A Book Club for Those Yearning to Be and Know Peace
RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS AND BUILDING PEACE
ONE BOOK AT A TIME
Books have the potential to inspire us to grow and learn across multiple intersections. They provide us with ways to deepen our personal growth and sense of peace. They can allow us to examine our relationships – who sits at our table, who does not, and why? Books can inform us about community peacebuilding? Who is doing it, how is it done and what are the results? What are the alternatives to conflict? How is peace created moment-by-moment, step-by-step, within and without? Let’s learn and grow together.
