Some months ago, the unknown word mahaivi resounded in my mind at night. I took down a poem about Love and Life. And I sketched a symbol of Life. The following morning I looked up the word. It was an old Polynesian word that means "to live and be alive". We are officially launching it on 1/1/9. Please visit www.mahaivi.net and help to spread it as a universal symbol of Peace, Love and Life.

Do you have a favorite quote to share?
'The true meaning of life is to plant a treee under whose shade you do not plan to sit."
"Leep and the net will apear."
What is your interest in PeaceWork?
Peace Work is who I am. I am a mediator and a fcilitator for restorative practices.
How long have you been involved in PeaceMaking?
My entire life and beyond... As a child I wanted the fighting to stop between my parents -- it eventually became a life mission. It's not about my parents anymore it's about offering the opportunity to be loved and know you deserve it. It's about serving, taking responsibility, having empathy and forgiving. This is a life journey and one I'm sure that started before this life time.
Are you currently involved in any non-profit or volunteer work?
Resolution Works, The Conflict Center, My kids school ;o), Community Resource Center, women shelters, Colorado Arts Community
What is your Passion? Your Purpose?
I am a peace maker. I have spent most of my life choosing my path based on the elimination of violence/abuse. My experience has shown me that every person is whole and sometimes they only need someone to “hear” their story. It has been through my listening to those stories that I become clear about how to serve.
How do any products or services you offer contribute to making the world more peaceful?
Resolution Works provides mediation, conflict resolution, restorative justice, facilitation, community dialogues and trainings. We work within the systems currently available to resolve conflict and will meet the individual in conflict where they stand and provide tools and strategies to assist their path through the conflict.
Resolution Works, work with offenders for a mediation with the victim(s) of their crime. The goal is to bring an opportunity for both parties to the incident to speak directly and openly with each other in a safe, neutral, secure environment with a team of trained mediators assisting and facilitating the dialogue.
