In Dallas, the Peace Poetry Proect will be facilitated by me as an artist in residence with Big Thought at Keist Elementary. This location runs the entire month of July and participants are already accounted for.  
The Creators Gift 137 was founded as an opportunity to share peace principles: “Peace Is Real” and “Peace Resides Within Us at All Times”. The Peace Ambassador Movement (PAM) will serve as an example of results that can be gained from experiencing The CG137's other services (Peace Poetry Project, Colored Lives, Focus: Peace Meditation). The PAM will be a virtual experience with aspects of the program occurring in various physical locations.
