seu propósito é:
* o empoderamento dos promotores de tais iniciativas (as “comunidades criativas”) dando a elas a possibilidade de troca de idéias e experiências

* envolver um público cada vez maior na discussão de novas idéias de bem estar e como é possível promovê-las, começando a partir de agora.
