About Peace Revolution:

Peace Revolution is an online platform that strives to bring peace to the world by supporting individuals to find inner peace and sharing that peace with their families, friends and communities. By improving our creativity, interpersonal communication, clarity of mind, awareness, and problem solving skills, we build lasting personal strength as well as cross-cultural partnerships. Ultimately, through individual change and cooperation with others, peace will inevitably expand outwards from within to revolutionize and transform the world. The Peace Revolution project is a super highway leading to inner transformation, genuine peace, and lasting happiness. The great challenge lies in a coordinated, diligent, persevering effort designed to change the thinking and consequently the emotions and the actions to bring positive change within and around. Peace Revolution intends to initiate and foster an “evolution of consciousness” through the practice of the science and art of meditation, “Inner Peace Time”, as the principal means to developing better relationships with family, friends, and the community around us.
