Joanna Macy, the noted creator of “The Work That Reconnects”, writes: “The energy expended in pushing down despair is diverted from more creative uses, depleting the resilience and imagination needed for fresh visions and strategies.”

We are living through a time in our collective history when great and overwhelming confusion and debilitating fear often result in the temptation to withdraw, surrendering hope and our ability to act.

The Kateri Peace Conference has always been a labor of love. Anyone can attend for free; however, we ask for a modest $20 - $40 donation.

As we’re sure you understand, there are expenses for both days. Your donation helps cover the cost of lunch, a donation to the Shrine, speaking honoraria, and other refreshments.

Donations will be accepted at the events. Checks can be made to Veterans for Peace.
