 Alcatraz, a former Federal penitentiary and a sacred site for the Indigenous Ohlone Native American tribes, is currently administered by the Department of the Interior. Through a political process, be it an initiative, an act of Congress or direct purchase of the island, we have the means and opportunity to transform Alcatraz Island into a Global Peace Center. The choice is simple, do we really want an old and decaying prison to continue to be a prominent landmark for the San Francisco Bay Area, or do we want to take this opportunity to create a New Alcatraz, one which will mark a new emerging paradigm committed to progressive, enlightened values ?! San Francisco, the “Geneva of the West” and a major center for the rapidly emerging Pacific Rim community of nations, is ideally suited for this majestic and noble project. From the signing of The United Nations Charter to the present day peace movement, San Francisco, the City of St. Francis, has a storied history as a progressive center for spiritual enlightenment, environmental awareness, and an engaged socially conscience populace and business community. The economic benefits of our proposed 21st century majestic, visionary project will be immensely positive. The New Alcatraz, a place of light, beauty and freedom will become an artistic, educational and spiritual mecca which will attract millions of people from all over the world who will thoroughly enjoy being “Inspired, Delighted, Healed and Enlightened”. Some Suggested Components For the Proposed Global Peace Center Include and not limited to: A. A PYRAMID-Shaped International Conference Center For Non-Violent Conflict Resolution. B.The Harmonium, enclosed within a Hexagram, will be a stunningly beautiful multi-faceted geodesic Super IMAX-Like Theater. The Harmonium will employ advanced three dimensional holographic sound technologies and other special effect technologies which will promote and elicit a deep meditative, transpersonal and transcendental experience! An Ascension Experience!! C. A dramatic Statue of St. Francis along side a Native American Sculpture welcoming all to the San Francisco bay Area. D. A Native American Cultural Center, honoring the history, traditions, arts, and spiritual practices of the indigenous Native American community and beyond… E. An Alcatraz Museum commemorating the storied and colorful history of Alcatraz, from pre-Columbian times to it’s recent history as a Federal prison… F. Sacred Sanctuaries to include a MEDICINE WHEEL, a LABYRINTH and a Tibetan Buddhist STUPA and A Harmonic Sound Garden. G. Additionally, The New Alcatraz will be an international showcase for Green energy technologies… H. Bird Sanctuary… IN SUMMARY: The Alcatraz Conversion Project is both a challenge and a golden opportunity to initiate a tremendous community project, one which has the potential to positively transform the energy of the entire Bay Area and the world and thus catalyze a Global Renaissance.Through this process we will re-consecrate Alcatraz Island as a sacred site, and thus acknowledge the Native American people, while simultaneously giving birth to a new and peaceful paradigm for all humanity. The Opportunity Is Here..The Choice Is Ours To Make… “Where There Is Vision , We, The People Prosper” Definitive
