E25 | Patrick, Murray & Thomas | Peace is the Path: Men’s Prayer for Peace
“There is no path to peace. Peace is the path.”
Here is an audio version.
A video version can be found below.
In this humble and reflective conversation, Patrick, Murray, Thomas, and I explore what it means to cultivate peace, especially as men, amidst these beautifully troubled times. We share personal stories of peace, discuss the conscious choice to embody peace, and delve into how story, beauty, artistry, and the warrior within can nourish the collective field of peace. We also discuss their upcoming event, Men’s Prayer for Peace, a grounded gathering for men in the Appalachian mountains this April. Through sound, breath, and co-creative connection, it offers a transformative space for cultivating peace amongst brothers.
