how our Club works

Once you join you will get a free introductory course focused on helping you find your creative voice and learn to express yourself in a more interesting authentic way. Here is what you'll learn:

1. "Peace of Mind" A commitment to the process
2. "Heartfulness" A step beyond mindfulness
3. "Self-Acceptance" Love thyself before thy neighbor 
4. "Joining the P.C. Community" The Culture of Peace

We encourage our members to use their own experiences to personally speak out and engage with their community in support of initiatives of peace. You can become a Certified "Peacemaker", mediate and advocate for balance in your own way.

​Here are some of the ways we help:

• We Promote Peace: Members involved in peace initiatives get promotions and free publicity. 
• Self-care for Peacemakers: Active peacemakers are supported and encouraged to participate in weekly group classes and check-ins.
• Prepare You for Success: We offer all kinds of resources and turnkey projects you can customize.  
• We'll Walk You Through It: From a basic membership to becoming a full-time Peace Culture Club Advocate, we have many easy to follow pathways to different levels of engagement. We will guide you and to your desired level of membership and involvement.

​Later members have the option to further their training and personal evolution by developing their "P.C.C. leadership abilities", professional communication, and art industry trade skills. Here are some examples of the courses you can take:

• Becoming a Professional Artists or Arts professional
