“We believe we are at a time in history for a paradigm shift, where it is understood that a sustainable future depends on the realization of the interconnectedness of everything. The ultimate goal is to develop strategies transforming global structures of violence into a structure of nonviolence, and transforming the culture of war into a culture of peace.” – Winslow Myers
