Do you have a favorite quote to share?

Christine Crowstaff, mother of three, founder of PHI
What is your interest in PeaceWork?
I believe that global peace is intimately connected with personal peace.
War only happens when people are not at peace with themselves.
Finding the root causes of that lack of inner peace is vital to solving the world’s problems.
Firstly, I believe it is really necessary to sort out the basics. To resolve the key issues of human misery. There are many manifestations of this misery on a material level. For me poverty and social injustice are the main ones.
But of course we have to start with ourselves first! ,
How long have you been involved in PeaceMaking?
25 Years
Are you currently involved in any non-profit or volunteer work?
Yes – its my life! I am the co-founder of a soon-to-be-registered charity, The PHI (HealthCare) Trust and a Director of a Social Enterprise, PHI (HealthCare) CIC.
Both work in health care.
We work on different levels. On one hand we are involved in amalgamating Complementary Medicine into everyday health care, through doctor’s surgeries in the UK.
On the other, we are involved in creating projects to assist ex- offenders and people with mental health problems to live better lives.
We are about to launch what will be the first of a chain of Café’s with a Conscience. These will be mainstream businesses, which provide work experience for people who have difficulty getting work, such as ex-offenders and people recovering from long-term mental illness. Alongside their employment, they will be receiving supportive therapy and counselling.
We want to eventually take the concept of these café’s into major cities throughout the world.
What is your Passion? Your Purpose?
My passion is loving life to its full. Living life to its full and doing something worthwhile with my life while I am on this planet.
I have heaps of energy - when I was younger I was intent on focusing that energy on wanting to change the world through violent means.
Then someone helped me to start looking at myself.
Now I focus that energy on wanting to change the world through peaceful means.
How do any products or services you offer contribute to making the world more peaceful?
When people have equality of healthcare and equality of knowledge of ways to improve their lives, it creates a huge sea-change of consciousness and self-awareness.
This is a route to peace. Peace within becomes peace without.
Is there anything else that you'd like us to know about you?
I work with an incredibly passionate group of people. All very professional and focussed.
I am very interested in conencting with people from the healthcare professions in all countries and all disciplines.
The work we are doing is developing on an international level as well as a national level
PS
Lots of love and hugs!
