STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN - July 16, 2006 - The Trail of Dreams Team is preparing to
take their World Peace Walk to Stevens Point, Wisconsin to speak at the 31st annual
National Wellness Conference from July 15-20, contributing to the theme "The Power
of Supportive Relationships". Audri Scott Williams, leader of the Peace Walk will
offer participants how to better understand and harness the true power of PEACE,
Passionately Engaged and Affecting Compassion Everywhere.

The Trail of Dreams World Peace Walk is a journey of faith, embarked upon by five
committed individuals, starting in Atlanta in 2005 and circumventing the world until
they reach New York in 2009. The Peace Walk began in Atlanta, Georgia on October 21,
2005. The walkers continued through the Gulf states of Mississippi and Alabama and
after reaching New Orleans they pushed forward through Texas, New Mexico and Mexico,
arriving now in Chicago.

The walk is a demonstration of ordinary people showing up to engage in a journey of
the human spirit that will take them around the world in a three and a half years
walk for world peace. Throughout their journey, walkers will meet with traditional
and indigenous wisdom keepers of the land, community leaders, spiritual leaders,
youth leaders and community service organizations. In addition, they will
participate in community service projects. Peace Walk leader, Audri Scott Williams
believes, \"One person who gives their time to peace makes news. Many people, giving
their time can make history.\"

Across the planet, groups of individuals are dedicating themselves to the emergence
of a global culture of peace. The Trail of Dreams is one such group of people who
recognize that genuine peace is a choice every individual makes through their
actions. They walk to show the world their dedication in understanding and
partnering with vital communities to create a sustainable future.

There are four initiatives of the walk:
. Getting to Peace - Introduce strategies for peaceful engagement to youth at
schools and through community based organizations.
. Earth Power - Teach individuals methods for preserving the planet with the goal of
reducing human impact on earth. The methods taught are water usage, growing methods,
waste reduction and disposal and general consumption practices.
. Fitness & Wellness in our Communities - Develop healthier fitness practices and
increase awareness about healthy lifestyle choices among communities around the
world.
. Youth Leadership - Organically grow peace ambassadors and young world leaders who
will continue to build a healthy economy and ecologically sustainable future.

According to organizer Audri Scott Williams, "The Trail of Dreams World Peace Walk
seeks to raise our collective awareness as conscious choice makers and center us in
our power to choose. It is about providing the opportunity for us to see and
experience the consequences of choice. Walking around the globe and interacting with
local communities reconnects the global family face to face."

The Trail of Dreams Team, sponsored by the Spirit of Truth Foundation, serves the
communities they walk through. In addition to preparing food packages for
post-Katrina survivors throughout the Gulf states and building solar powered homes
for a ranch community in Arizona, the Spirit of Truth Foundation also sponsored the
Beyond the Global Divide International Young Leaders Peace Summit in Palenque,
Mexico in June, 2006.

Audri Scott Williams, believes that, "One step at a time, we do change the world."
The Trail of Dreams Team includes: Natalie Scott Williams, elder and matriarch of
the walk; Karen Hunter Watson, Chandelle C. Binns, Tony Shina and Audri Scott
Williams, all residents of Atlanta, GA.
