New Thought Chicago / Peace Initiatives

New Thought Chicago is in the activity of Conscious Change. Building a culture of peace and non-violence demands the synergistic movement of thought and action; ideas and finance, possibility through achievement. A new culture of peace is already happening; we are merely here to bring it into view.

American Mystic Joel Goldsmith has written, "…peace is not here on earth, until you bring it." At NTC we believe consciousness creates our world, our experience. To build a culture of peace there needs to be a new activism for peace consciousness building. The experiences of life are built one thought at a time: instill thoughts of peace by exemplifying it as an experience in possibility.

New Thought Chicago is currently Sponsoring, Presenting and/or Organizing the following,

Peace Building Projects:
