The Peace Center, Skills for peaceful living

About The Peace Center

The Peace Center is a DBA of The Center for the New Humanity, a tax exempt organization of charitable purposes as defined under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. A Board of Trustees oversees the financial activity of the The Peace Center as well as support for its programming.

Our Mission:

The Peace Center offers tools to experience peaceful living.

How we do that right now is through our gift shop, inquiry groups, and sponsored events. We seek to provide the very best presenters and teachers to lead the most dynamic and transformative programs we know of, and we continually seek out the best talent for our supporters, members, and patrons.

Our Vision:

To establish a Peace Center in every state of the USA in five years; every major city of the world in ten.

Our Values:

Community - we offer programs that focus on creating a spirit of connection, oneness, and cooperation with others.
Inclusion - we embrace all who seek an experience of peace
Integrity - we hold ourselves accountable to our values, promises and commitments to walk the walk of peace.
Nonviolence - we commit to think and act in ways that facilitate peaceful expression
Prosperity - we demonstrate programs and funding solutions that are sustainable for the Peace Center locally and as a movement
Compassion - we are centered in love, allowing for honesty, empathy, forgiveness and acceptance.
Wisdom - we grow in knowledge, experience and dynamic application of peace skills.
Generosity - we provide a space for people to abundantly give of their time, talent and treasure for the goodness of all.

Some of our projects. . .

The Pace People Dance Company- While channeling their energy into artistic expression, young people are taught valuable lessons in self esteem, poise, confidence, as well as giving back of their talent to the community.

The Embrace Berwyn Campaign - Because peace is a local concern first, our primary ambition is to uplift the community that we are in. Our attention is toward showcasing works of Berwyn artisans, hearing the ideas of Berwyn based teachers and speakers, and raising awareness for decreasing violence in Berwyn, one person at a time.

IMPACT: In the coming year, we expect to serve hundreds, if not thousands from Berwyn and the surrounding area

We expect to serve 15 young people in The Pace People Dance Company who in turn will touch the hearts of 2,000 others who see them perform.

We expect to engage 500 new Berwynites in the Embrace Berwyn campaign, to attract them in programs that encourage visible practices of tolerance and compassion in the community, who in turn will touch at least one other person to “catch the fire”. That’s 1,000 people tuned in to making Berwyn a wonderful place to live.
