Press Release For Immediate Release Date: September7, 2000 Contact: Madeline Taylor 1-902-542-9565 / Fax: 1-902-542-1740 David Keith of Britain’s Peace Network is in Nova Scotia from September 16th to October 1st, 2000. He is here for the second time for “16 Days of Peace” held at Heritage Hill Learning Centre, Wolfville, N.S.. Anna Redmond Keith is also here again, for the second year, to teach “Dances of Universal Peace” in three locations: Wolfville, Melvern Square and Halifax. This year, we are pleased to introduce “Quiet Days” to the program. “Peace work with Youth” is offered for the second time, as are “The Art of Living in Peace” and the facilitator’s Training for “The Art of Living in Peace.” We hope that you will join us for all or some of this program. Contact: Ron or Madeline for more information 1-902-542-9565. The “Art of Living in Peace” is a 14 hour program based on the teachings of Pierre Weil, President of the International Holistic University of Brazilia. During this workshop, we will look at the causes of war. We will look at peace. We will ask where peace begins. We will look at the individual: mind, body, emotions. If the individuals are peaceful, then a peaceful society is created, which in turn looks after the environment. If there is a fantasy of separation, then society creates disparity, fighting and war. The environment is degraded. * Peace is not just the absence of war or conflict. Peace is a profound, vibrant and joyful state of being. David Keith was born in Liverpool in 1935. From 1967-1974, he was in the ministery within the Church of England. Here he was involved in parish work, the hospital and chaplaincy. David founded a Liverpool-based registered charity to serve the young unemployed. He assisted the probation to set up a hostel as a therapeutic alternative to prison-supported men and women who lived in city houses; initiated similar charitable houses for homeless persons living in a loose-knit community centred around David and his family, who lived in their own home, using it as a core house in the same road. After receiving a Masters Degree in Organizational Development, David spent time subsequently researching and evaluating quality life in social education programmes. With the Sheffield Education Department, for 20 years, helping schools to manage change (consultancy, teacher training, school development and support-management of health and well-being for individuals and corporate groups of staff.) Over the past five years, David has extended his work to students from upper primary (elementary) level to those in college. When David and Pierre Weil met at Findhorn in Scotland, it became clear how much they had in common. Since then, David has visited in Brazilia twice and become authorized to facilitate “The Art of Living in Peace” workshop. David also developed the Peace Foundation Network (UK) which co-ordinates this work in Britain. David now spends most of his time fairly equally between facilitating,and training others in the Art of Living in Peace workshops, and working with young people in schools in Peace Education.
