Communities of Peace

Communities of PeaceCommunities of PeaceCommunities of Peace

It's about love.

It's about love.It's about love.It's about love.

Our Work

Communities of Peace was formed in 1995. Since that time, the program has been seeded in ten US communities, and projects have extended into six other countries.  Thanks to the hundreds of people who have helped us, and who continue to help us, make a difference. Our volunteers include: teachers, hospital administrators and staff, doctors and nurses, school superintendents, politicians, city officials, military chaplains and officers, members of our State Department, Ambassadors and their embassy staffers. And of course, school age children across the world. 

 

We have worked with thousands of children and many hundreds of adults to expand their experience of what is possible for them. We’ve initiated programs in the health, educational, environmental, interfaith and emergency planning areas. Our projects have included secretaries of state, many political officials, and even members of royalty. 

 

Some projects have  been presented at the United Nations and in the US congress. All of them have been personally demonstrated in ways that have brought value to the communities.

Our Projects Make a Difference

The Communities of Peace mission is grounded in making a difference. We believe this starts with helping expand people’s inner experience of who they are and what is possible for them. We also believe that it is equally important to create and support projects in the community that involve these experiences. That’s why you’ll see us create a variety of initiatives that support community involvement.

We’ve been creating online courses to help people during these times.  These involve deep connection -with Nature, with one’s own inner nature, with others, and with next levels of awareness.   This approach will help you to heal the various traumas inherent in being here, to open more senses for you to use to interact, and to open into the fullness of Who You Are.  
Contact us at communitiesofpeace@gmail.com for more information.

Our goal (the Mission) is to bring forward the values and energy of the Mother into our world today. It’s what the world needs now – unconditional love, deep caring for all, nurturing, understanding and harmony. You’re also welcome to participate if you’re not a mother per se. We understand that the Mothering energy can be had by all; happen in many ways.

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!

Over the years, we’ve sponsored community programs with a caring approach from the heart – always toward the common goals that we face together. One of these gradually emerging goals is that of our response to climate change. We’re all in this together. We’re now sponsoring “gatherings” of women who are involved in climate change, called “Climate Change – From the Heart.” Our intention is to connect, collaborate, cross-fertilize and create sustainable solutions, at all levels.

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.

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.
