PROJECT # 1 ~ ”LOVING LIVING ROOMS” ~
The goal of this project is to tape live seminars, classes and personal consultations in which the Merrills’ surprisingly effective and ground-breaking approaches to both Partnering and Parenting are being taught to a variety of audiences using a variety of venues. These tapes will be professionally edited and disseminated without charge to any parent, partner and professionals interested in learning these techniques or teaching them to others. Making this particular material so broadly available to others has a strong possibility of generating a rapid and far-reaching positive impact on our living rooms, our schools, our communities, and our world.

PROJECT # 2 ~ RE-BUILDING SCHOOLS FOR HUMANITY
The goal of this project is to inspire and join others in the development of the ultimate school system—one that would be viewed as the dream school so many of us have yearned to attend, teach in, or create but have not yet expanded our vision broadly enough to reach the goal.

It would be a school where both children and staff would enthusiastically anticipate spending their time; a place where they would feel inspired and equipped to open their hearts and expand their bodies and minds while uncovering their gifts, developing their talents and learning to live a kind and significant life as they maximize their potential.

Following is a small sampling of some of the unique components that might be included in this educational model:

• The design and building of campuses would look like award-winning architectural complexes surrounded by stunning grounds filled with streams, ponds, gardens, water features and fountains; wildlife, cafes, a variety of concert venues and theatrical stages; indoor and outdoor meditation and prayer gardens; and areas for displaying musical and dance compositions, artwork and other creative literary and scientific accomplishments.
  
  
  
• A curriculum that not only offers a progressive social emotional program but takes every opportunity to teach children to be kind and caring in their relationships with others and to thoroughly resolve any differences that surface in a manner consistent with the qualities needed to live as a world citizen.
  
  
  
• Inspire children to pursue the development of their musical, dance, artistic, and athletic talents.
  
  
  
• Inspire children to use their talents to create such things as bonafide art shows or musical and dance revues
  
  
  
• Inspire children to use their talents to raise money that could be used in the service of creating and/or supporting the work of humanitarian projects.
  
  
  
• Provide a variety of unique experiences such as doing research on a variety of topics, training therapy animals, or participating working with disadvantaged children.
  
  
  
• Develop an academic curriculum that is uniquely interesting to children and steeped in innovative and mentally stimulating activities, discussions and explorations.
  
  
  
• Keep all learning activities at school and design homework to accomplish such things as helping children to strengthen their bonds with their family and find ways to be supportive family members.

PROJECT # 3 ~ “NO MORE TEARS”
The goal of this project is to produce a full feature, award-winning film … based on a true story involving an expose that reveals the extent of the lethal power of sonar and its ability to create accidental genocide against all marine life. The purpose of exposing this would be to motivate the millions of people attending the film to adopt the unique art of Kenosis—or filling oneself only with love in the face of challenges such as this—and to experience through this process, the underestimated power of love to heal our hearts and world.

PROJECT # 4 ~ GRACE RESIDENCE CENTERS
This project is to inspire the design and development of nation-wide, drug-free shelters, which incorporate music, fountains, and gardens filled with beauty and birds, designed to shelter anyone who is homeless, drug-free and on meds—if needed—and desires a clean place to shower, change into clean clothes, eat and sleep. There would be a special program for the children of families who qualify as well as shelter for as many homeless animals as can reasonably fit that are cared for by the human residents.
