As a Quaker and an American in a particularly tumultuous period in our history, Colleen is interested in peace in all it’s messiness. What sacrifices are required for peace? What does having made peace feel like over the course of decades, or maintained for a lifetime? The opportunity to travel to post conflict countries to learn about the work of peacemaking is the honor of a lifetime which they are excited to make the most of. Their travel itinerary incluldes Trinidad, Colombia, Iceland, Lebanon, South Africa, Bonia, Sri Lanka, and Japan.
