Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) August 17, 2016 -- Pacifica Graduate Institute Alumni Relations, in partnership with other community organizations, will host "Pondering Peace in a World of Turmoil", one of the largest community peace forums to be held in Santa Barbara County.

Beginning Friday, September 9th through Sunday, September 11, 2016, local families, community members, city officials, artists, spiritual leaders, renowned theorists, and PGIAA alumni will gather to encourage, inspire, and plan steps toward peace during these turbulent times.

Pacifica, as the global touchstone in the field of depth psychology, must contribute her voice to the national dialogue.

Post this

The free event is open to the public, and will take place at Pacific Graduate Institute Ladera Lane Campus, 801 Ladera Lane, Santa Barbara, California 93108. Dr. Stephen Aizenstat, Founding President and Chancellor, stated, “Pacifica, as the global touchstone in the field of depth psychology, must contribute her voice to the national dialogue. I believe that what we offer will benefit from our first looking inside our own personal experience, community engagement, and institutional practices. I know that this is the more challenging way to proceed, yet, this process lives at the heart of our tradition. We are part of a lineage where mindful self-inquiry companions personal and social action.”

Developed and organized by Pacific Graduate Institute’s Office of Alumni Relations, “Pondering Peace in a World of Turmoil” is a three-day family friendly community forum designed to promote peace through intercultural dialogue, reflection, celebration, and artistic expression. This unique event features panel discussions, presentations, movie screenings, poetry readings, art exhibits, musical performances, refreshments and more!

“This year marks the 15th anniversary of 9/11. In remembrance of the many lives lost through that one grievous act of terrorism, as well as the recent acts of violence rocking so many communities throughout the U.S., it is my hope that our event will inspire other individuals and institutions to step up and create ways to begin dialogue within their own communities,” noted Dianne Travis-Teague, Director of Alumni Relations.

Keynote speakers include David Krieger, President of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and Katrina S. Rogers, Ph.D., President of Fielding Graduate University.

Mr. Krieger has served as president of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation since 1982 and has been a leader in the global movement to eliminate nuclear weapons. He has lectured throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia on issues of peace, security, international law, and the abolition of nuclear weapons, and has received many awards for his work toward a nuclear weapons-free world. He has been interviewed on CNN, MSNBC, BBC, and many other national and international television and radio shows.

Dr. Rogers is President of Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California, a distinguished graduate school known for advanced education in the fields of clinical psychology, human talent & development, organizational leadership, and education. She has served the international non-governmental and educational sectors in many roles, including executive, board member, and teacher. She has also led the European campus for Thunderbird School of Global Management in Geneva, Switzerland for a decade, working with international organizations such as the Red Cross, World Trade Organization, United Nations Development Program, and the European Union.

Sponsors to date include: Fielding Graduate University, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, Voices Magazine, Martin Luther King Committee, and Best Western Hotel-Carpinteria.
