Sept. 2009—Come and indulge yourself, September 26, 2008 from 10 am-4 pm at the United Methodist Church in Red Bank, NJ. Come on, it’s for a good cause! Where Peace Lives, a non-profit organization that provides conflict resolution and peace building training for children and teens, is throwing a wellness fair that encourages people to treat themselves to massage therapy, facials, reflexology, raw foods and more, all while helping raise money to teach our kids to make the world a better place.

Aside from being able to get a massage, attendees of the event will have a chance to speak to vendors such as aromatherapists and chiropractors and will have a chance to buy all natural soaps and other goods to add to the quality of their life. Great music will provide a soothing backdrop to this wonderful event. All proceeds will got to Where Peace Lives programs. Please visit www.WherePeaceLives.org for details on our incredible peace programs for youth.

For the past three years, as part of a worldwide initiative sponsored by Where Peace Lives, students at various local schools in New Jersey and abroad have been creating murals for peace and exchanging them with each other. Where Peace Lives launched the International Peace Mural Exchange Project in 2006 with the goal of becoming the largest cultural art exchange ever undertaken, while at the same time providing anger management and conflict resolution training to the kids creating the murals.

“There are two important aspects to this project,” says Donna Clapp, Executive Director. “The first is that the students, while doing art projects, learn conflict resolution and mediation tools they can use in their everyday life. The second, is the cultural learning that takes place when the murals are exchanged. Students come to realize that as human beings we have many similar concerns and similar ways to make peace. By learning this they become citizens of the world and future peacemakers.”

Through working on such art activities as “what’s peaceful to me and what’s not” students get in touch with how the choices they make can affect the culture of peace at home and at school.
