Proactive Conscious Peacemaking

Join us at the Center on World Peace Day, September 21, for a reflection on what it means to be a peacemaker in our changing world.

Barbe Chambliss, author of Women Peacemakers: What We Can Learn From Them, shares her experiences interviewing the 15 women featured in her book as well as the over 50 peacemakers she has interviewed since the book was published in 2020.

Through these experiences, she seeks to answer the ultimate peacemaking question; why and how should we participate in proactive conscious peacemaking?
