The Art of Peace

When does a conflict begin?

What are the consequences of violence?

Can problems be solved peacefully?

There is an alternative to war.

Combining storytelling skills with martial arts experience, Mark Binder presents a program that is both entertaining and discussion-provoking.


"Everyone agrees that the world needs peace.
It also true that the world needs stories. Mark Binder brings these two needs together and in a short time, children and adults will be amazed how they will learn together, laugh together, dream together, and be inspired to continuing creating peace in the world. What a wonderful gift for any community to continue this work that began at the beginning of time and is made real for us in Mark's program."
—Rev. T. Michael Rock
Pastor / Community Activist / Nonviolence Trainer
