SingPeace! Earth Pilgrimage for Peace & Global Harmony, the Whidbey Institute and Aldermarsh are honored to host the BePeace Course and its founder, Rita Marie Johnson, offering a full-service retreat that includes accommodations and meals. Give yourself the gift of taking a "time out" from a too-busy life, to truly imbibe "BePeace".BePeace is a 32-hour experiential course that teaches individuals of all ages easy-to-learn techniques to master the power of heart wisdom through scientifically proven methods, a practice which combines HeartMath, a biofeedback method for “feeling peace,” and Nonviolent Communication, for “speaking peace.” BePeace brings together the essence of each in a powerful, synergistic approach for increased effectiveness and creative, peaceful living. We are delighted that BePeace Foundations Course creator, Rita Marie Johnson, will be the instructor for the first of these courses offered in the Northwest region.
BePeace creator, Rita Marie Johnson, has received acclaim as an international peacemaker. Founder of the Academy for Peace and the Rasur Foundation, in Costa Rica, Rita Marie has recently returned to the United States after 17 years. Since her return in 2009, Rita Marie has initiated BePeace in eleven states and in Canada, Europe and Central America. Rita Marie teaches at the United Nations University for Peace, is on the Advisory Board of the National Peace Academy, and she was a keynote speaker at the 2009 Student Peace Alliance Department of Peace Conference in Washington, D.C.

A TRI-POD, you are! Bucky Fuller talked about "the integrity of the triangle, a very stable structure.
When you all take the training, you qualify to become facilitators for your event on the east coast.Collaboration is the name of the game.
The BePeace Course at Whidbey Institute is attracting precisely the movers and shakers who will seed their communities with these precious steps toward peace. Thank you for being among them!
Peace & blessings,
pushkara

There is a group here on the East Coast (CT) who is interested in hosting a BePeace training - it would likely be a collaborative effort between my agency (Artreach) and the Voluntown Peace Trust, plus anyone else I can get involved. I a foot in the mental health world, one in the peace world, and one in the arts community (lots of feet, huh?) I love collaboration! I'll look forward to talking to you more about that possible next step. xo

Dear Becca,
You and your staff have the right idea: "crafting a culture of peace" within the mental health system, an entire school or district, a corporation or government agency. This is the way to go! Thank you all for your compassion, enthusiasm and wisdom!!!!

The staff of Artreach, Inc. are very excited to be participating in the training. How cool will it be to have an entire staff of people working within the mental health system who are actively sharing/living/walking Peace?
