Ikeda Center E-Newsletter

During 2008, the Ikeda Center transitioned to an e-newsletter format. Called Peace, Learning, and Dialogue News, our digital publication is emailed directly to interested members of the Ikeda Center network. Each issue features notices on upcoming events, feature stories on recent events, interviews with thought leaders in the Ikeda Center community, and more. Join the network today!

Please add me to the list!
(List members receive the e-newsletter and event notices.)
