Cultivate Your Peace: A Practice and Reading Group

Cultivate Your Peace: A Practice and Reading Group

Six Wednesdays between October 8, 2014 to January 28, 2015

Join us for a six-session reading group focused on James O’Dea’s Cultivating Peace:  Becoming a 21st Century Peace Ambassador.  O’Dea, a world-renowned peace activist and former executive at Amnesty International, has crafted a guide to peace work that integrates cultural, spiritual, scientific, and personal aspects that are at play in developing personal as well as global peace.

You and our fellow group members will read sections of Cultivating Peace:  Becoming a 21st Century Peace Ambassador independently and engage in the “Reflection and Practice” included with each chapter.  As a group, we will share our experiences reading and practicing Cultivating Peace:  Becoming a 21st Century Peace Ambassador in an on-line community forum and in six in-person meetings.

O’Dea’s approach “speaks universally to peace activists, mediators, negotiators, psychologists, educators, businesspeople, and clergy – and to everyday citizens”.

Powerful, practical and actionable, this book breaks new ground in how we think about, engage with and integrate peace work into our lives.   Join us as we experience the transformative Cultivating Peace process together.  Your hosts:  Ellen Morfei of Progressive Conflict Solutions and Skip Shuda of Integral Philly.  To enroll, please RSVP to ellen@progressiveconflictsolutions.com.   This is a FREE program, but enrollment is limited to 12.
