Peacemaker Retreats

Working retreats bring together Peacemakers from all over the globe. The Peacemakers receive training both from one another and from international experts. They are also a chance for the Peacemakers to spend time with others who share their critical but dangerous vocation and re-charge themselves for the important work to come.

MADISON, NEW JERSEY (2011)

During the retreat, the Peacemakers focused on solidifying their relationships and forming a formal Network to support each other, share techniques and experiences, project their work beyond their immediate networks, and speak with a collective voice. Out of this effort, the Peacemakers in Action Network was born.
