Taking Action with Geoff Shōun O’Keeffe, Zen Peacemakers Executive Director
The 3 Tenets of Zen Peacemakers: Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness, and Taking Action
Our third tenet is taking loving action from not knowing and bearing witness. This vow makes Zen Peacemakers unique. This is how we engage and reach out with helping hands to relieve suffering in our troubled world. Please join us to share your work, your project, and your own taking action with others. This circle will be held monthly in 2026.
