Whilst Creators of Peace currently focuses on women, this session encourages us all to explore what peace means to us as facilitators and what our potential roles as “peace-builders” could be.  We will also discuss some of the facilitation methods and principles used in the Creators of Peace circles.   The focus is on building trust and friendship across divides and differences through sharing personal stories and on understanding the nature of peace and the role of each of us plays in destroying or creating peace.  Creators of Peace Circles have taken place in over thirty countries around the world from Sudan to Switzerland, to Sydney and the Solomon Islands.   Creators of Peace: http://www.iofc.org/creators-of-peace   Facilitators   The session will be co-facilitated by Christina Deangelis and Shoshana Faire, who have been running Peace Circles in Australia, Nepal, Switzerland and elsewhere.  As an experienced and skilful facilitator, Christina has worked with over 100 organisations in Australia and overseas.
