Peace House

We are an intentional community in the Eastside neighborhood of Kalamazoo, dedicated to being a force for community, justice and nonviolence on our block. We provide a safe, loving environment for children of our neighborhood to learn, play and experiment with the tools of peaceful conflict resolution.

We believe that the good of each person is bound to the well-being of society as a whole; therefore we advocate taking personal responsibility for creating, in the words of Peter Maurin, "a new society within the shell of the old... a place where it is easier for people to be good." We rely on the involvement of a loving, dedicated extended community to do this work. Please feel free to visit, call or send an email.
