Since the summer of 2012, LPEC has had an informal alliance with The Peace Practice (TPP), Lynchburg's center for "nurturing habits of harmony" through activities for stress relief as well as programs for developing inner peace--such as meditation sessions, discussions, and classes to teach meditation and investigate mindfulness. Both LPEC and TPP are dedicated to waging peace through a commitment to information and awareness by 1) encouraging education and activism on issues of peace and justice from a local through global level, and 2) encouraging habits that contribute to inner peace, simple living, nonviolence, and cooperation and friendship with others.
