Recent work in Luxembourg, October 2011

I recently returned from 10 days in Luxembourg.

While there my work transpired in three areas:

1. I taught a small seminar on principles of conflict mediation 
2. I met old and new friends and colleagues at diplomatic receptions and hosted events
3. I taught a seminar on family life 

Here are some images from the Principles of Peace meeting:

9/11: 10 Years After

9/11: 10 Years After

Wisdom Thinkers reflect on 9/11: Ten years after

is an international network of peace seekers, many at the top of their fields, committed to world change arising from the common ground of perennial wisdom found in the stories of sacred and secular tradition.

In recent years, good efforts have been made to advance the cause of peace through dialogue, but as time passes, the concept of bound communities talking across lines of separation is an insufficient starting point toward the outcome of a peaceful world. Wisdom in stories has proven to be the way to break the deadlock binding dialogue based peace efforts.

On Thursday, September 8, 2011, Wisdom Thinkers Network will sponsor an important conversation in New York, as part of the 92nd Street Y's decennial commemoration of 9/11, a series entitled: Searching For Answers In A Post-9/11 World.

Here is the program for this upcoming event. Please go to the site and register to attend.
