Living in Peace in Times of Crisis Dialogue
Hosted by Kimberly Weichel, author and activist and Tezikiah Gabriel, Executive Director of Pathways To Peace
As a Peacebuilder, how would you describe the most challenging aspects of coping with crisis? In the midst of crisis, what inspires hope for you? What advice would you give to other Peacebuilders who are struggling?
Please join us as we together explore the nature, challenges, and opportunities embedded in crisis.
In this two-part dialogue, Kim and Tezikiah will share brief stories of survival and thrival, leaving ample time for participants to share their perspectives in an engaging and dynamic dialogue.
"Living in Peace in Times of Crisis: Exploring Survival and Thrival"
Tuesday, September 29th from 7:00 pm EDT - 8:30 pm EDT.
Take Note: The second dialogue will take place Tuesday, October 6th at the same time and in the same zoom room, title to be announced.
We know as Peacebuilders, that it is much easier to live in peace when things are going well, than during a time of crisis or challenge. We live in a shared global experience of multiple crises that affect each of us in our lives and in our work. We also know that crisis takes on many forms and when it hits, our lives can be thrown into turmoil, disrupting all aspects of our daily lives. We believe that this is when nurturing inner peace is most significant, as it can be our greatest source of strength, and a survival mechanism.
In this shared dialogue, we will explore our various perspectives on how to survive and thrive through crisis, Come join the conversation!

About Pathways To Peace and the Culture of Peace Initiative
Incorporated in 1983, Pathways to Peace (PTP) is an international organization dedicated to making Peace a practical reality in our world today. PTP is an official Peace Messenger of the United Nations and has Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. PTP works locally and globally, inter-generationally and multi-culturally, to promote Peacebuilding, Peace education, and to collaborate with other organizations in initiatives that help further the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI).
With participants from around the world, the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI) is a cooperative local-global Peacebuilding Initiative uniting the strengths of organizations, networks, projects and people to realize a Culture of Peace for the Common Good. The CPI also serves as a vehicle for bringing to light many previously unseen and unheard Peacebuilders working along diverse paths, who are embodying the emerging Culture of Peace within Humanity. The annual highlight of the Culture of Peace Initiative is the International Day of Peace, which provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations, and nations to work together, on a shared date, to create practical acts of Peace with a year-round impact.
About the International Day of Peace
An annual focus for PTP is the International Day of Peace (Peace Day), held annually on September 21st. Pathways To Peace has worked with the UN to observe and promote the International Day of Peace since its inception in 1981 and has grown International Day of Peace from a single event of a few hundred people into an annual global observance that now reaches hundreds of millions of people. The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") is observed around the world each year on 21 September. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. http://internationaldayofpeace.org
