About Circle Leaders

All of humanity is being called to attention by our earth planet
and an evolving state of consciousness that is shifting our collective awareness to usher in Universal Peace for the next millennia.
This is the time on our earth for the people to come together and for us collectively to create the world of peace that we all dream about.
And we all know, this is only possible if we each choose to
make the changes in ourselves first.
Creating a culture of peace that we choose to live by is indeed a discipline.
This inner discipline we call the First Peace,
as this is the first step we must take, together.
We are each dreamers, at cause in our world. Let us dream together.

We welcome you to the circle of First Peace Circle Leaders that is growing exponentially as leaders step forward in different countries around the world. Your choice to guide a First Peace Circle through the yearlong learning journey, one day a month, will be a valuable contribution to bringing principles of higher consciousness into the world.

Following are the 3 steps needed to register your circle and the materials and curriculum you will receive to guide your circle upon the completion of your registration. Read further to discover the organic structure of the People’s Movement of the First Peace, and the elements that support the movement.

Determine if you are suited to be a Circle Leader. If you answer the following questions with a yes answer, you are well matched to facilitate a circle.

Do you have prior experience or training in working with small groups in a non-hierarchical way?

Do you have a spiritual way and are you open to other spiritual ways?

Do you have a desire to assist in activating higher consciousness for peace?

If you feel you are not able to say yes to the above questions at this time, you are invited to contact a Trained SeedPlanter and sign up for a Circle Leader Training on our website: http://www.disciplineofpeace.org/Seedplanters.html

If you have answered yes, please continue.

Gather a circle in your area of 5 or more people who would like to go on a learning journey with you to discover and practice inner peace in a learning community. 12 Teaching DVD’s, a Handbook, a Curriculum Guide and Monthly Assignments are provided along with other materials to support the learning.
