We invite you to join a special private dinner event co-hosted by the For Peace initiative and the cour·age project.
Courage is a foundational quality in cultivating inner and outer peace – it is this inner strength that, when embodied, allows for the wisdom of the heart to guide our decisions.
Life does not come from food but from sharing the presence of love. In Spanish and Portuguese 'comer' (literally co-eating) means to eat in community. One does not eat to satisfy the sensual desire of taste alone or even the need of the body but to fully savor the sense of community – the possibility of being one with the other(s) and the world.
Our journey through the evening will be composed of a presentation about the For Peace initiative and transformational sound experience by the cour·age project. We will share some delicious Syrian food, cooked and provided by our friends at Kreuzberger Himmel, who's founders and team are refugees from Syria.
Together we will create a space of presence to explore the complexity, beauty and emergent nature of cultivating heart coherence and peace while engaging in current and global issues as artists, conscious activists, (social) entrepreneurs, lovers of life, and visionary creators.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.

More about cour·age
The cour·age project explores the subtle relationships between head, heart, and hand, inner and outer worlds, individuality and community, aiming to understand the effects taking place (literally) as something imperceptible but constructive and inextinguishable.
In a globalized and fast-paced world where technology is creating so many opportunities to connect as well as to disconnect, and where "attention, which has now been consumed by a state of permanent distraction" (Aureli, 2013), became a scarce resource, cour·age aims to reconnect oneself with the environment. This is done in real-time and space, through human hearts and digital technology. With cour·age we may reach the universal and enduring meaning of things beyond their particular expressions.
