Million Ideas For Peace

Thank Your for Attending

Peace in our lives and the world will be achieved through the integration of diverse movements that take us beyond the cessation of violence and war and toward a culture of peace. 

Million Ideas for Peace: Cultivating the Art of Active Peace was a full-day creative and interactive workshop designed to help participants connect their strengths and passions to the creation of a more just and humane world. 

Our day begins with our host, Lucy Garrick MA, facilitating conversations focused on “active peace”. Participants used art as a metaphor for considering what it takes to nurture a culture of "active peace". We contemplated original masterpieces from the collections of theSeattle Art Museum to inspire our conversations. And together we will explored. . .

• How we begin to unravel the complexities of peace.
• The unrecognized acts of peace in which we already engage, which may remain hidden to us.
• How we can tap into what matters to us most in service to a culture of active peace.
• How we can connect to the resources needed to support the cornerstones of peace in the 21st century

In the afternoon participants were treated to an intimate conversation with one of the great thinkers of a generation, Dr. Riane Eisler. Riane shared her views on the cornerstones of peace from her latest work,The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating Caring Economics.
