Seeds Of Peace

Freitekh joined Seeds of Peace at a very young age and attended the camp in Maine in fall 2002 and 2003. Freitekh believed that peace is the solution and without it, the destructive tendencies of our species will continue to move us closer to catastrophe. The gulf oil spill is but one example. We human beings, in our true essence, are capable of the most glorious and uplifting actions. We have the potential to create a world at peace and become what I like to call “Homo Ahimsa” — the nonviolent human.
