Making Instruments of Peace Sacred Object Mediators

Object mediators connect us to spiritual dimensions. Peacemaking allows us to find inner strength and courage. Rituals reinforce the peacekeeping process. Sacred objects are employed to invoke higher levels of comprehension. In this liminal space, communication is enhanced as we begin to hear the voices that emerge through the questing process, guiding us and indicating the pathway. The mystery is felt and recognized in unexpected moments that leave us wondering. Our natural environments inform our cultural practices that reinforce our ability to step into life more fully. We hold peace within objects, words, and rituals. But in the space of our hearts, we carry peace that can be shared with all our relations.
