At first, he asked his brother to help him with his idea, but his brother was too busy. So he decided to write it himself, and after completing the script, decided he wanted to direct his film — he had grown so fond of the characters and the story, that he didn’t want to hand it off to anyone else. He created his film, had a great deal of support and wonderful actors to carry his unique story about love and family connection. He e...2023-09-2440 min

She was arrested and convicted of treason, and executed for her actions. Yet, her actions were of conscience and of heart, even with the limited tools that she had.

NPR is holding these kinds of connecting meetings around the country, often via zoom, called One Small Step.

Peace On Podcast by The Peace AllianceHope Story Circle with Crystel Patterson - June 10, 2023Crystel Patterson has reinvented herself, becoming an author of a series of children’s books. It was truly a plot twist, as she had a fulfilling career in technology consulting, never considered herself a writer, nor had a passion for writing. The occasions that planted this seed had to do with her two young boys. Her 8-year old, after George Floyd’s murder, asked the question: Why do police keep killing black people? Those were his words, and they stuck with Crystel. She didn’t know how to respond. Her younger, 3-year old son had memorized a book and recited i...2023-06-1239 min

Peace On Podcast by The Peace AllianceHope Story Circle with Marianne Simon - March 11, 2023Marianne Simon shared a deeply personal story about the evolution of her thoughts about her next steps in life. When she began thinking about finding another man to share her life with after being a widow for six years, after 26 years of marriage, she realized that it was not about finding the next ‘big thing’ in her life - be it another man, or where her career would go next in this chapter of her life. Rather, it was about being open to the fire side of her spirit that had remained quiet for so long. It was about saying ...2023-03-1235 min

Peace On Podcast by The Peace AllianceHope Story Circle with Jeff Wallach - February 25, 2023When Jeff Wallach began to plan the story he might tell, he began with change. This story morphed into a story of survival, and about his passion for full expression. In his home, within his own four walls, he was loved and supported, and felt safe. Outside of those walls, he was under attack from bullies, bigotry, and bad humans. In middle school, a teacher advised him to get out of his shell, he was seen as painfully shy — and recommended that he volunteer at an animal shelter, or a theatre. His mother took him to a community theatre that ver...2023-02-2633 min

Peace On Podcast by The Peace AllianceHope Story Circle with Karlie Everhart - February 11, 2023Karlie Everhart began with a Maya Angelou quote - “you may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” Her story was about her experiences that began with her feeling as though she was not enough, and collecting evidence to support that feeling. While outward perceptions may have been of a very successful woman in her 20’s, and while she was a strong achiever in many ways, she still felt as though she were not enough.

She felt physically different, and saw that the pillars of society once thought to be unshakable lose their strength. Exploring new thoughts of complexity and simplicity, she found ways to expand and now knows that her mission is to serve. What wisdom do each of...2023-01-1537 min

Peace On Podcast by The Peace AllianceHope Story Circle with Kevin Winkler - December 10, 2022Kevin Winkler shared a story about transitions. His perspective is that when we are going through transitions in life, we don’t really see them as a transition — and after time passes, we have more clarity. His transitions from childhood in rural Oklahoma to living in San Diego, and through three careers — from a dancer, to a career in library science with the New York Public Library, and in his current career as an author of several books related to the performing arts, have all been connected by his passions and evolving interests. What transitions have you experienced, and what did y...2022-12-1142 min

Peace On Podcast by The Peace AllianceHope Story Circle with Ann Cummings - April 23, 2022Ann Cummings is a professional facilitator of Restorative Justice Circles at www.circlepracticeconsulting.com, and brought forth a tender and vulnerable story of how a circle went wrong. The core of the story is looking at how do each of us recognize with awareness and attunement to a given situation, and see the relational aspects between people — or do not do those things. Often we have the skills and operate poorly. Often we do not have the skills, and don’t know how to react. In some cases, we are in situations where we feel less power to take acti...2022-04-2546 min

Peace On Podcast by The Peace AllianceHope Story Circle with Rivera Sun - April 9, 2022Rivera Sun is an author, notably of fantasy novels for children with a fresh take on the themes of courage, character, humanness, friendship. In her writing, she began to wonder if we needed the violence that seems to persist in the story-telling in fantasy. Instead of trying to win the war, could we instead try to prove the heroism? We face epic struggles — climate crisis, nuclear weapons, pandemic — and can feel very small. That’s where these stories come in — the framework, metaphors, role models and heroes, and the ways to overcome the struggles without choosing violence. The group conversations...2022-04-1143 min

The concepts of balance and equanimity - and the difference between them - were explored. Jelena shared the idea of being on a see-saw to find balance, and yet at this moment in our current global situation with Russia invading Ukraine, it feels as though we are on the see-saw with the whole world, and there is a big imbalance.
