Below is additional information submitted by Connie Marez:
"As a professional body-worker and healer for over 10 years, I have studied all aspects of healing modalities, from anatomy and physiology and massage techniques; to Reiki and chakra balancing and aura cleansing.  I’ve come to the conclusion that the one thing which needs healing the most is our minds.  If our thoughts are truly made manifest, then to have healthy bodies and healthy lives, we need to have a disciplined mind.  This is what ACIM teaches.  To have a disciplined mind means to have our minds and our thoughts reside in that state of peace, joy, happiness, and love. Only there, as that state, is our natural inheritance.  We have forgotten in the busyness of our lives that we do have a choice in how we live our lives.  ACIM speaks of having to make only two choices; between love or fear.  In this unreal/real world that we live in, we are for the most part , programmed to choose fear.  But there is another choice.  We do have within us the ability and innate desire to choose something else, love.  ACIM does not teach the meaning of love for that is not something that can be taught, only experienced.  But what ACIM does aim at doing is removing the obstacles to the presence of love."

She says: “Peace is the result of celebrating and enjoying our differences while recognizing our oneness. We are all on this planet together. Let’s share and protect it, by being the brothers and sisters we truly are. There is only on Creator by whatever name we call Him and we all are his children” Marcine takes her inspiration from the traditions and legends of the Native Americans amongst whom she has lived the last 15 years. She combines her artistic talents and personal knowledge of Native American tradition to produce art that preserves the culture of America’s Indigenous People. Learning the Native American Life Ways has been the most exciting journey of all. Being able to share it through her art is one of the greatest delights of her life.

The Boise Institute of Noetic Sciences invites you to learn more about an incredible movement taking place in this country and around the world!

Our next meeting will be held Sunday, May 31st, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.  The place is Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, located off of Chinden Blvd., on 6200 Garrett in Garden City.  Everyone is welcome, and a $5.00 donation is suggested.

Our speaker is Sunny Freeman-Genz.  She became involved in a grassroots movement to create a cabinet level Department of Peace in 2005, and became the Idaho State Coordinator of the Department of Peace Campaign in 2006.  She will share her story of political activism, locally and in our nations’ capitol, as well as share the details of the great piece of legislation, H.R. 808.  There will be a social time after Sunny’s presentation to visit with her individually.
The following is more information about the Department of Peace:
“Domestically, the Department of Peace will develop policies and allocate resources to effectively reduce the levels of domestic and gang violence, child abuse and various other forms of societal discord.  Under one umbrella, the Department will build upon and bring together community peace programs currently in place around the country that have been proven successful.  Internationally, the Department will bring together highly trained experts in violence prevention, conflict resolution and peace building and advise the President and Congress on the most sophisticated techniques and innovative ideas regarding peace-creation among nations.  It will also research and analyze the root causes of war and other forms of violence to help prevent conflicts from escalating to the point of violence.  A Peace Academy, on par with the Military Service Academies, would train civilian peacekeepers and the military in the latest nonviolent conflict resolution strategies and approaches.  The Secretary of Peace would sit at the table of power to directly advise the President.
“This peace movement has also gained international momentum.  The “Global Alliance for Ministries and Departments for Peace” is a community of dedicated individuals, organizations and autonomous campaigns, supporting their national governments to significantly invest in the development of skills and infrastructure dedicated to the peaceful resolution of conflict”
“There is a new way forward, a way of peace.  As we shift our understanding and embrace these new possibilities, we will come to know that peace is not only possible, it is inevitable!  I hope you will join us!”
In Peace and Gratitude,
Sunny Freeman-Genz
