"Food is love Kitchen Gardens" is an innovative way of making peace with  empty  spaces around the homes and cultivate them to grow green vegetables, herbs and beautiful flowers, This becomes a source of nutritious food for the family and neighbors and nurtures peace in the community as communities are encouraged to share with their neighbors what they have have planted in their small spaces. it also creates beauty and brings nature closer to the home.  its so refreshing to wake up in the morning and smell the herbs  and flowers just next to the home and promotes inner peace which can be shared with others!

Camping allows people to reconnect with nature; revive the lost energy, only the power of nature could bring accord. God made nature especially for us human beings to feel Him, in a way that our soul could freely dive into peace and happiness.
This camping could involve activities of any kind such as tree planting, hiking, yoga, and etc. Just like how the "Regenesis Project" of Bohol, Philippines, give soul-awakening activities especially to people who deeply seeks to find the peace within them.

Peace monument in DMZ serving as a symbol of the trust required for reunification and peace between the Koreas. During open hours, visitors are welcome to stand on the platform and take photos of them doing the trust fall. Below the platform would be an open dark room where people are stationed to take the trust fall. However, the people below would not be visible to heighten the feeling of trust and the experience of relief.

The spa could be a vertically integrated complex where all the materials are produced and cultivated on-site, including traditional Korean herbs. The spa complex could potentially include traditional Korean style baths as well as western style (private) spa options.

This project wil develop different parts of a peace park. This will be a park with different location. One of those can be a museum dispalying the Korean traditional culture. One can have contributions from traditions of the world's peoples, liek an expo.

North Korean are hungry and South Korean can contribute by a Food garden the Songaï style in Africa. Having a place with culture of vegetable (like permaculture in Costa Rica )and medicine herbal plants (like the houses of artemisia) as well as fruit trees and nutritious trees like moringa in India and spirulina plants (like in France). By looking how some people do to create such an harmonious nutritious garden, we could contribute to feeding the north korean when the DMZ will be open.

The Garden of Forgiveness Beirut was originally conceived by Alexandra Asseily in 1997 as a place of calm reflection, sheltered from the bustle of the city and expressing themes of understanding, forgiveness and unity.

Nestled between mosques and churches, and integrating archaeological remains of surviving city layers, Hadiqat-As-Samah aims to offer unique insights into earlier civilizations, demonstrating a shared ancestry that predates the recent conflict. By displaying these layers of civilizations, the garden will " use foundations of the past to build foundations for the future." In its proximity to the wartime Green Line that divided the city and became the focus of conflict, the Garden of Forgiveness is to provide a meeting point where individuals can reflect on their collective memory and nurture a renewed sense of common identity. These are captured in the Design Brief that Alexandra Asseily wrote for for the Garden at Hadiqat-As-Samah.

This is a short film of conversations featuring Alexandra Asseily, Pastor James Wuye and Imam Muhammad Ashafa of Nigeria on the notion of forgiveness during their visit to the site designated for the Garden of Forgiveness in Beirut, Lebanon.

Story so far ..
In March 2000 the international competition for the design of the garden was won by 'Gustafson Porter', who have also created many other prestigious international projects. The master plan for the site was approved by the Council of Ministers in June 2001. Plans of The Garden of Forgiveness were shown at the Van Alen Institute in New York in 2002 in their 'Renewing, Rebuilding, Remembering' exhibition. The Garden of Forgiveness was also featured in the exhibition 'Groundswell - Constructing the Contemporary Landscape' at the MoMA, New York, 22nd February to 16 May, 2005.

Construction of the Beirut Garden of Forgiveness started in September 2003. However, work on public spaces in central Beirut has been halted since July 2006 due to an Israeli air attack. Nevertheless the site has been visited by many international groups and individuals who accord their respects by reflecting and praying there for forgiveness and peace.There are now a number of other projects around the world for Gardens of Forgiveness, and many which propose forgiveness as a response within a range of contexts. The Garden of Forgiveness is featured in the film ' The Power of Forgiveness '

For a theoretical background on this, please refer to her paper Breaking the Cycles of Violence and her article Exploring stories to find the storyteller ', or within the book edition entitled ' Exploring Selfhood '.

What a hopeful and inspiring idea of creating a garden of peace in the DMZ between the two Koreas!!! Let's make it fruitful and grow to its greatest possibilities! Why not plan a peace walk starting from an emblematic place in the world and ending in the DMZ of Korea?
