Celebrating the Launch of Verses of Inner Peace: A Journey of Art, Wisdom, and Tranquility

On Wednesday, September 18, during International Peace Week, MIIPH held an Opening Reception to celebrate the completion of Dr. Mridha’s forthcoming book, “Verses of Inner Peace.” More than 100 people attended the event, which was produced by MIIPH and SVSU Cardinal Solutions and was sponsored by the SVSU Foundation, SVSU Mental Health Services, and The Peace Project. The event site was the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum on the Saginaw Valley State University campus.

An exhibit of 10 illustrations from Dr. Mridha’s book was on display, each accompanied by a companion quote and a wellness suggestion. SVSU student artists Bri Atudoroae, Abigail Kerby, and Savanna Shaw, who illustrated the book, also attended the opening.

MIIPH ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM

The MIIPH Education Platform is launching in 2023! We invite you to become a Friend of Peace and learn valuable knowledge and tools that can help you find peace wherever life takes you. We’ll be posting lesson content with our experts in philosophy, psychology, physiology, theology, the arts, political science, and other disciplines, to show how integrated peace is in a civilized society. Each course has three lessons and a test that you must pass (80%) to move to the next level. Earn a printable certificate of completion for every course that you pass. We’ll even show you how to organize a peace event, or your own MIIPH chapter. We are here to empower you with education so you can promote the tools of peace in your community.
