"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"

This is one of my favorite quotes and it is attributed to Mahatma Gandhi. The truth is that nearly all of us would like to enjoy a more peaceful, respectful, joyful world. But the only way we are going to achieve that (and it IS achievable) is to embody peace and honor. We need to look within, bring light and love to our shadows, and live the change we wish to see in the world.

My friend Liz (co-author of Magickal Crafts) and I lead a group of homeschoolers from age 3 through 14 and their grown-ups that are dedicated to creating peace at home and in their world. Our focus is on personal empowerment through self-knowledge, honesty, and integrity. From there, we move into ethnic and religious diversity, conflict resolution, consensus-based decision making, and much more! The resources listed below are some of our favorites for both kids and adults. Please check them out! I'm sure you will find something to help you create greater peace in your world.
