About the Peace Path
Physically, the Soul Shoppe Peace Path® measures 3′ x 5′ and features color-coded action steps. It is made of high-quality vinyl for easy care and durability. The size and material make it lightweight for storage and convenience.
Empower your school’s students to walk the path to peace and build a positive culture with the Soul Shoppe Peace Path®.
This peer-based conflict resolution model, which combines social and emotional skills with practical action steps, has been taught to and, more importantly, used by tens of thousands of students through this portable tool. One of the unique aspects of Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® is that, through time, the skills become a way of being, making this model of peaceful resolution and empathic mindfulness a foundation that lasts a lifetime. Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® was recognized by the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, as a model for encouraging students to become peacemakers by using their emotional skills to navigate difficult social situations.
The companion video tutorial and guidebook are included to teach how to use the Soul Shoppe Peace Path® with step-by-step instructions as well as best practices for using it most effectively. Additionally, the tutorial shares the science used in creating the Soul Shoppe Peace Path®, and can be purchased separately as needed.
Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® with Tutorial
“If we are truly preparing our children then we must provide social emotional learning (SEL) and skills to support their navigation through life.”
~ Administrator, Jefferson School District, Daly City, CA
Students of all ages need to learn how to better feel and comprehend their emotions as well as demonstrate empathy for others. This is especially true in cases of situational conflict.
Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® helps students resolve problems and conflicts by using SEL skills and strategies to work out their problems. The (literal) path to peace gives visual cues for a seven-step restorative process that students move through for peace. Each person gets to talk about how they feel, say what they need, listen and be heard, take responsibility for their part, and finally, offer forgiveness and be forgiven.
Livestream Lesson
There are times when it can be helpful to students to learn about Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® directly from a trained Soul Shoppe expert coach or facilitator through Livestream Lessons. Livestream Lessons are a service that Soul Shoppe provides to schools to benefit their students. In such cases, it affords the educator (and parents) the opportunity to process the student’s learning using a different approach, more as a guide or mentor.
While the Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® is a straightforward model for restorative conflict resolution, learning how to work with it can surface personal challenges and questions for students. By having a Soul Shoppe facilitator deliver the Soul Shoppe Peace Path® curriculum, students learn about the process of mindful communication, empathy, and self-awareness for personal accountability in stressful situations. This gives educators the opportunity to further support students by guiding post-session insights and real-world application.
During the Livestream Lesson, students practice new social skills, engage more deeply with the SEL content they’re learning, and have fun demonstrating their discoveries and using new language around their feelings.
Livestream Lessons are delivered virtually on four different dates in 2022: April 18, April 25, May 2 and May 9. The lessons are divided by grade levels at two different times: K-3 at 9 am PDT and grades 4-6 at 10 am PDT. Students and educators may participate on any date during their grade level lesson time. The Soul Shoppe facilitator leads the students through each step of the program, demonstrating the Soul Shoppe Peace Path® from a student point of view. Ideally, the educator(s) have worked with the tutorial to be familiar with the Soul Shoppe Peace Path® prior to the Livestream Lessons.
