BePeace Foundations Course

Unity Center of Davis and Christ Unity of Sacramento invite you to this transformative BePeace Foundations Course!
We have a great opportunity to have Rita Marie Johnson from Costa Rica who founded the Rasur Foundation (also an ordained Unity Minister) and has now become a global voice for Peace and has been instrumental in establishing a Ministry of Peace in Costa Rica.
The Rasur Foundation was founded by Rita Marie Johnson, a U.S. citizen who went to Costa Rica in 1993 to help strengthen its national model of peace. As a result, a new “peace package” is now being implemented: a Ministry for Peace that collaborates with a national Academy for Peace, which trains peace teachers in the schools to teach the practice of BePeace in each community. This new government infrastructure, coupled with grassroots peace skills, is inspiring hope around the world as people realize that similar models could be replicated in their countries.
BePeace synergistically combines the intelligence of the heart and compassionate communication into a daily practice for creative, peaceful living. This practice evolved from the work of the Institute of HeartMath™ and the work of Marshall B. Rosenberg at the Center for Nonviolent Communication™. Rasur Foundation Founding Director, Rita Marie Johnson, realized the powerful synergy between these two methods and developed the practice of BePeace to combine coherence through appreciation and connection to universal needs through empathy and honesty.
The BePeace Foundations Course is a 40-hour experiential workshop in which participants use easy-to-learn techniques to master the power of heart wisdom through scientifically proven methods.
To register Online: www.rasurinternational.org/bepeacecourses.html
Location and additional information may be found in the flyer on the right sidebar.
Cost: $495 for the entire week, until April 9th, then price goes up.
