Our mission is to identify and present the processes that lead to peace.

John-Roger founded the Institute for Individual and World Peace (IIWP) in 1982, with a focus of bringing awareness that peace begins with each one of us and that we become peacemakers by having a direct experience of what takes place when we choose the peace within us.

John-Roger and IIWP established Windermere Ranch as a place of peace, located on 142 acres of land in the beautiful Santa Ynez mountains overlooking Santa Barbara, California. Windermere is a physical focus for the study and experience of peace, Windermere provides an environment in which you can find relaxation, sanctuary and serenity. It is a place to sit quietly, meditate, and rejuvenate or take nurturing walks on paths that overlook magnificent vistas.
