September Newsletter – Finding Peace
"Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you." - Ajahn Chah The quote above was the inspiration for the name of our annual Mustached Turtle Dash. (By the way...it's not too late to register to participate in this fun and family-friendly event!) We selected it because it is indicative of the work we strive to do everyday at Peace Learning Center. After 17 years of working to teach peace, we've learned that true peace can not be achieved in our families, schools, organizations, city or our world without people first learning how to find peace within themselves. At Peace Learning Center, we help the organizations we serve create cultures of peace by empowering people to find the peace within so they can become peacemakers in the world. This month's issue of the Peace Learning News will showcase how we are creating more peacemakers by introducing you to two new Youth Development Facilitators, sharing how Indianapolis leaders meet on a monthly basis to dialogue about critical racial and cultural issues in our community, and helping you find peace within through our weekly Mindful Path blog.
