The Community House Art Garage is working to create a better world through creative expressions of peace. We are Ambassadors of Kindness, hoping to spread more goodness into the world. Each month we follow a theme based on the universal strengths and positive character traits of ALL human beings. These were discovered through a cross cultural, world-wide study looking at the best of human beings. The researchers found 6 core themes. This month we are celebrating Justice, and so we welcomed in another Ambassador of Kindness, Chief Demario Boone. He himself is organizing positive, safe community events for Peoria youth in his Lights On Peoria program. It is easy to get caught up in our differences, and find ways to create division and separate us from one another. The strength in our community and in our world come from us seeing our shared goals and values and working to bring those into the forefront of our lives. When we work together for good, we can change the world! Join us at the Community House Art Garage to have fun, and connect to your neighbors! The Core Domains of Virtues 1.
