The way of peace

Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation

I’ve heard veteran peace activists speak of peacebuilding as a “marathon endeavor” that required conviction, perseverance, and a marathon mentality. Indeed, that is true. But, after having engaged myself in the journey for almost twelve years, I have learned that there are other things about peacebuilding as well that, from another perspective, would likewise be true.

Being Change

Community Building

It is a pleasure and privilege to share insights and reflections with you on the lessons learned from my endeavors at building relationships of mutual respect, understanding and cooperation between and among peoples of diverse cultures and beliefs in my part of the world. One of the most powerful moving force for me in the endeavor is the vision of a better world that the URI--with its global community of people of diverse religions, spiritual expressions, and indigenous traditions--has ingited in me.  In striving to "be the change that I wish to see", I have gained lessons learned that I wish to humbly share here with you.
