In my conversation with Zen Master Stan Koehler, Roshi he goes in depth about his Peace on the Street program in East Harlem. How building a container of meditation and martial arts helped and continues to help a community. How young men and women developed a new skillset to address the challenges in their neighborhood and how to deal with NYPD's Infamous Stop-and-Frisk Policy. Hear how he took an ancient Japanese tradition and made it digestible to a bunch of inner city black and brown folks. We also talk about his leadership role with The Mankind Project and how bringing many young men to the Warrior Weekend affected them in a positive way. And finally his collaboration with Sifu Richard Garcia and the amazing work they're doing today.
A not for profit organization, Peace On The Street Inc. is committed to empowering the community with Zen arts, Zen martial arts and Zen meditation. Our mission is to reduce conflict between the East Harlem communities as our neighborhood experiences a significant change in population. We look to increase understanding and reduce violence between the African American, Puerto Rican and Mexican youth.
