The goals

“If a new era of civilization, a non-savage one, needs to blossom, the most profound need of that era will be the sanctification of  profane life, a fecundation of the socially-temporal existence operated by the spiritual experience, the contemplative energies and fraternal love” (Jacques Maritain).

A new culture of transformation, a new pedagogy of Rising Humanity

The goals of the ‘Peace-Path’ cultural movement are multiple:

Above all, we collaborate in the elaboration of a new culture of the anthropological transformation taking place, a new culture (in a political sense also) of peace, that regains strength over and over again from the interior work of pacification, refusing any ideological reduction that presumes to construct peace without however changing the human war-heart first.

“In the future, peace will be possible only if found in each individual first – if every man liberates himself from hatred for his neighbor, whatever his race or nationality, if he overcomes this hatred and transforms it into something different, perhaps in the long run – into love, if that’s not too much to ask. This is the only possible solution” (Etty Hillesum).

Another goal is to create concrete experiences of personal trans-formation, hence the experience of Groups, in order to help the emersion of our pacified humanity.
The ‘Peace-Path’ groups are, therefore, a laboratory of renewal of the Christian Initiation paths, that need a radical updating and deeper understanding.
On the other hand, if the new trans-ego humanity is the future of humanity’s evolution, the principles and the methods that we are proposing are going to have to be used in different ways, in different levels of education: from daycare to the university, from family circles to the parish.
The new humanity requires its own pedagogy, a pedagogy very different from the one that is adequate for the formation of an ego-centered man.
