You have arrived at earth's most inspirational web experience.
The Amazon award winning Looking-Glass web retreat has been created to enlighten and empower you as a compassionate individual - and ultimately encourage global healing for all.

Looking-Glass has been created for global compassionates; a term to acknowledge all who aspire towards an environmentally sound and harmonious future - and ultimately higher consciousness ... refined and forward-thinking.
Like an online solar system of planets and moons there are numerous sites orbiting the Looking-Glass nucleus, but which all gravitate towards aspects of compassionate thinking and living. Looking-Glass and it's sister site VeggieGlobal.com offer extensive, ethically based resources, news and appeals - mainly covering vegetarianism, animal welfare, humanitarianism and conservation ...
And there's much more.
You'll find dreamscapes interlaced with information and advice to inspire and stimulate the mind. You'll find discussions and analogies that stir the deepest conscience - a kaleidoscope of vivid, colourful and beautifully surreal interplay as the Looking-Glass mission guides and evokes the web mainstream on a journey towards a globally peaceful and humane lifestyle.
In seamless design, Looking-Glass also offers a broad menu of interests and complimentary services - Further exploration on philosophy - plus focus on creative arts, music and design projects. Even vegetarian classifieds, nutrition, news, interactive campaigns, good-cause support programmes and a variety of learning modules for all ages. VeggieGlobal Dating, E-Cards and other services will arrive soon. And with charity listings, search facilities, fun, games and discreet links to many of your favourite on-line shops, you can set Looking-Glass as your home page with the assurance that you won't be showered with irrelevant and intrusive advertising.
You can settle into the relaxing atmosphere within these environs knowing you are truly immersed in a balanced combination of your favourite things ... as a global compassionate.

You are most welcome to explore these unique, nonprofit web environs free - but please put something in the Honesty Pot to help support what has become an ever-evolving mission. Your contribution will in turn benefit the causes we represent and work with.
Please remember that you can also transparently show your support when buying from your favourite on-line stores through our shopping links - at no extra cost to you ...

Looking-Glass has been growing slowly and organically while the dot com gold rush came then dissapeared. And while many sites have hyped themselves out of cyberspace, Looking-Glass evolved wisely; grounding itself by the sheer weight of quality articles and practical, useful layouts (instead of blowing hot air at the cost of millions!)
This is truly a unique, new generation web phenomena - a dimension away from the internet rush-hour!
Looking-Glass also includes many everyday lifestyle interests; shops, resources, interaction and educational environs for everyone's benefit. You'll find a huge vegetarian and environmental web resource called VeggieGlobal, plus areas of selective reviews, news, related subjects and discussion. There are also sites covering the arts, music and film primarily from the professional aspect.
The Looking-Glass web system is interwoven with evolutionary philosophies - such as a journey towards universal awareness. The essence of this philosophy extends towards mood environs, from cultural perspectives to funtime essentials - all scattered throughout this cool and eclectic solar system of peace, love and compassion...

To reflect your mood and headspace, this non-religious and non-political retreat serves to help you find solace during times of reflection ... or solitude. Alternatively, Looking-Glass can gently urge and inspire you, such as:
Positive and peaceful change in your life ... through interaction
Deeper thinking ... through inner realization -
Suggestion of giving ... through outward compassion.
So please get involved in our campaigns, projects, and other important contributions towards world healing.
We invite you to subscribe free to this unique experience and explore ways to help keep all of this alive, which in turn helps the causes we represent. After you have browsed through the main contents you may find paths around Looking-Glass that lead you deeper into the Looking-Glass philosophy or else future adventures of the Looking-Glass community - and you may ask yourself ...

... are you reflecting?

* Looking-Glass is like a solar system ... Where you are right now is the nucleus ... the Homelands ... and beyond are planets (like VeggieGlobal), moons and satellites all encircling ... and ever evolving. Amongst all of this are gateways and paths to help you find what you are looking for. But if you ever get lost in this labyrinth of literally thousands of pages, you will be brought back to this Homelands Reception page by clicking on the house on the top right of almost any page. Otherwise move your mouse over the solar system on the top left of Looking-Glass pages and choose a planet to beam down to! If you want to search for something more specifically please use the labyrinth / map links

We hope you find Looking-Glass both fun and enlightening, and that you'll come back and visit us often.
Remember to use the "labyrinth map" links on the top and bottom of most pages so you can "planet & moon hop" or do a comprehensive search of the retreat. Or use the popular destination menus on the left margins etc. - Or even the groovy "Inteliporter" gizmo on the top of Looking-Glass pages (or links at bottom of VeggieGlobal pages) to explore this solar system of natural world reflection.

Love, lollipops and and rainbows! ...

... through the Looking-Glass.
