Building the Beloved Community in Detroit
Take a journey in discovering new perspectives, new alternatives and new approaches for building a culture that reflects the vision we hold.
Peace Ambassador Training
Join us as we gather together to build the Beloved Community. The Peace Ambassador Training is a foundational first step for integration of the latest conscious principles, healing personally and collectively, organizing at a deeper quantitative level and learning from evolutionary leaders and models designed to effectively implement systems change at a communal level.
Communal engagement invites a shift of consciousness and expanded community building of a magnitude which can not be achieved through individual learning.
The course offers an extensive overview of whole-person / whole-system approach to consciousness. We will experience together a profound personal and communal conscious interplay of awareness, engagement and actions on a scalable capacity from self to the greater community/whole.
A Whole New World
Bringing the new cultural vision into reality requires the willingness to develop a whole new mind-set, skill set and heart set.
As a community we are offered the opportunity to learn a new set of conscious peacebuilding tools for addressing government, violence, economic strife and more as we engage in transformational change.
We will:
- Recognize our own core consciousness, realizing our full potential.
- Support each other in the transformational process.
- Build capacities to collaborate and cocreate on a greater scale.
- Open up to new realms of integral consciousness for forward evolutionary movement.
- Expand our role as leaders and support others as leaders, while building a network, inviting more to serve in offering their unique purpose and gifts.

A Brief Description of the Course
The 12 week training moves through four pillars for building a culture of peace from inner to outer transformation.
This course designed to offer evolutionary wisdom for how to heal the roots of violence, oppression and racial divide from a whole perspective of inner to outer…co-creating as community a new social culture of peace.
At the heart of humanity we desire to resolve our differences in peace. Yet as individuals and at the community level, we as a whole, are not skilled at such necessary practices…and we are not skilled at training people with such tools for effective communication, dialogue and peaceful resolve.
This training moves us through a journey consisting of four pillars that offers wisdom, programs and resources for building peaceful relations in our lives, within community and organizing for systemic transformation. Leading the sessions are evolutionary leaders who are committed to creating a world without violence and building a new culture of revolutionary living.
The Four Pillars of Peacebuilding:
- Deep personal peace
- Healing personal and collective wounds
- Communicating peace
- Mastering systems change and organizing for peace
