About the Peace Education Program
Who am I? What are my strengths? How do I experience peace in my life?
The Peace Education Program is an innovative course that helps you discover your own answers to these important questions. The facilitated exploration features insightful videos, dynamic interaction and reflection activities, all aimed at helping you chart your path and make the most of life. The program gives you the opportunity to focus and reflect on your inner resources such as choice, hope and dignity. Rather than describing or defining personal peace, the program empowers you to reach your own understanding.
Each workshop will last approximately 60 minutes and feature video excerpts of renowned peace educator Prem Rawat’s inspiring presentations centered on ten themes: Peace, Appreciation, Inner Strength, Self-awareness, Clarity, Understanding, Dignity, Choice, Hope and Contentment.
