Home > Echoes of Peace

All participants in Power of Peace create “Affirmation Posters” as a culminating exercise. Each participant, students, adults and facilitators, has a blank poster with his/her chosen Peace name in the middle of the poster. The participants write comments on each other’s posters, affirming the positive qualities of that person and offering encouragement for that person on their journey. Below are comments on Michael Arterberry’s Affirmation Posters. The names have been changed.

 

Thanks for helping me to see through the darkness and step closer to the light of my own soul.

Respectful Rashid

 

I cannot put to words how incredible this experience has been. You have been so real and I hold you in the highest respect. You are an incredible and strong man; you have devoted yourself to something great and inspired many. I have not been able to communicate my feelings or trust in a while and the past two days have been just a mental reprieve my busy life needed. The only words I can find are Thank You, with all of my heart.

Awesome Alice
