We call this space, these community forms, the Peace Table. The Peace table is a place where anybody interested in creating a better world can sit, learn, and discuss.

The name was not my idea.

The name itself comes from a life-changing vision Abraham Maslow had just a day after the Pearl Harbour attack.

On that day, as he shed tears over humanity's lack of understanding and all the unnecessary suffering that ensued , Maslow envisioned a peace table: a place where he saw people sitting around and talking about "human nature and hatred and war and peace and brotherhood…" and all the things needed to truly understand human beings and finally make real progress forward. Unfortunately, he died before he could establish that table.

In this space, I want us to run with his idea—to talk about the things mentioned above and more. The goal is to provide concepts, ideas, theories, explanations, and guidance on what we need to do so we can fully understand Human Development and Human Potential, and so we can reverse this planet's accelerating downward spiral.

If you want to contribute, you can. Help us with intelligent, grounded discussions, do some research, promote us on social media, subscribe and become a student—maybe even a teacher. Really, we're open to whatever you think can help us achieve our vision: a sustainable world of abundance, empowerment, and expanded creativity, free of suffering, poverty, hierarchy, power, and control. And our mission: the development and implementation of new theoretical and pedagogical paradigms capable of shifting our thinking, raising our individual and collective consciousness, and ushering in what psychologist Abraham Maslow referred to as Eupsychia, or the good society.
