Laceweb is a New Social Movement supporting people going beyond existing too living well in ways tapping the fullness of potential. Some discerning social commentators are recognising a global groundswell of people taking action for a better world. A new form of social movement. Focusing on wellness. Consciousness Raising. Connecting and relating well with others and the environment. Involving perhaps well over a million groups in every country around the world. This Laceweb Archive documents some of this wellness action in the SE Asia Oceania Australasia Region.

Welcome to Laceweb

A portal to a vast array of Healing Ways (as in making whole).

  • Tapping into ancient life wisdoms
  • Enriching Being
  • Tapping Unique BodyMind Potentials
  • Discovering the latest understandings of the BodyMind

Acknowledging

The wisdom on the Laceweb website has been drawn from the grassroots people of the Oceania East Asia Australasia Region. Vast numbers of grassroots folk in the Region have contributed their experience and competence. Indigenous and small minority people and resonant other folk from academic to professor level have been involved and evolved. Everything in this vast resource is from practical wisdom in action – a collection of what’s worked well, and at times contexts that have not worked so well - for learning better ways. This Homepage was available on the Internet during the 1990s through to 2006. As from May 2014 it is back on the Internet in a much expanded way. You may want to Bookmark this page and send a link to it to people you know. It’s a window to a massive resource. In rewriting and re-launching Laceweb, initially some hyperlinks may not be working. These will progressively be adjusted in the coming weeks
