Practicing Peace Dojos

 

Co-found of the Art of Hosting, Toke Moeller, has been developing what he calls Practicing Peace Dojos.

In Japanese, dojo means, “place of the Way” and place for two activities:  a training ground for learning specific techniques of an art and as an arena for individual self realization and growth.

The Peace Dojos promise to be a powerful tool in promoting peace around the world and helping people connect their desire for peace with their actions.

The Peace Dojo builds on the Art of Hosting which is presented in this video.
