Are you disheartened by the increasing division showing up around the world?
Are you concerned for our future — and for the future of generations to come? As troubling and overwhelming as the events filling our news feeds are, as a human race, we actually have within us what it takes to transform our world… We have the will, the intelligence, the resources, the heart, and the leaders to address and heal the areas of our planet that need it most… In fact, there are brilliant changemakers all over the globe making meaningful progress on critical issues — the environment, health, human rights, women’s issues, economic justice, and peace, to name a few. Now we’re being called to work in collaboration and partnership like never before, to create the comprehensive changes we need… for a world that works for all. And Finding Common Ground, taking place August 7-9, offers a path forward… Free Online Event
Finding Common Ground August 7-9, 2018 We’re honored to invite you to join 30+ of the world’s leading peacebuilders and changemakers — including Caroline Myss, Marla Maples, Sister Jenna, Shariff Abdullah, Chief Phil Lane, Jr., Robert Thurman, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Deborah Greene, Shamil Idriss, Khalida Brohi, Daryl Davisand so many more — sharing cutting-edge peace practices for building bridges, closing gaps, and connecting and promoting agents for change who are working to create a comprehensive blueprint for global transformation. This 3-day event will highlight changemakers and their personal stories of transformations that led them to authentic and powerful action. These stories include a Palestinian living in Bethlehem who turned to the ancient wisdom of Jesus (love your enemy) to learn how to love Israelis; a former CIA counterintelligence agent working with the U.S. military in the Iraq war who has created a global movement, “others into brothers,” turning enemies into allies; and an African American musician who befriended KKK leaders and engaged them in the work to end racism in America — and so many more.
