About Jennifer Star

A life-long artist, Jennifer Star is a Creative Journal Expressive Arts certified instructor, having trained with Dr. Lucia Capacchione, director of the program, in 2002-2003. She is a facilitator of Visioning® collage workshops, using the trademarked method developed by Dr. Capacchione.

Founder and director of the Peace Pie Mandala Project (PPMP), Star began her peace project in the fall of 2005. The PPMP went global in 2006 via the world wide web, and numerous non-profit organizations, women's groups, and private individuals have since brought the PPMP to their own communities. These include the Healthy Mother Earth Foundation in Bali, Indonesia; QuietStar Center for Transformation in Los Osos, California USA; YouthCAN! in Springdale, Arizona USA; The Third International Women's Peace Conference coordinators council in Dallas, Texas USA; and a "Making Peace" retreat and ceremony in Brisbane, Australia.

Supporters of the PPMP include Carol Hansen Grey, co-founder of the World Peace Experiment (Only Love Prevails), Stacey Robin, founder of the Go Gratitude Experiment, and Jean Campbell, founder of the World Dreams Peace Bridge. Public presentations by Star include the 3rd International Women’s Peace Conference in Dallas Texas USA, July 2007, and Rotary International's Cambria Rotary Club in Cambria California USA, December 2006. Current projects for the PPMP include the creation of curriculum for each grade level in elementary schools to meet the needs of the students and the educational system.

Art, creativity, and manifesting peace have always been a presence in Star's life. The very foundation of her peaceful creativity and artistic expression is based on a spiritual relationship with the earth and universe, and a desire to share this with others. Star has found that healing of the body/mind/spirit occurs every time she fills herself up with 'creative food.' It is then she feels most strongly the deep peace in her heart.

Star's intention is to encourage others to take time for their own version of ‘creative food' as she knows from experience it will aid in overall peace, health and well-being. Star says, "Focus on your heart center and you will find the way."
