… people creating a more peaceful world Peace Podcast #25: Brian Berman
Artist for Peace
How can you bring peace into your life with Art, Thoughts and Conversation?
Listen to Brian talk about his in peace building, and how it came from his years of meditation and peace practices. He teaches love and compassion for oneself as an essential ingredient, for without peace on the inside there can be no peace on the outside.
Brian is an award-winning sculptor as well as the former codirector and facilitator of the Compassionate Listening JewishGerman Reconciliation Project. He and his wife Lisa established the educational non-profit Awakening Peace Inc after they cocreated Ojai, CA, as an International City of Peace (ICP).
His sculptures represent the importance of stillness, serenity, and a peaceful presence as part of creating a sacred space. His role as a peacemaker was born as a child when he wandered through an exhibit about the Holocaust. Later, while facilitating a Jewish German Reconciliation Project in Germany, he realized Hitler had made him, inadvertently, a peace-maker.

Peace Podcast #17: Joyce Wycoff
Gratitude through art and words
Is peace a dance between gratitude and generosity?
While searching for the meaning of life, Joyce began exploring gratitude and generosity, seemingly separate yet, somehow, two-sides of the same coin. In 2016, she published Gratitude Miracles, the journal that could change everything and began a serious gratitude practice as she wandered through Mexico for two years, enjoying the beauty, color, music, food, and most of all, the people. After a strong yearning for home brought her back to California, she began a deeper dive into gratitude, recognizing it as a pathway to almost every good thing … self-understanding, relationships, happiness, resilience, health and energy, connection to self and the world around us, relationships, abundance … and peace. She is now working with her long-term collaborator, Lynne Snead to create a radically different approach to practicing gratitude and understanding self.
