An introduction to the Pacem Arts
We live in challenging times and it appears that the world is at war. While many are choosing to go to war against others in an effort to address their concerns, there is a small group of people who are realizing that the problems we face runs far deeper than we realized and the solutions rest squarely within each individual. There is no blame, but rather a realization that each of us are 100% responsible and accountable for our actions and our participation in the war that has manifested as a result of our ignorance. When we acknowledge this, we find that the solution is not war against our neighbour, but to find peace, knowledge and conscious, spiritual awareness within our selves.
Our history is littered with war, violence, colonization, greed, lust, discrimination, theft, hatred and pain. For thousands of years this has been passed down from generation to generation, to the point where most of us are not even consciously aware of why we struggle so much in our lives.
The Pacem Arts / The Art of Peace is designed to help each individual re-connect with their heart space so that the healing journey can begin. The Sacred Heart Circle is a core principle of the school which creates a safe space for people to be vulnerable and do this profound shadow work. When the student is ready, they are welcome to then start the decolonization process where we challenge generations of assumptions, programming, brainwashing and other chains that tend to keep people attached to the war machine.
The goal is to do the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing so that we can find peace within ourselves. That is where the true peace is found. Politicians and state bureaucrats will never be able to bring peace to the world because they are the war machine and it is not their job. Their peace requires force, violence and coercion, which is not peaceful. True peace is our job and it is found within, especially when we heal ourselves and fully integrate the four parts of our being to the point of balance and being centered. Spiritual awakening then helps us walk a path of non-violence and peaceful non-compliance as we venture towards an evolutionary shift in consciousness. When we reach this point, self-defense is no longer required. We have walked off the battle field.
The Pacem Arts is a unique and disciplined art form designed to help each practitioner heal their heart, discipline their mind, bring conscious awareness to all their relationships, practice healthy and peaceful communication protocols, study history and explore our dependencies so that we can all work towards true independence and explore the richness and prosperity when we build inter-independent relationships with one another.
Within the framework of this school, we will talk about feelings, traumas, history, relationships, behaviours, boundaries, morality, ethics, spirituality, ceremonies, protocols and even dig into the system and our relationship with it. I would recommend that you start with my book “Graduating Life with Honours”, which is a free download. It lays out the foundation of the school very well. If you want to join, the Sacred Heart Circle is the core of this art form. We cannot do any of the other work without first doing the internal healing work. Others attend the Decolonization Classes at the same time and do well as the content we cover does trigger people, which can then be resolved or discussed in the Sacred Heart Circles.
If you love this work and want to support the school, I graciously accept donations. If you want to support people who cannot afford to train in the school, I’m setting up a sponsorship program to connect practitioners with philanthropists. I also have a public blog, so please feel free to read my public posts to help you get a better feel for what we do here. This school triggers people as we break down the status quo in order to transform ourselves into a new paradigm of life and govern ourselves under the Law of Love. Change is a constant here and it is challenging! If you are up to the challenge, then welcome to the Pacem Arts.
UNPLUG Workshop
In 2017 I performed a number of presentations to help people work through acknowledging our dependencies and what we can do to become independent. I’m offering this presentation to you now to help explain the type of work that we are doing here in the school. Special thank you to Sweetgrass Sitting Bear for his opening prayers, smudge and friendship!
