PEACE CONFERENCE A BIG SUCCESS!

Explorations, co-sponsored with Hancock Shaker Village,
took place September 17, 2011 at Hancock
Shaker Village, Pittsfield, MA, a designated City of
Peace.
 Keynote Speaker for the Conference is Congressman
Congressman Dennis Kucinich gave a stirring and inspiring keynote address about lasting peace, and
there were 18 interactive workshops focusing on diverse peaceful
practices, from the past and the present, that inspire
people to live more peaceful lives.
The evening was capped by an outstanding concert by
Paul Winter, a journey through his world of "living music."

FREE SHOWING OF KUCINICH SPEECH
An inspiring speech by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) was the highlight of
the recent Peace Conference co-sponsored by the Center for Peace through
Culture and Hancock Shaker Village.
There was a free showing of a film of this keynote speech at the Triplex
in Great Barrington on Sunday, November 20 at 11 am, sponsored by CPC and the
Triplex. An open discussion will follow.
As quoted in the Berkshire Eagle, Kucinich praised the conference, saying
that such gatherings "have great power. Through the luminous quality of
these gatherings you create a counter-balance, a potential for a new world
to emerge. People are gathering all around the world for a similar
aspiration."
