World peace begins with inner peace Based on the global Project Deep Peace initiative, this class guides you through the science and practice of creating an "Inner Sanctuary" while contributing to a measurable shift in global consciousness. We explore the profound truth that we are not isolated beings, but expressions of the same energy, interconnected with every human, animal, and element of the cosmos. What You Will Learn The Science of Interconnection: Examine the "butterfly effect" and quantum physics principles that confirm our thoughts and feelings ripple outward. The 2 % Threshold: Discover the evidence from over 50 studies since the 1970s showing how a small critical mass (1–2% of a population) practicing together can significantly reduce conflict and crime. Creating Your Inner Sanctuary: Develop personal techniques to cultivate a refuge of calm, clarity, and compassion, regardless of external chaos. The Global Practice: Learn the specific methodology of the daily 5-minute pause. The Practice Participants join a growing global network aiming for 160 million people. You will practice sitting in stillness daily for 5 minutes between 11:00 and 13:00, focusing on peace and goodwill. This is not about religion or ideology; it is a practical exercise in presence and intention—choosing love over fear to weaken the grip of conflict and division. Class outcome By the end of this class, you will have established a sustainable daily practice that supports your own well-being while actively contributing to a collective shift from fear to unity. You will become part of a movement proving that humanity is capable of creating "heaven" on Earth, starting with five quiet minutes a day. Who Should Join? Anyone seeking to understand the mechanics of peace, deepen their meditation practice, and join a global community dedicated to changing the planet's atmosphere from the inside out.

Shen Foundation is starting a series of Fireside Chats inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt, to create a wake-up call for our « True Inner Leadership ». Our world has all resources to create a humanity that respects nature, humankind and the planet. Despite our intelligence, we have not been able to bring a well deserved well-being to all of our societies. The question is: Why and how do we treat each other? We lost our divinity. We do not respect ourselves, and by not respecting ourselves, we cannot respect the others. Are we living the "Inner Leadership" as truthfull as we wish to be? In this Fireside Chat we are gathering with Marguerite Barankitse, nominated for numerous awards for her work all over the world, including the Aurora Prize of Awakening Humanity, UNESCO Prize, and the Prize for Conflict Prevention. During her life, she had first hand experience with all types of imaginable barbarisms. We will be analyzing why humans can treat each other this way and try to reflect together on what to do about it. We are all refugees on this earth, looking for our homes in different levels. Our society of overactive individuals has started to become indifferent robots, without any hearts, people stopped caring for each other, instead concentrating on the material growth. What have we achieved globally? We have polluted our world and nature. Too many species are becoming extinct, and the global population is sick with to many chronic illnesses and constantly fleeing disasters. What is missing? Like FDR, the Fireside chat history has been to call people to gather in a crisis situation.

The Story of Shen's Vision Through Mingming's Eyes

This video provides a message with a holistic insight on the Ebola virus. Transcript available below: Ebola is a big topic. The virus is our teacher. The outbreak is the big message for us. We cannot chase after the virus because human beings need to take responsibility for what we are doing to the life network, which are human beings, animals, and biotic systems. So, they are a life force and they have a network and they respond to what we are doing. So that's why human beings have two legs. We can get things moving and done. But if we create a war zone and also affect climate change, that’s why we affect the big ecosystem. If that balance on the ecosystem has been turbulent, the virus wants to continue being alive. They respond to what we are doing. So we would rather focus on humans. We need to take responsibility rather than chase viruses. That's why we held a conference. We had a topic. It was about health for humanity: a holistic approach to pandemic response. We gathered multidisciplinary people to discuss, “How can we collaborate?” From different professional people- those people who have been dealing with SARS in the front lines- they discussed how Chinese medicine and how communities work. So we’d rather learn from our successful experiences to focus on community -how to work on that,- rather than focus on the virus. It’s for leaders to learn how to collaborate rather than act separately because ecosystems really emphasize how everything is connected. If we separate dealing with virus, virus, human, human, we fundamentally start fighting the virus and we deeply create a warzone. That’s not just wars with humans fighting with each other. We are fighting for the life force, within us and around us which supports our life. This way of thinking we need to deeply review and correct it. So that’s why we are hoping the responsible leaders including everybody who likes taking responsibility for the environment and living beings to collaboratively think holistically and know that the whole system works together and learn from our life experience’s mistakes and find very positive experiences to deal with that. It’s a much better way than repeating old patterns which is reductionist, which has already caused so much trouble in our world right now. It is the time for us, for everybody, especially our leaders, to think deeply, learn deeply and collaborate together to take responsibility for our next generation.
