Peace IS Possible

Charter for Compassion
Are you disheartened by the increasing division showing up around the world?

Are you concerned for our future — and for the future of generations to come?

As troubling and overwhelming as the events filling our news feeds are, as a human race, we actually have within us what it takes to transform our world…

We have the will, the intelligence, the resources, the heart, and the leaders to address and heal the areas of our planet that need it most…

In fact, there are brilliant changemakers all over the globe making meaningful progress on critical issues — the environment, health, human rights, women’s issues, economic justice, and peace, to name a few.

Now we’re being called to work in collaboration and partnership like never before, to create the comprehensive changes we need… for a world that works for all.

And Finding Common Ground, taking place August 7-9, offers a path forward…

Free Online Event
Finding Common Ground
August 7-9, 2018

https://shiftnetwork.isrefer.com/go/sop18CC/CCI/

We’re honored to invite you to join 30+ of the world’s leading peacebuilders and changemakers — including Caroline Myss, Marla Maples, Sister Jenna, Shariff Abdullah, Chief Phil Lane, Jr., Robert Thurman, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Deborah Greene, Shamil Idriss, Khalida Brohi, Daryl Davis and so many more — sharing cutting-edge peace practices for building bridges, closing gaps, and connecting and promoting agents for change who are working to create a comprehensive blueprint for global transformation.

This 3-day event will highlight changemakers and their personal stories of transformations that led them to authentic and powerful action. These stories include a Palestinian living in Bethlehem who turned to the ancient wisdom of Jesus (love your enemy) to learn how to love Israelis; a former CIA counterintelligence agent working with the U.S. military in the Iraq war who has created a global movement, “others into brothers,” turning enemies into allies; and an African American musician who befriended KKK leaders and engaged them in the work to end racism in America — and so many more.

I hope you’ll join us for this extraordinary FREE online event presented by The Shift Network.

Each day we’ll feature an incredible lineup of changemakers who will guide you in channeling your passion and purpose to make your most meaningful contribution to our world. They’ll share exactly how they’ve found common ground in their communities and created blueprints for change through their innovative peacebuilding work — that you can follow!

We invite you to join us each day of this summit as we take a deep dive into these life-changing, world-changing topics:

Day One: Personal Transformation How to prepare yourself to find common ground with others

Day Two: Interpersonal Transformation How to find common ground with anyone you’re looking at as “other”

Day Three: Collective Transformation How to find common ground in your community and our world

Together, we can create a peaceful, sustainable, transformed world.

P.S. Here’s just a peek at what a few of our brilliant speakers will be sharing with you:

Caroline Myss speaks to the importance of every one of our choices… because one clear choice, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, can redirect the course of your life in the blink of an eye.

Marla Maples and Dot Maver will highlight the key principles necessary to create “right human relations” in a time of great polarization and fear.

Robert Thurman will explore nonviolence and love as a pathway to common ground — focusing on the vital role of women in creating harmony and building a more sustainable future.

Shamil Idriss will provide the three steps in finding common ground with an adversary: choosing hope, building trust, and changing the underlying system.
