A peaceful world will be the result of a world of peaceful people. We cannot have peace in our world unless each of us takes steps to become peaceful. Starting within ourselves, each of us can choose peace. Then, moving outward in expanding circles of compassion, we choose peace with others we know, then others we don’t know, until our compassion encircles the Earth. As each of us takes this journey, our world becomes more peaceful.

Weekly Sunday Peace Gatherings
|
|
We hold weekly gatherings on Sundays at 1:00 p.m. at Mile .5 Edlund Rd. in Wasilla. We provide an opportunity to learn, share, and build community with others.
Starting Sunday, March 8, 2008 we will begin a discussion of the book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. Our intention is to have read an agreed to section of the book and be ready to discuss it each Sunday at our gathering. This Sunday we will start with Chapter 1. To start our discussion we will be using the questions from Oprah's online study group www.oprah.com
See you on Sunday!

"One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means.”

"If we ourselves remain angry and then sing world peace, it has little meaning. First, our individual self must learn peace. This we can practice. Then we can teach the rest of the world.”
—The Dalai Lama

The way to peace is for each of us individually to become more peaceful internally and with each other.
We have courses in Inner Peace and Interpersonal Peace.
