24 hours. The motto of WTCQD is simple and beautiful: One World, One Breath.
On this day, a massive Tai Chi group is performing in Egypt at the very same moment that a similar group is demonstrating their form in Israel. A few hours later groups all over South America (where WTCQD is an official holiday) will be going through their forms with fans and swords and colorful silk uniforms. And on and on across the planet.
Now - imagine that you could see all these events LIVE, as they are happening right from your own computer screen or mobile device. This is our project. It's called 24 Hours of World Peace. We will be working with local participants around the world who will stream their individual events to us, and we will webacast them out again. People all over the world will be able to watch a world of events all in one place. I will personally emcee the show.
Every hour you will be able to tune in to watch demonstrations, interviews, short video programs and more. You'll even be able to interact with other people - asking questions and chatting with other viewers from around the world.
24 Hours of World Peace is more than just a show about Taiji, however. It is a way of seeing first hand that people from all walks of life, from many nations and ethnicities can put aside any differences they may have - and for just one day play and dance together, sharing their love of Taiji. If we can do this for one day, we can do this for the whole year. That's OUR vision.
