Welcome to Peace Through Commerce
Advancing prosperity and peace by creating, teaching, and facilitating solutions to complex challenges that raise consciousness.
Who We Are
Peace Through Commerce is a strategic, global, and educational nonprofit corporation dedicated to creating a world where all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Our technology is called the Matrix of Peace Whole Systems Model–-a robust, multi-sector, living systems and consciousness model for designing and actualizing societies to operate as ecosystems of sustainable peace.
Our Technology and Value-Add to the World
The Model fosters breakthrough thinking which moves people from legacy-thinking, single-issue solutions to well-designed, coordinated, multi-sector solutions that focus on all levels of a problem-values, causes, and effects–to achieve an ecosystem of sustainable peace. For example, the Model leads people to view problems like poverty, war, inequality, and climate change from the viewpoints of human consciousness and multi-sector best practices viewpoints. Human consciousness work focuses on values, beliefs and world views. Best practices work focuses on existing practices in public, private, and civil society sectors and compares them to best practices for co-creating justice, prosperity, and sustainability to achieve an ecosystem of sustainable peace.
The bringing together of historically siloed and sometimes hostile sectors while honoring the consciousness forces at work within them is the creative gift of Peace Through Commerce and its Matrix of Peace Whole Systems Model.
In short, Peace Through Commerce is a dedicated team of peacebuilders in the “mind-changing” business.
