Former Washington D.C. Office Dir., Amnesty International; co-author The Social Healing Project; & past president, Institute of Noetic Sciences. Does peace begin with me? Yes. Peace is a way of being. “We are in an evolution of consciousness & the time to activate our will- NOT our willfulness- is now.” Acknowledge our personal narratives - self, others, the world. Any lineage, culture, economic level - each of us hold narratives about self & other. “When our narratives begin to crumble, our very sense of self is shaken. Yet seeing the falseness of what we have always been told to be true can lead to acknowledgment of a much broader reality, which may incorporate the truths of others.” Join Cheryl Esposito & James O’Dea for The Power of Narrative & The Way of Peace.
