Almost a year later, the death of her husband Alan and daughter Naomi, has called Kia Scherr to spread a message that we all share one sacred life.

Alan and Naomi were killed on November 26, 2008 while on a spiritual retreat in Mumbai, India. They were eating in the Oberoi Hotel restaurant when terrorists fired shots and killed them.

Kia Scherr and her family lived at the Synchronicity Foundation in Nelson County and was in Virginia when the attack happened. In response to the Mumbai terrorist attacks, she and Synchronicity leader, Master Charles Cannon, have started an organization called One Life Alliance. They hope to teach people, both in the United States and internationally, about the sacredness of life. They also want people to know that we are all connected.

"We found in the Mumbai attacks there was no value of life there," said Scherr. "We see a tragedy like that, our experience is to increase our own value for life as a result of that loss."

Scherr and Master Charles will officially launch their organization with a webcast on Thanksgiving Day. From then on they hope to send their message of peace to the world.
