The plan for the army of peace is to have thousands of people from every continent create a soldier of peace. Claude Desjardins hopes that there will eventually be at least one permanent exhibit of soldiers in each continent.

Holding an Intention
When you create a soldier of peace, you write a “war” you are fighting within yourself on a piece of paper that goes inside your soldier to shed light on your struggle. In the cooking stages, that paper will burn and darkness will become light.

The Feminine Essence
” Eventhough we talk about a Female Soldier Army, this refers to the Female Essence which is present in everyone,” says Claude Desjardins, “Men, Children, Women can become a Female Soldier of Peace and doing so, they will honor their female essence within themselves, contributing to create the counter balance of the energies on earth. ”
