Creating World Peace from the Inside Out
(All ages - All families)

"Yet these are but as gentle reminders that they that would know peace must find it first within their own hearts, and be at peace with that which is creative, that is constructive in the affairs and the experiences of men - if they would find and bring peace in their associations and their contacts with individuals." (1531-1)

Join Ellen Cayce, Bruce and Martie Shelton, and Robert Krajenke, in a fun, informative, and inspiring week designed to help tune up and realign our personal ideals with Cayce principles on spiritual peacemaking....from the inside out!

Daily inner peace activities will include creative expression through art, personal altar making, universal dance, and music. Discussions will focus on understanding world religions and the art of cultivating silence. Our time will include a time of prayer for each of the world's nations focusing special energy on trouble spots around the globe. Each day popular author and storyteller, Robert Krajenke will share stories based on the Cayce Readings and world traditions. Culminating our week of sharing, dancing, playing, and praying for peace will be a ceremony to re-energize A.R.E. Camp's Peace Pole with a popular A.R.E. camp tradition, a bonfire peace prayer vigil. Each participant will return home with a renewed spirit and tools for creating harmony in their homes, in their hearts and in the world.
