What We’re About

Holistic Health & Inner Peace

We treat wellness as a communal imperative and a prerequisite for high-stakes leadership.

We use spiritual formation, communal living, pilgrimage, and mentorship to cultivate contemplative peacemakers.

Immersive Praxis

Peace Fellowship is designed to create a pipeline of leaders with wisdom, skills, and networks that will catalyze their impact on peace.

Constructive Innovation & The Business of Peace

We aim to foster a "Peace-First" economy by training leaders to move from a good idea to a verifiable solution.

Pilgrimage

Through a domestic or international pilgrimage, fellows will select a domestic internship and observe firsthand how peace and innovation are being built in global contexts
