It's about love.

Our Communities of Peace approach is always about helping you to open and express the ultimate, Divine Nature of Who You Are while you’re here on this earth. 

We offer various classes, workshops and retreats using a Reconnecting with Nature personal approach that heals traumas/ impediments while helping you to be able to express your unique nature in ways that are both fulfilling and contributory.

Our next retreat is for women in Fauquier County on October 19th, at Airlie. It is  titled "God Power and You." 

Communities of Peace is currently sponsoring a project encouraging women ambassadors to the USA to show their love for Mother Earth through positive action.  We’ve co-sponsored an event for Earth Day at the Embassy of Ecuador, recorded positive intentions for Mother Earth from a number of women ambassadors, and are creating a related Mother Earth – Sacred Ground quilt project.

The significance of this particular Nature area is covered in the BBC documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRgTtrQOiR0

If you’re able to help support our efforts, a donation of any amount can be made here https://communitiesofpeace.org/donate

These days of climate change indicate we need to change our relationship to the Earth, and to each other. It’s important to connect in a way that is personal, deep, and respectful. How can we move into a deeper way of doing this?

Creating a quilt is one way that we have found to embrace Mother Earth and connect with others. (See our work with the Children's Cloth.) We invite you to create your own square-yard section of the “Mother Earth-Sacred Ground” quilt (more detailed directions an be found here). What do you consider sacred about Nature that you see in your own area and how does that illustrate your deep connection with Mother Earth? Keep your love and intentions in mind while you create your quilt as these intangibles provide unusual creative power.

Please tell us about your section (200 words or so), and include a picture, in an email to communitiesofpeace@gmail.com.  We’ll show these pictures on our website, and look for events where we can display sections and provide speaking opportunities. Let's share our love of "sacred ground” wherever and however we can.

Our flagship project since it began when we dedicated a peace pole for the Pentagon in September 2000. It has always been focused on peace --- created by and for our children. It is now over 1/3 mile long, containing yard-square sections from thousands of children in 32 countries. Check out our video!

We know there is growing concern about climate change that is often described as  “eco-grief” or “eco-trauma”. Where there is grief there is love. To help our world, we have created various workshops designed to help you experience a deeper connection with Mother Nature that will assist in healing and opening your heart.  This enables you to express more of the love that You are, and to bring this love forward. Future workshops will be announced here and in our emails.

We’ve donated and dedicated peace poles at Rady Park in Warrenton, Virginia, to the mayor of Washington, DC when the city was declared a Community of Peace, at the Pentagon (where it stands today in the prayer room), and sent one on a US military plane to the Afghan government. Hundreds of local children participated.

We have brought our weekly meditations back, and they are in person! The word "Meditation" really doesn't do the experience justice. These experiences, which are led by Gerry Eitner, are meant to help you connect with God, with your higher purpose, and to help clear the barriers to this connection.  Won't you join us?

Our office is located on the lower level of  560 Broadview Avenue in Warrenton. Plenty of parking in back of the building.

Please email your RSVP at communitiesofpeace@gmail.com so that we'll have plenty of chairs!

In Warrenton, VA, we've worked with an estimated 250 children from both public and private schools, Boys and Girls Club, scouts, homeschoolers, and the Homeless Shelter. We've taken them to embassies, the State Department, the Pentagon, and sponsored one as a delegate to a United Nations international program.

We’ve sponsored international programs between local children and children in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, and Kenya. 

Reiki Healing classes consist of a series of energetic attunements that will connect you to more expanded dimensions of your being. This class will also give you the experience of absorbing and sensing these higher dimensions of energy, carrying more of the “Christ Light,” and will guide you through the experience of performing energetic healing on yourself and others.

These classes occur periodically. If you'd like to make sure you know about upcoming sessions, please email us at communitiesofpeace@gmail.com and we'll be sure to include you on future announcements.
