Buddhist Peace and Conflict Chaplaincy Information Session

This talk was given by Gil Fronsdal, Kim Moore, and Kerstin Deibert on 2026.02.20 at the Sati Center in Redwood City, CA.

How can we meet these painful times of polarization, divisiveness, and domination? What is needed to build bridges of compassion and understanding in places of conflict? And how might the inner work of cultivating peace translate into promoting peace in the wider world? The Buddhist Peace and Conflict Chaplaincy program (PACC; pronounced like pax) draws on foundational Buddhist teachings and practices to uncover the innate potential of the human heart to foster peace within and without. Participants will intimately explore the role of a Buddhist Peace Chaplain – a spiritual caregiver who is dedicated to the flourishing of peace and supports those enmeshed in conflict with clarity, kindness, and impartiality. More information about the program (starting June 2026), including how to apply, at https://sati.org/pacc/.
