Happy New Year 2026
As a new year opens, we invite a gentle pause —
a moment to notice how we show up,
and how much we already share simply by being alive.
With every breath, we take in the gifts of air, light, and earth,
along with the quiet presence of one another.
We walk this life together, whether we notice it or not.
What if remembering this helped shape how we live in 2026?
What if it softened our edges and widened our care?
We all belong to this unfolding. We always have.
Welcome to the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding
The River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding takes the approach of addressing conflict and violence with a continuum of prevention, intervention and restorative strategies involving youth and adult populations, including those healing from the otherwise lasting impact of trauma.
