Join us on a journey toward peacebuilding, sustainability, and transformative leadership. Together, we can make a difference through community foodways, cultural preservation, education, environmental stewardship, and wellness.
At Legacies Peace Center, we believe peacebuilding begins within individuals, grows through community relationships, and expands through leadership. Our programs cultivate resilience, strengthen connection, and inspire locally led change through wellness, community foodways, and leadership development.
Whether you join a class, attend a workshop, partner with us, volunteer, or make a gift, every act of participation helps cultivate stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.
Sacred Ground Wellness: Embodied Peace Collective
A community-centered initiative of Legacies Peace Center's Sacred Ground Wellness program.
The Dahlonega Yoga Collective brings together local teachers and practitioners to offer accessible, inclusive, and community-rooted wellness experiences grounded in peacebuilding, embodiment, and connection.
Our Next Featured Class:
Full Moon Yoga with Emily
Tuesday, September 29th | 6:00-7:15pm
Celebrate the energy of the full moon through an intentional Hatha practice that weaves together Chandra Namaskar (moon salutations), breathwork (pranayama), mindful movement, meditation, and moments of stillness.
Each gathering features a thoughtfully curated themed music playlist and a small gift for attendees, creating a meaningful opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and practice in community. Designed to complement the busier, more heating energies we often experience both on and off the mat, this practice invites balance, reflection, and renewal.
Our Weekly Class:
Yoga Stretch with Betsy
Thursday, October 1 | 6:00-7:15pm
Release tension, improve mobility, and give your body the space it needs to unwind. This gentle practice focuses on mindful stretching, breath awareness, and supported movement to increase flexibility while promoting relaxation and ease.
Ideal for beginners, active individuals, or anyone looking to balance the demands of everyday life, this class offers a calming environment to reconnect with your body and leave feeling refreshed.
All DYC classes are donation-based — come as you are, contribute what you can. All are welcome.
Studio details and location are shared upon registration.
Nothing Grows Alone
Rooted & Rising in partnership with GMUUC's Kids Culinary Camp
Tuesday, July 21, 2026
Legacies Peace Center is excited to partner with Georgia Mountains Unitarian Universalist Church (GMUUC) for this years Kids Culinary Camp as part of our Rooted & Rising program.
Executive Director Emily Cook will lead an interactive session exploring interdependence through the story of our food. Using fresh fruits and vegetables, children will discover how every meal is made possible through relationships - with healthy soil, pollinators, sunshine, rain, farmers, families, and communities.
Grounded in Legacies Peace Center's peacebuilding mission, this hands-on learning experience invites young people to see food not simply as something we eat, but as something that connects us to one another, to the earth, and to generations of people who have cultivated and shared food traditions before us.
By fostering gratitude, reducing food waste, and encouraging care for the natural world, Rooted & Rising helps cultivate the next generation of compassionate environmental stewards, thoughtful leaders, and peacebuilders.
Preserving the Voice of Granby
Special Project | Community Leadership & Cultural Preservation
Saturday, July 25, 2026
Every community has a story, but Granby's is written in the lived memories of its longtime residents, ranching families, and local leaders.
Legacies Peace Center is honored to support the Granby Oral History Project, one of our first special initiatives dedicated to community peacebuilding through cultural preservation and local leadership.
Led by Dr. Anne Chance, LPC's Director of Advancement, this professional heritage preservation project is designed to capture the stories, traditions, and lived experiences that define Granby's unique identity before they are lost.
Through structured workshops, custom educational curricula, and expert archival consulting, the project does more than document history - it strengthens community identity, fosters intergenerational relationships, and preserves local knowledge for future generations. The resulting oral histories will help create authentic cultural resources and exhibits that celebrates the people and places that have shaped Granby.
At Legacies Peace Center, we believe that preserving community memory is an act of peacebuilding. By honoring local voices, strengthening connections across generations, and ensuring that stories are not forgotten, communities build a deeper understanding of their shared past and a stronger foundation for their future.
We are excited to partner with the Granby community on this meaningful initiative and look forward to sharing updates as this special project unfolds.
