The Global 10 Second Peace Challenge:
How Would You Express the Essence of Peace If You Only Had 10 Seconds?
The second week of December 2009 when the U.S. President Barack Obama accepts the Nobel Peace award, millions of citizens are invited to participate in a cyber peace project of their own called “Live Your Peace”. Workshops are conducted far and wide as participants have their own group discussions on the many facets of peace including mental, emotional, spiritual, economic, scientific, artistic, philosophical and social experiences and concepts of peace.
Workshop attendees are lead through a peace exploration process. Exercises that encourage the participants’ personal stories of peace are woven through out the workshop from sculpting clay models to drawing, journaling or role playing personal concepts of peace including the blocks that get in the way of these precious moments. The facilitators that are versed in specific tools to generate a focused experience of peace also conduct clearing exercises to help participants process blocks to experience peace on deeper levels. All this introspective and group interaction is the preparation for the much anticipated event of the 10 Second Peace Challenge.
The stop watch is set to 10 seconds. You feel the gentle tug as you step in front of the simulcast camera where the world is awaiting your focused message of peace. 10 magical seconds of a song presented before you lingers in the air as well as one woman’s moving declaration for peace. Others share a guided meditation and one friend’s 10 second joke has the whole room in stitches when he says, “Thanks for the Nobel Peace Award, but I have to correct you with the misspelling of my name. It’s spelled D A V E P E R KI N S!” What will your 10 seconds of peace be? You take a deep breath and step into your peace…
The creator and director of the 10 second peace challenge, Ruth Anne Wood was moved by the publicized criticism of the 2009 Nobel Peace Nominee. What does it mean to win such an award? Do you have to achieve an enlightened state of being or have the focused intention for peace backed by powerful conversations and a position of power to relish such an award? And what about the suggested Halloween custome to come back as Ronald Regan’s ghost demanding his own peace award for the fall of the Berlin Wall and end of the cold war? Are we our greatest critics preventing ourselves from peace? Do peace and prosperity go hand and hand or is that just a gimmicky weekend workshop? The cast and crew of Live Your Peace have some opinions and insights.
The bigger inspiration behind the “Live Your Peace” movie filmed by Emmy award winning documentary film maker, Bill Jersey was the director’s love for spiritual cinema and her desire to create a Yes! feel good movie rather than a “Henny-penny the sky is falling” documentary. “See ya on the flip side Michael Moore.” -Ruth Anne Wood, Director
CREDENTIALS: After years of helping her coaching and massage clients lessen the drama and aches and pains in their life, Ruth Anne Wood who spent the last year writing her spiritual comedy about an eighty year old women who discovers what it’s like in the body of a thirty year old with the wisdom of an eighty year was told by Hollywood script coach her screenplay didn’t have enough drama! Putting the project on pause Ruth entered a quest to experience more peace and gratitude for her blessed married suburban life. Then Ruth opened a global conversation though the creation of the “Live Your Peace” workshop, movie and her goal setting and achievement online resource community, Scripting for Success TM .
Ruth has the good fortune of partnering with retired Emmy award winning documentary film maker of 40 years, now landscape painter, Bill Jersey. Ruth collaborates with a stellar “Live Your Peace” cast which hopes to inspire 10 second peace montages from groups and families around the world. Ruth also seeks the peaceful insights of her husband Jason Wood and her friend and co-author Stash Serafin who has appeared in the national media since the 1970s, becoming a well-known figure skater and sensitive movement coach, despite being blind since birth. Together Ruth and Stash lead training and have written the book about turning “adversities into adventures in; YOU CAN’T GET IT ‘CAUSE YOU’VE ALREADY GOT IT!.
