We believe the WHOLE is greater
Humankind is at a critical inflection point in its history. To change the present momentum toward global chaos and environmental collapse, it is essential for the human family to mature, recognize its inherent and prior unity, to truly begin to connect as “one family, one species”, able to see beyond national, religious, or ethnic identities and work for changes that address the needs of the whole planet
“think globally, act locally…”.
Our Mission and Vision
Mission
We founded LPGN to address a critical gap in traditional peacemaking models: they often overlook the deep, unconscious existential fears driving conflicts. These models frequently end with a peace agreement, leaving parties alone to navigate the challenging transition from conflict to coexistence. Third-party mediators often disengage prematurely, exacerbating the difficulties as communities face the daunting task of letting go of the past and forging a new, uncertain future.
Vision
LPGN recognizes that peace is not achieved merely through agreements but requires a profound transformation in how former enemies live together. To achieve lasting coexistence, entrenched values and norms must evolve, and social systems must shift away from viewing each other as adversaries. LPGN provides peacemakers with adaptive leadership skills essential for guiding communities through these complex rebuilding processes. Our approach supports communities in developing shared identities, fostering cooperation, and embracing tolerance.

Guiding Principles
The Leadership and Peacemaking Global Network is a learning community of people around the world who, recognizing the essential oneness of the human family, join together to implement the power of adaptive leadership for resolving human conflict.
We aim to do this by using the AL frameworks to develop people’s consciousness and resilience to tolerate uncertainty, and holding space to actively listen to opposing points of view and develop dynamic feedback loops across the globe.
