One Day began as a question; Why not today? So many dream that one day Catholics and Protestants will picnic together, Jews and Palestinians will sing each other’s song, Democrats and Republicans will join together to nourish the hungry, Pakistanis and Indians will dance together hand in hand. Again, why not today? Until we start living that life that world doesn't exist and the more of us that commit to living that life TODAY the more people will be affected tomorrow by the change we have become. "Be the change you want to see in the world." is a cliché for a reason.
At One Day we declare ourselves to be:
-Accepting: The place we begin.
-Authentic: We are genuine with ourselves and each other.
-Integral: We are complete,whole, and intact.
-Compassionate: We witness and feel deeply for ourselves and all beings.
-Grateful: Always.
We hold that these are the building blocks of a loving society and exist as an example, a beacon casting light into our world, so that others may find their way home.
Everything we create flows from that vision, from our origin in 2019 as founder Abram Siegel-Rivers’s community leadership project in Nashville, Tennessee to the One Day Virtual Stage, to our upcoming books, workshops, courses and festivals! All while we revel in witnessing Humanity rise in this new connected world, where each person's unique contributions are valued and then magnified in loving collaboration producing previously unimaginable breakthroughs and unlimited new possibilities!
One Day is about shifting humanity away from the habit of deciding out of fear and cultivating the capacity to choose as Love and so we intend that everything that happens through us comes from Love, as Love. Especially as we connect, inspire, and amplify communities through music, art, stories, and events. We seek to see and cultivate possibility in each other through:
One Day holiday events in communities worldwide, building bridges and uniting a diverse array of communities, setting the table for new collaborations and recipes never before conceived. Imagine the possibilities that could spring from a deep, meaningful, intimate, loving community. Scientific discoveries never imagined, cures to incurable diseases, an abundance of artistic and musical masterpieces...
As our communities provide water and Sun for the seeds of the One Day organization and movement, we all reap the benefits. These are the fruits and flowers of our shared human connection.
