How Can Everyday People Create Peace?

with Betsy Johnston

“How can everyday people create peace?” This question prompted Betsy’s curiosity and led to her collecting responses from 108 people from 40 countries in the book “Gaku’s Question: How Can Everyday People Create Peace?”

The question remains relevant today as we wonder what we can do to impact global peace.

On Saturday April 18, Betsy will lead a discussion about everyday peace and our ability to affect peace in our daily lives and beyond.  We will explore some of the responses to this question and have an opportunity to reflect, write, and share our own responses.  Megan Higgs will guide us with opening and closing meditations. Free and open to all! Please register so we know how many people are attending.
