SUMMARY
Peace And Truth Heals (PATH) including the Chambers of Compassion initiative (see the DIRECTORY sections, below) is a peace-building educational speaking tour of Western U.S. and Canada, by Moji Agha (an Iranian-American sufi "monk" or dervish) driving his "nonviolence mobile."
The talks and Q & A segments of this journey of civility (that begins in 2024) are hosted by many civil society groups and spiritual congregations, including Unitarian Universalist (UU) churches or fellowships. The dialogue-based truth-telling of PATH's "decolonization" drive aims to foster peace and nonviolence, as well as systemic "intersectional" collaborative civil society movement-building.
CHAMBERS OF COMPASSION PURPOSE IN A CAPSULE
Whereas for-profit corporations and industries have "Chambers of Commerce" (that are called the same everywhere) for the purpose of building systemic collaboration and geographic coordination, the purpose of our strictly not-for-profit "Chambers of Compassion" is to build a similar kind of systemic synergy for the not-for-profit nonviolent civil society of every community, guided by the core value of compassion.

However, this "peace pilgrim" effort will continue (starting in the Summer of 2024) in a "younger" more eco-friendly community-owned
Nonviolence/PATH Mobile -- please see the link to its page below, in the Section Two of this DIRECTORY.

The Overall Organizing Objective of PATH
Encouraging the formation, in each community, of the following:
a) An Un-demonization Club--flowing out of the Iranian Nonviolence Initiative, and b) A NATR Tent (resulting from the Native/American Truth and Reconciliation Initiative) which would then (hopefully) collaborate systematically within the Intersectional Circle (IC) of the area.
Methodology
Run by interested local volunteers who are deeply committed to nonviolent struggle, such independently functioning strictly not-for-profit ICs, Tents, and Clubs will be incubated (and hosted) free of charge, within the appropriate churches or civil society groups that exist in the area.
NOTE: For an introductory summary profile (including the goals) of our "PATH" educational peace-building speaking tour, and to see the summary biography of brother Moji, please see THIS PAGE in the organizational website of JUUstice Washington, which is the Unitarian Universalist State Action Network in Washington State.
MORE BASIC INFO
Peace And Truth Heals (PATH) Speaking Tour and Initiative:
- Chambers of Compassion (Intersectional Circles);
- Native/American Truth and Reconciliation (NATR); and
- Iranian Nonviolence
By: Moji Agha (Mojtaba Aghamohammadi), driving his "fragile nonviolence mobile."
PATH is an educational, collaborative, movement-building, and dialogue-centered (talk and Q & A) speaking tour; see its "3 presentations" section immediately below.
This journey of peace (see below) travels through the Western regions of the U.S. and Canada, and its Phase One is expected to formally commence with Moji Agha's 2-hour main presentation in Boulder or Denver, Colorado, on May 1, 2024. >>> See the Directory (section one), above.
The PATH initiative's hope is that this "effort of the heart" would help to pave the "PATH" of genuine healing of all, through peace and truth, on our deeply traumatized Grandmother Earth.
At various times and locations throughout this speaking tour (see its two-part Directory, above and below) Moji Agha's talks will take the form of one or more of the following 3 presentations in any given area, as possible and desired:
a) The tour's two-hour main presentation, namely an introductory talk followed by an extensive Q & A segment, intended for the general community. Brother Moji will start such gatherings with a half-hour introduction to the three core topics around which this PATH speaking tour has been organized, namely: Iranian Nonviolence (Un-demonization Clubs), Native/American Truth and Reconciliation (NATR Tents), and Intersectional Circles (Chambers of Compassion) initiatives.
b) Wherever possible and desired, a three-hour workshop/teach-in, intended for the more activist-oriented members of the community, and of the participating civil society groups or spiritual congregations--see above and below. In these more in-depth interactive gatherings the speaking tour's above-mentioned 3 topics will be explored a bit more extensively, as permitted by time.
c) Wherever possible and desired, when the speaking tour brings brother Moji to an area's UU congregation (or other open-minded church or spiritual group) on a Sunday, he has offered to give a sunday service-type Sufism-informed (in part) "un-sermon" covering the general topic of the spiritual and moral/ethical dimensions of nonviolent "civility" activism.
