- This project was born from the wishes of many people for peace. The extension of this personal intention into community has resulted in the creation of these workshops focusing on our underlying unity while honoring individual differences. The mandala presents a means of using conflict resolution in a non-violent atmosphere.To find peace is a very personal journey for each one of us. It is not an easy journey – it requires patience and willingness to change. We also need to look deeply into the dark corners within our psyche past the hate and anger that lies protectively over a more loving awareness.
Communication with one another and the world at large is essential for action. To foster mutual understanding, we would like to bring together communities with seemingly disparate intentions.
If we can create a peaceful gathering, even temporarily, it is enough.
As we send the physical manifestations of these encounters out into the world, we offer an opportunity for others to join us in our intentions.
