The staff of the Rhythm of Peace Project warmly invites you to participate in our grassroots project that encourages people of all ages to actively cultivate peace in their homes, families, and workplaces.  We hope you’ll consider being part of a diverse grassroots community of individuals, groups, and organizations that shares a common goal—


What does participation mean?  You’re invited to join in a daily focus on peace and to use the practical tools of peace-building in your daily activities.  As we join together to make peace a priority, each in our own ways, we give peace an honored place in daily life and build a healthy foundation for a culture of peace.

Here are some of the resources you can use to cultivate peace in your life:

(1)    The book, Rhythm of Peace, Cultivating Peace in Daily Life, by Deborah Aikens, PhD.

This beautiful 4-color volume of daily reflections on peace offers a simple support structure for remembering peace each day in the midst of our busy schedules.  The 30 themes, one for each day of the month, highlight some of the physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual tools we can use to cultivate peace in our daily interactions.

(2)    The Rhythm of Peace community website.

This is the online home of the rhythm of peace community.  It's a place to connect, collaborate, and join in making peace a priority. The 30 themes for cultivating peace in daily life, one for each day of the month, are also offered on the website.

If you’d like to receive periodic rhythm of peace community news and updates, resources, and action alerts, we invite you to join the online community.

We believe that there are tens of thousands of people across the U.S. who contribute to peace each day—men and women of all ages who make a sincere effort to cultivate both inner and outer peace in their daily lives.  We also believe that many others are looking for a way to express their commitment to peace, and that some of them feel isolated and alone.

The Rhythm of Peace Project offers an opportunity for all people who care about peace to unite their efforts in a way that respects each individual contribution while honoring our collective strength.

We hope you’ll join us by adding your unique voice to a diverse and warm-hearted community of men and women who strive each day to make peace a priority…
