Announcing Our annual event, Opening Space for Peace and High
Performance, continues this year, again online - Friday and Saturday
January 16-17, 2026. We will have registration information available
soon. This will be an Open Space Technology event with the theme and
invitation:

In the face of untruth, suffering, and upheaval, what is OUR WORK to do NOW?

Join us over MLK weekend for our Annual Peace & High-Performance Open
Space, a space to explore what real peace requires. Together, we will
challenge “passive peace”, explore what holds us back, and discover how
to balance courage, action, and connection—personally, locally,
nationally, and globally.

“Peace is the dynamic interrelationship of complex forces (including
chaos, conflict and confusion) productive of wholeness, health and
harmony. The Practice of Peace is the intentional creation of the
requisite conditions under which Peace may occur.” - Harrison Owen

Bring your ideas, questions, and curiosity. Your voice matters. What is
our work now?
