Peace Revolution Fellowship Program

After our visit to diverse countries in the Caribbean last year, we realize how much potential for peacebuilding and meditation these beautiful islands have. Then, for 2016, we decided to perform the first Global Peace on the Move in the Caribbean, in the beautiful island of Jamaica.

The Caribbean is well known for their warm and beautiful islands, joyful people, reggae music and a mix of cultures that is what brought us to this part of the continent. They already know how to live in peace, connected to the earth, sky and the sea. Peace Revolution wants to bring them another type of peace to be found inside themselves, an inner peace that will blossom in outer peace for their region. We will share with the Caribbean a simple tool: meditation.

The fellowship offers a 14 days intensive training program providing participants with deeper insight in the relationship between inner peace and sustainable world peace and enhancing their ability to create peace within their family, professional and social environment.

This training starts with a 42 Days online self-development program on our interactive and free platform which will help you to get the habit of daily meditation. Then, you need to perform a Online Special OPS where you will get the chance to share this practice with others. After doing these activities you will be ready to develop your PIPO proposal, which is an initiative on how to share peace with more people in your country of residence.
Participants will learn how meditation can help them achieve inner peace in a 14 days retreat. They will be able to develop positive thinking, gain emotional resilience, and increase human capacities such as empathy and kindness. We will also practise mindfulness during yoga and other complementary group activities.

Our fellowships also work on the following topics:

Conflict resolution and the role of the basic human self-disciplines
The role of our habits in our daily life and how to improve; the 5 Rooms of life
The factors that determine our perception to think, act and speak; relation between body and mind
Leadership: Eight pillars for a stable peaceful society

Everyone interested in finding their inner peace and share it with people around you is welcome to apply. Every profession and study is important: social workers, holistic therapists, business studies, artists, and a long etcetera.
