There is a new narrative of peace quietly and powerfully emerging around the world ā one rooted in ancient wisdom and accelerated by modern science and technology. In the past few decades, there has been an exponential growth of personal and planetary peacebuilding initiatives, including:
- More people are meditating today to experience inner peace than ever before in the history of humanity.
- Scientists are validating the benefits of ancient meditation practices and are proving that humans are actually hard-wired for empathy, compassion and cooperation.
- More and more people in all sectors of society are recognizing that humanity is interconnected in a web of life.
- Nonviolent Communication and other forms of peaceful and compassionate communication are becoming mainstream.
- There are hundreds of colleges and universities with peace and conflict resolution programs, compared to only a handful in 1984.
- Community mediation, alternative dispute resolution and restorative justice are becoming common practice in many parts of the world, providing cost-effective ways to resolve conflicts while strengthening relationships and communities.
- There is an annual Global Peace Index that scientifically measures the most peaceful countries in the world and the economic and social impact of a lack of peace.
