Start a Peace Brigade.

Celebration of the Good
An alternative to commercial entertainment. Evening gatherings to read aloud or perform selections on sublime understanding of peace. Bring anything you like. We already have a few great works lined up by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Brother David, and J. Krishnamurti. Beverages and snacks are included.

City-wide engagement and learning
Organize a public meeting on a larger scale. As a kind of expanded meeting, it can include speakers from local organizations. The main thing is that it supercedes politics and ideology, that it addresses the root issue, based in the psyche and the soul, and that it creates a climate of affection and reflection.
Present Real Peace to the person on the street. And introduce the Peace Brigade.
The event can be as simple as a couple of people going to a public square and handing out leaflets, and presenting a process of genuine reflection. It can also be more involved, including giving talks on local radio stations or engaging the local media.
How can we expect change if people are not shown that it is possible? That is our only real task. Show how it is possible to reimangine standard approaches to conflict. We will reach the exact amount of peace that we deserve.

Pledge for soldiers, police and security guards
Invite soldiers, police, security guards to transform force into understanding. Ask for personal responsibility.
Police: Protect, understand and help. Respond to the living human being in front of you.
Soldiers: Fight for the good. There is a goal more important the victory or national interest. Let’s try to reach a critical mass of soldiers on local military bases (maybe 25%).
Security guards: Redefine the role of security guards as helping, resolving, teaching, and sharing, rather than commanding and enforcing.

Give back the night
Women should not have to fight for freedom. It’s not the duty of the abused to stop abuse, or the enslaved to fight for freedom. It’s we men who are responsible, and it’s we who must do what it takes to make safety possible.
Meeting: What role do you play in violence against women?
Public action: Public events in which we introduce Give back the night, and ask others to join with us in self-transformation for the sake of victims.

What is a Guide?
Want to help create Visionary society in your community? Select a project that you care about.
A Guide is sensitive to the lives of others, an alternative to the myriad of professionals who are paid to compensate for dysfunction: security guards, police, therapists, psychiatrists, social service workers, life coaches, shamans. Guides are catalysts.
Most important, the Guide provides moral support and facilitates communication with anyone interested in the project.
Are you interested? This position is right for you if:
• You want to take an active role in bringing thoughtfulness and awareness to your community.
• You have decent written communication skills.
• You understand and support the work of Visionary Society, and have a special interest in this Project.
