The Peace Studio

We live in a world predominantly on fire. Every hour of every day, a new fear-gripping headline in the news another mass shooting, an unexpected tsunami, raging wildfires, COVID-19 devastation, the list goes on and on. We train them to see their work as a vocation, not merely to express whatever inner sorrow or outrage they are feeling, but to unde... rstand the critical role they play in creating stillness and building empathy while chaos ensues around them. We encourage them to tell the difficult stories of today in such a way that celebrates the capacity of human resilience in the darkest of times. And we ask them to see themselves as peacebuilding leaders, which we define as a commitment to creating work that challenges injustice through a lens of compassion and love. Our programming spins out of this core framework a mix of educational initiatives, fellowships , convenings , and content creation . Our impact goal is two-fold: 1) to build out and support an army of artists and journalists that see their work as critical to building a culture of peace and 2) to develop a massive, hybrid (virtual & in-person) platform that is powerfully elevating the importance of peace and peacebuilding in the public square. A sort of TED meets Woodstock for peace. At The Peace Studio, we are reaching and engaging storytellers across all disciplines to build a movement that leads to a more empathetic and less divided world.Read More
