Principle
#1
Look Within
learn wisdom
 
Before leading,
we must have a compass to guide us. Looking within involves personal
reflection and spiritual awareness.
We
start all of our programs with prayers and meditation from all
the traditions we represent. Each morning, participants
share stories and Scripture from their own tradition based base
on common themes - like charity, forgiveness
and humility - which are shared by all faith traditions.
In
addition we promote two core affirmations which are informed
by spiritual traditions.
Our first affirmation is that all humanity is one family. Our second
affirmation is that human beings are essentially spiritual.
Global
PeaceWorks believes that the cause of problems is rooted in
the way we think. By elevating our understanding and way
of perceiving the world, we can bring positive change to the
world. Most
importantly, we encourage each participant to think and act based
on what is of ultimate importance to her or him.
