Ep 101 The Great Disarmament - The Great Disfarmament Part 13: Seeds of Peace
from Peace Is Here with Avis Kalfsbeek · host Avis Kalfsbeek
The Great Disarmament Part 13: Seeds of Peace. What does disarmament look like today? It may not be on the news. But it is happening—everywhere. In this final episode of the historical timeline, we trace disarmament from the early 2000s to the present. From gang-intervention programs to post-conflict organic farms, from library circles to peace walkers, we explore how peace is being built—not by treaties alone, but by people. Quietly, daily, defiantly. Weapons still exist. Wars are still waged. But in homes, classrooms, gardens, and songs The Great Disarmament is already underway. Featuring the voices of Malala Yousafzai, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Father Gregory Boyle, adrienne maree brown, and Arundhati Roy. Inspired by Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown, we reflect on how small acts—like composting, listening, or holding a moment of peace—are not peripheral. They are the strategy.
