Once Upon a Peace Pilgrimage: The Quest to Know What it Means to be Human

Dr. Roy Tamashiro

Wednesday, 04 Dec 2019 at 7:00 pm – South Ballroom, Memorial Union

Dr. Roy Tamashiro shares stories and life lessons from his global peace pilgrimage (2015-present). He received insights on today’s world problems while tracing the footsteps of The Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela. Extraordinary messages came from Nature, from the Earth herself and from sources beyond the ordinary. He found insights into healing and peace from Holocaust survivors, massacre witness-survivors in Vietnam and Korea, and “A-bomb legacy successors” who shared their memories and traumas.

Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.
