Peace Zone
A Peace Zone increases individual and community well being. It is created through a transformative process that weaves together the social fabric of a community enabling cooperation for the common good. It does this at the personal and organizational level by applying the seven transformative peace practices developed by playing the Peace Game – empowerment, oneness, unity, cooperation, abundance, love and faith. We call the journey of a community creating a Peace Zone “world building.”
Core to a Peace Zone is the engagement of community members and organizations in the Peace Game. Establishing these peace practices among the community’s residents combined with empowering the civic, public and private sectors to cooperate for the common good is what transforms the community into a Peace Zone.
As the world goes through the transformation decade of the 2020s, Peace Zones serve as safe havens transforming that which separates us into that which brings us together. To learn more watch these videos.
