Peacemaking in the 21st Century: Inner Peace, Outer Action
The University of Maine Peace Studies Program presents Peacemaking in the
21st Century‹Inner Peace, Outer Action.from June 18 to June 20.
Speakers include Jonathan Wilson, Sulak Sivaraksa, Doug Allen, Kathy Kelly,
Wayne Newell and Colman McCarthy.
Conference organizers write, "We are convinced that every effort must be
made in these turbulent times to open our hearts and minds to a more
inclusive and participatory way of relating to each other and to our
environment. The "Earth Charter," whose tenets we subscribe to, notes that
"we are one human family and one earth community with a common destiny." By
educating ourselves in ways of peace, we lessen the fears and fixed ideas
that divide us. This conference is meant to give a forum to those who are
exploring themes of peace in a rich variety of ways, from spirituality to
art, from storytelling to dance, from native rights to veterans rights, from
compassionate living to restorative justice and reconciliation."
