Overview
Profound Peace is resolving conflict at the root level, through introspection and direct, personal, collaborative action. We can step out of the cycle of violence and establish meaningful, collaborative and peaceful relationships, in our personal life, locally or globally.
 
 
Details
 
Profound Peace includes:

– Topics to learn about transformative responses to conflict in general. Topics on specific conflicts.
– A public event to present Profound Peace to show how we can reimagine conventional approaches to conflict.
– The formation of a Peace Brigade for any conflict, in which participants take a pledge for deep understanding of opposing sides and, most of all, to create peace in themselves and their personal life.
– Requests to Prisons and Security Guards to start taking steps to change aggression into cooperation.
– Pledges that soldiers, police, judges and lawyers can take for basic humanity and helpfulness in their profession.


Principles
Understand the grievances of the opposing side.
Understand the suffering of the opposing side.
Understand your own role in aggression.
Active collaboration with any and all peace organizations.
