Spiritual Communities
Peace Through Action can help spiritual communities put their values into action by strengthening compassion, communication, and conflict resolution skills. We can support houses of worship, retreat centers, peace skills practice and spiritual support groups, spiritual leaders, and leader preparation programs as they help people build stronger relationships and healthier communities.
Here are ways we can help spiritual communities:
Teach peace skills your people can use every day. Our Essential Peace Skills Trainings and Practical Peace Solutions Sessions help people build compassion, strengthen communication, and respond to conflict in constructive ways. Our Essential Peace Skills learning experiences include modules on de-escalation, group dialogue, peace circles, and more. Our Practical Peace Solutions brief workshops address everyday situations people encounter in their families, neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities. We can also develop custom practical solutions sessions based on situations your community experiences.
Increase peace in your community. Set up Peace Through Action Meet-Ups so your people can create personal action plans for increasing peace in their relationships and communities.
Extend your ministry into the community. Mobilize your formally appointed and lay leaders to teach our workshops on compassion, constructive communication, and conflict resolution to community members.
We have designed our resources so everyday people can confidently lead discussions and workshops with their peers and neighbors. Your leaders can incorporate our content into existing ministries, community outreach, retreats, or educational programs.
We are able to provide our resources without charge (although we welcome contributions) if you choose to deliver our content to your members, volunteers, and communities yourselves. If you prefer Peace Through Action to deliver our content virtually or in-person, we can do that for a fee.
Here’s how to take the next step toward doing something with us:
- Write programs@peacethroughaction.org and we’ll share a preview of our content.
- Complete this Activity Interest Form and we will follow up.
Peace Through Action appreciates all that national service participants do to get things done for their communities and our country. We are grateful for the support AmeriCorps sponsors and sites provide their members, volunteers, and communities. We hope to contribute to their participants’ development and our communities’ social well-being. Let’s increase peace!
