In partnership with breath work and meditation experts, Cities4Peace, we offer these ‘Seek Peace Within Yourself and Others’ programs online, virtually and in-person. We manage these programs and provide special pricing.
All members of society, from actionable community members, to leaders in education, businesses, non-profits, governmental and non-governmental organizations are being challenged to take action for peace and justice.
Urban Challenges Due to Violence
Degradation of Public Health
An exposure to violence directly leads to drug abuse, depression, anxiety, aggression and other mental health issues thereby affecting individuals, families, communities and cities.
Deterrent to Business and Trade
An increase in crime and violence reduces the number of active business establishments, and directly affects associated profit margins and employment opportunities.
Compromise to Livability
An increase in violence jeopardizes safety and security, affecting retention and sustainability of human and material resources. Cities that are non-inclusive and unsafe tend to have lower standards of living.
