The Invitation
You are invited as warriors and stewards of the heart to join us to practice peace and explore what is possible for The Practising for Peace Dojo in the world at this now.
We come together as practitioners of life and peace to share and be in rigorous and deep shared practice. We will be in nature and enjoying one of the most beautiful places of Denmark. It is simple, beautiful, basic and invites us to connect to what is essential.
The purpose of this space is threefold. 

  • To share what we are learning about practising peace in our different contexts and strengthen our shared practice

  • To enjoy each others company, cook, eat, drink, laugh, train and be in nature in order to strengthen our community of practice.

  • To explore what is possible now for the Practising for Peace Dojo in the world

What is the Practising for Peace Dojo? 
We train in practices that develop and build abilities for wiser decisions and skillful heartfelt actions. We can’t solve what has already happened, but we can start today by practicing peace consciously, individually and together. Peace could be more than just a topic. It can become a practice. Something that we respect, not just talk about. 
We can go beyond the idea that a dojo needs to be a physical place, and consider that a Practicing for Peace Dojo first and foremost resides in our hearts, and that practice can happen wherever humans gather with an attitude and will to awaken the Warrior of the Heart within.
How may we use our consciousness, our intelligence, our courage, our will, our kindness, our compassion, and our ability to be clear-headed, to begin to practice peace?
We can joyfully give birth to more compassionate warriorship to be helpful in building a more peaceful world. Wherever practitioners show up and are ready to learn and teach both, there the dojo arises.
