A Community Resource for the Study of Peace through Education, Training, and Contemplative and Embodied Practices.

Braided Way Peace Collective 501(c)(3) is in the formative stage of its journey, having been born in the challenging year of 2020. It is formed by a broad and diverse community of people that are interested in cultivating a personal practice of internal peace, calm, and goodwill. As a collective, we have come together to offer diverse threads in exploring what we call Unity Arts.
