WE ARE ONE - A World Anthem by Alana Lea
I recently attended the "Celebration of Oneness" in Pasadena, California, where I presented the newest of the prayer flags. While in my booth, a most beautiful sound kept filling my being - a song of Unity. Before long, I met its creator, Kevin Reid.
When the inspiration came to make a series of full color prayer flags for the International Day of Peace, there was little time to pull it off. And, it had to be done.
Four sets are delivering their messages as Gifts of interFaith Unity in Israel, Brazil, Canada and Sri Lanka, and over 24,000 visits from 98 countries were made to the Peace Through Art website where the art was offered to new subscribers as free downloads...
INTERPRETIVE TOUCH DRAWINGS by Deborah Koff-Chapin
Through the immediacy of Touch Drawing, I am able to visually portray both the content and feeling-tone of a lecture, poetry, meeting or music. I love the collaborative nature of the experience, often finding images I would not create on my own. I have done this for over 350 different presentations.
The images I created at several recent conferences now available for viewing online. You can see images I created during The World Peace Forum, Sacred Activism, Engaging the Other, and the Peaceworks Conference.
I drew during presentations by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Marianne Williamson, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Archbishop Elias Chacour, Jean Houston, Arun Gandhi, Maureen O'Hara, Sam Keen, Senator John Vasconcellos, Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, MA, Geshe Gendun Gyatso, Satsuki Ina, Sharif Abdullah, Caroline Myss, Parliamentarians Supporting Departments of Peace in Their Countries and many more. 20% of the proceeds from the sale of fine art prints will be donated to the sponsoring organization. read more on Deborah's site
Gratitude By Ann Christi
The Mastering of Gratitude is not just about being thankful for that which you desire and receive, it is the ability and wisdom to be equally thankful for that, which is taken away and creates disappointment or great pain. It is about Trust—it is not about understanding— that awareness comes later.

Touch Drawing with Traumatized Children in Gaza By Mohammed Mukhamair
I was born and raised in Rafah Refugee Camp in the southern area of Gaza Strip, and got my university degree in psychology. I have been working as a psychologist in Gaza Community Mental Health Program since 1998. This is non-profit, non- governmental organization established in 1990 to provide comprehensive community mental health services to the population of Gaza Strip, including therapy, training and research. It’s one of the leading mental health organizations in Palestine. We provide urgent psychological intervention for thousands of children and families experiencing severe organized violence and trauma.

Report from the Second Global People's Summit for Ministries and Departments of Peace
We are at a time when our country has been besieged by a militarization of thought which stems from deep fears about personal security. As a result we find ourselves still at war in Iraq and preparing for war against Iran and North Korea. We need a deep discussion about the roots of war-thinking as well as a compassionate reflection on the roots of violence in our own society. This is the beginning of a new discussion as we prepare to expand our efforts to create a cabinet-level Department of Peace.... read more...
Illuminated Peace Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz
Upon hearing the Irresistible Voice of the
Love’s Wellspring and Goal,
we are led to affirm that
whatever the Universe does, small or large,
through any being or communion of beings,
which helps further its purpose,
this act celebrates the Source of our unfolding story....
