My vision is to help repair our world and build a more balanced & peaceful life for all.

Peace Wrestling is a term I created to describe how we wrestle with how to create peace inside and with others, not always sure what a right behavior might be, and how to bring our visions of peace into the world.  Peace Wrestling is the movement towards inner and outer peace and a holding of a goal and vision of peace.

Peace wrestling is a process of refining our skills, creating a vision, wrestling with what to do, and maintaing a daily peace practice. Peace Wrestling involves:

• identifying your strengths & gifts
• expanding with new skills & ideas
• a daily peace practice
• practicing skills, mindfulness, and presence
• courage to build bridges and overcome blocks
• forgiveness
• creation of rituals for peace
• willingness to let go of anger
• stepping away from destructive patterns
• listening to each other’s stories with respect & compassion
• taking time to find common ground
• celebrating all steps towards greater peace and harmony
• giving voice to a vision of peace for self & world
  
• repair of relationships and the world
• struggling with what is easy verses what creates peace
• understanding and deepening our sense of connectedness

Come deepen and gather your vision & skills to create a more peaceful life for yourself, others and the world. Drawing upon a wide variety of skills, models, and world wisdom, I am passionate about peacemaking in our world. I invite you into the peacemaker circle, as there are many, many, many people who share a vision of a more peaceful world.
