You didn't include writing on your list! And you teach that in your seminar, though, maybe you don't put it quite that way? Natalie Goldberg covers this quite well in *Writing Down the Bones*.
You're so right. Writing and creative arts brings inner peace to many. My writing classes are certainly along those lines. I love Writing Down the Bones (written in Taos!).
The Prairie Key: Why Saskatchewan Holds Leverage for Global Peace - World Version
The world is hurting. Democracies strained. Institutions groaning under cruelty and corruption. But here is the truth the world needs to hear: change does not rest on any single nation's shoulders alone.
The solution runs through a flat, cold, wind-scraped place most of the globe ignores: Saskatchewan.
Why Saskatchewan Holds the Key
This province sits on the world's largest high-grade uranium deposits—fuel for nuclear power and naval propulsion across dozens of nations. It controls North America's only fully integrated rare earth supply chain: the neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium inside jets, drones, and missiles worldwide. It produces potash that feeds farms on six continents. And it holds helium for critical cooling infrastructure.
Saskatchewan trades with 163 nations. Without this province, global defence and agriculture falter. That is not a threat. That is geography and geology.
Demand Peace Conditions
Premier Scott Moe holds a lever larger than most heads of state. He could declare: Saskatchewan's resources will be used for peace and prosperity only.
· No uranium for offensive weapons.
· No rare earths for invasion forces.
· No potash for regimes that starve their own people.
· No helium without binding peace agreements.
What the World Can Do
Call on Premier Scott Moe. Write to him. Demand that Saskatchewan condition every export on de-escalation, diplomacy, and disarmament.
Saskatchewan cannot save the world alone. But it can refuse to fuel its destruction. And sometimes, holding back the spark is more powerful than fighting the fire.
Thank you for this epic peace that EVERYONE should read! I agree a thousand percent with this. That’s my belief too, that only when every human is well-rested - and at peace - we can truly heal the world, as one. Pax and Namaste. ✌🏻🕊️🙏🏻✨
Yes, yes, YES!! I, too have heard the criticism of not being angry at what is going on all around us. Not only is peace contagious but so is joy, serenity, and seeing what is good both in the world and with each other. And yes, meditation is different for everyone .... for me, simply sitting under an inky sky, or by a window, with the stars above my head, allows all that Is to sit with(and in) me. Thank you, Johanna, very much appreciate this piece. (and please give my love to the Mesa and the Mountain💖)

Your thesis stands however! 🙂

Excellent list! Michael Singer is my boy right now, as you know. I will check out some of the others you mentioned.
