We wish to take this moment to extend our deepest thanks to Chuck Wattles, our longest-standing Board member, as he retires from his role on the Euphrates Board of Directors. Chuck has been a steady and inspiring presence in our organization for the past 14 years.
Our first 2025 PPA call on Personal Peace Practice began with an invitation to slow down and explore personal peace as the foundation of peacebuilding. Participants shared simple ways they ground themselves, through breath, prayer, movement, and reflection, highlighting that peace begins in small, everyday moments.
As I reflected on our time in Montgomery and Selma, I also found myself thinking deeply about what is being asked of us right now. One thing that’s clearly needed in the U.S. during this time of uncertainty is helping people find calm in the midst of chaos.
