Our Mission:

We believe that peaceful living can change the world and create abundant life. Given the ongoing conflicts in the world today and on the streets of our communities, we believe the time is right to offer a curriculum for peaceful living for our children. Peace needs to be active, immediate, inter-disciplinary, meaningful, creative, and about attitudes and behaviors. We have chosen yoga and the arts (in the broadest sense) as a method to enhance the teaching and practicing of peace.
We typically meet for snacks, crafts, stories, lessons, and outdoor time on the playground at the Deaverview Apartments in West Asheville.
