Matrix of Peace education, training and implementation. This framework embodies our peacebuilding technology. It is a multi-sector, whole-systems, consciousness-raising framework for designing and actualizing peaceful societies. We have used it in our co-partnerships with the Norwegian Nobel Institute. We have also used it as our training model with incubators Shakti Leadership and Alumni and Donors Unite. The biggest activity this year has been the near completion of a three-volume treatise on the framework. Volumes 1,2 and 3 cover Matrix theory, model and technology, respectively. The books are slated for publication in Spring 2025. The book has received a foreward by John Mackey, co-founder of Whole Foods Market and Love.Life, and an afterword by Dr. Timothy Fort, 2024 Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
