We The People - Co-Creating Inner Peace™ is a collaborative book, video, and educational program about a deep inner connection between all peoples. It is a story of an extraordinary spiritually guided journey and a project called The Inner Peace Treaty™.  Alice Yeager, along with other contributors and participants acknowledged in the credits share herein the co-creative story of this project described in full detail at http://www.americanhealingarts.org/innerpeacetreaty.html.

Join us on June 14th and 21st for a series of Conscious Dialogues to celebrate the 8 year anniversary of the ratification of the Inner Peace Treaty™.  
The initiating Inner Peace March™ and Inner Peace Treaty™ ratifying event was held on June 21, 1998 in Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A. Then, Annapolis Mayor Dean Johnson, and another one hundred participants, gathered in front of the Maryland State House for the first of many Inner Peace Treaty ratifying ceremonies.

Some of the ratifiers of the Inner Peace Treaty™ include;

Former Annapolis Mayor Dean, Gordon Davidson and Corrinne McLaughlin, from the Center for Visionary Leadership and authors of Spiritual Politics: Changing the World from the Inside out and Builders of the Dawn, Former Governor Parris Glendening  (who later offered a written version of an Inner Peace Treaty for Maryland), Mayor Ellen Moyer, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Conversations with God author, Neale Donald Walsch, author and activist Rabbi Michael Lerner, Ambassador John McDonald from the Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy, Chief Orville Looking Horse, musician and film maker, James Twyman, and representatives of numerous organizations have also ratified it including: The John Denver Memorial Peace Cloth, Prayer Vigil for the Earth, The World Peace Prayer Society,  World Peace Flame (Life Foundation) and the World Peace and Prayer Day (Wolakota Foundation). Current signatures are approximated at over 1,000 people around the world.

Since its inception in 1994 as a seed thought, the Inner Peace Treaty™ has been gently guided by unseen hands. For lasting peace to finally become a reality it is our individual responsibility to co-create peace within ourselves as seeds of peace in the world.

Join us on June 14th and 21st for a series of Conscious Dialogues™ wherein we will:

• Learn about the original intention and vision of the Inner Peace Treaty™
• Explore how sharing the responsibility for co-creating peace begins first with ourselves
• Discover how, as leaders, our panelists encourage those in leadership roles to inspire others by coming from a place of peace inside themselves
• Create a collective awareness of our pathways to peace through agreements with our Creative Source
• Identify a variety of ways to the practice connecting with the Source of peace within ourselves
• Visit with our panel and learn how are they see themselves as role models for others in their families, with friends, in their communities, the nation and the world
• Invite participants to sign the Inner Peace Treaty™ as a next step in our collective healing and expansion in consciousness
