Profiles of Peace
One way to facilitate a culture of peace is to use the power of story to demonstrate what peace looks like in practice. These Profiles of Peace are intended to do just that. If you have a Profile you'd like to have us consider for this space, please send an email describing your idea, and, if it looks like a fit, we'll ask you to write it up for possible publication here.

Elise Boulding at Home, 2005Mary Lee Morrison, Founding Director of Pax Educare, Inc., offers this Profile of Peace. Both Mary Lee Morrison and Elise Boulding are on the Advisory Board for the National Peace Academy.

"Elise Boulding has been called the “matriarch” of the twentieth century peace research movement.

Treasures of Discovery and Peace along the Silk Road

Marla and Flower GreetingMarla Mossman travels the ancient Silk Road in search of her roots. Along the way she finds peace. Marla shares her discoveries through her photography and writings. She says: “People involved in the culture of peace hold notions of peace as practical and necessary. We don’t have to be a perfected deity in order to achieve a sense of enlightenment. We are already divine in the moment. That’s the kind of positive energy we should start from in our institutions. That’s what the culture of peace is about.”

Robert M. Weir provides Marla Mossman's Profile of Peace.

A Strong Will for Peace Fills Montana

Montana. More than 147,000 square miles, the fourth largest state in the nation. Eight cities, 56 counties and nine Indian reservations. Eight hundred thousand people with a reputation for being individualists live in this Big Sky Country, which commands 13 hours to drive from the Canadian border in the northwest to the Wyoming border in the southeast. There is but one Congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives and one key advocate for the U.S. Department of Peace and Nonviolence.

Radical Conferencing for Crime and Conflict Management

“We do the incredibly radical thing of getting people to talk to each other,” says Lauren Abramson, Ph.D., founder and executive director of the Community Conferencing Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The people she and her staff of five bring into discussion are criminal offenders, their victims and the supporters of each. The forum is face-to-face and everyone has an equal voice. The purpose is to introduce dialogue, gain understanding, create win-win resolution and, ultimately, transform attitudes.

Robert M. Weir provides Lauren Abramson's Profile of Peace.
