Opening Ceremony. Climate, Community, and Sustainability
Saturday, 5th December

On saturday 5th of december, at sunrise, will the indigenous peoples from our Bottom Meeting go together and make a ceremony for the entire CLIMATE BOTTOM MEETING-WINDOWS OF HOPE!
  Simultaneously will one from the Peace Watch light a torch by the eternal fire of the Peace-Watchers !
Then he will run to Christiania - by the lake - where all is nicely prepared
and ready at a pontoon-scene with the big iron heart located at the bottom of a bowl with wick. The torch ignites the wick and the four elements, fire, air, soil and water are Joined!
  Then we bring the fire on to the Meadow of Peace, where a balloon  with our symbol, the 'Windows of Hope' is ignited and it flies in the air! The torch will also ignite a fire that is at the Meadow of Peace, where the Peace Watch will be on visit for that day.
