“Peace is possible…
we have, we are, a mosaic of gifts,
to nurture, to offer, to accept…”
— Mattie J.T. Stepanek
The goal of Mama Peace Chats: A Mosaic of Purpose is to help each person understand how much they truly matter and to work toward being able to say, honestly “I am okay.” Being “okay” with who we are is an important part of peace – within ourselves and with our community.
Each month we will explore a different theme to help us understand how we are all “unique and essential gifts in the mosaic of humanity.”

Main Street members are encouraged to join Mama Peace for in-person sessions at Main Street. Some weeks, there will be shared materials or hands on activities that help us explore and celebrate the message of mosaics and purpose. Sessions will also be offered virtually for members who are not able to connect in-person.
