"The world is dangerous not because of those who do harm, but because of those who look at it without doing anything." - Albert Einstein

WHAT FUTURE WILL YOU CREATE? - the Canadian Peace Initiative (“CPI”), which is based on the principle that peace starts at home, with ‘me’.  CPI is a process to provide the venues, support and guidance to ‘Open Space to Open Minds and Hearts to Peace’.  It is open, transparent, patient and committed, drawing people from all walks of life, freeing them from their stasis and mobilizing them.  Understanding that everyone is a peace leader and peace educator, emphasis is placed on helping people to be more effective leaders and educators, drawing on their own potential and inner strengths, galvanizing, inspiring and energizing the peace movement.  Peace education (raising social intelligence and building successful relationships) is our best investment and information our most important resource.   As we take ownership of peace others will follow – because it will be uplifting and empowering, it will be infectious, and lead to sudden, massive, cultural change.  The CPI process has led to the Canadian Culture of Peace Program.  See http://www.cultureofpeace.ca and http://www.peace.ca
