Sometimes peace, both in ourselves and in the world, is portrayed as an elusive, idealistic, or spiritual ideal. But peace is, in fact, very grounded and mundane. It is rooted in the body. Certainly those whose bodies are in physical danger struggle to experience peace. Hugh Taft-Morales reflects on building embodied peace from the inside out through meditative practices. How can we nurture inner peace by more fully embracing our physical nature, from the breaths we take to our mortal, temporal existence? How might it help us build a world where everyone experiences peace and justice?
Hugh Taft-Morales serves as Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society and the Baltimore Ethical Society and is a member of the Ethical Action Committee of the American Ethical Union (AEU). Hugh taught philosophy and history for twenty-five years in Washington, D. C., after which he transitioned into Ethical Culture Leadership. In April of 2009 he graduated from the Humanist Institute and was certified as an Ethical Culture Leader by the AEU in 2010. For more information, CLICK HERE.
