About the Event:
We invite you to join a special private dinner event co-hosted by the For Peace initiative and the cour·age project.
Courage is a foundational quality in cultivating inner and outer peace – it is this inner strength that, when embodied, allows for the wisdom of the heart to guide our decisions.
Life does not come from food but from sharing the presence of love. In Spanish and Portuguese 'comer' (literally co-eating) means to eat in community. One does not eat to satisfy the sensual desire of taste alone or even the need of the body, but to fully savor the sense of community – the possibility of being one with the other(s) and the world.
Our journey through the evening will be composed of a presentation about the For Peace initiative and a transformational sound experience by the cour·age project. We will share some delicious Syrian food, cooked and provided by our friends at Kreuzberger Himmel, who's founders and team are refugees from Syria.
Together we will create a space of presence to explore the complexity, beauty and emergent nature of cultivating heart coherence and peace while engaging in current and global issues as artists, conscious activists, (social) entrepreneurs, lovers of life, and visionary creators.
Dijana, Diogo and Cristina welcome you to an evening of talk, food, and exploration.
*We kindly ask you to make a donation of 40 € per person to save your seat and to cover the dining costs. Thank you very much, we look forward to spending a wonderful evening with you.
Meet your hosts:
Cristina Arau, founder & executive director of the civil society organization Love for Life, will present For Peace, a holistic initiative to co-create a culture of peace positioned at the intersection of personal development and societal transformation. For Peace works for the establishment of a Federal Ministry for Peace in Germany and the adoption of a UN Resolution calling for the creation of Ministries and Departments of Peace worldwide to build a global architecture for peace and to support the 'Culture of Peace'. A collaborative initiative, For Peace is building an embodied, people-powered movement from the bottom-up and the inside-out to elevate consciousness and strengthen participation in politics, policy, and society.
Diogo Teixeira & Dijane Galijasevic will present the cour·age project that explores the subtle relationships between head, heart, and hand, inner and outer worlds, individuality and community, aiming to understand the effects taking place (literally) as something imperceptible but constructive and inextinguishable. In a globalized and fast-paced world where technology is creating so many opportunities to connect as well as to disconnect, and where "attention, which has now been consumed by a state of permanent distraction" (Aureli, 2013), became a scarce resource, cour·age aims to reconnect oneself with the environment. This is done in real-time and space, through human hearts and digital technology. With cour·age we may reach the universal and enduring meaning of things beyond their particular expressions.
