Peace Week 2011, running from September 15-21, launches today (at 9:30 am Pacific / 12:30 pm Eastern) with social healer James Odea, followed by author, poet and activist Alice Walker.
There's still time to sign up for the largest virtual peace summit ever created! I did the 2010 Peace Week and it was awesome! If you have never been on a phone call with thousands of people from more than 100 countries who want Earth to be a planet of peace, you're in for a treat.
This year more than 50 global peacebuilders will help us make the shift to a culture of peace! Peace Week features groundbreaking sessions and profound insights for creating peace in your life, your family, your community and our world.
This tele-summit is totally free (but not an 800 number, so you have to pay for your phone call) and features leaders from around the world such as Alice Walker, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Arun Gandhi, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Daniel Goleman, Dr. Jane Goodall, Jane Velez-Mitchell and many more.
Even if you can't call in for all the sessions, you can download recordings after the calls.
