Destination Peace is a global movement which exists to connect people around the world through a common language transmitted through music. Its goals are to challenge minds and change hearts using music as a transformative method to work toward world peace by creating a positive movement to generate awareness, inspire change, uplift spirits and encourage civil discourse.
Under the leadership of recording artist, lecturer, civic and spiritual leader Emanuel “Manny” Perlman, Destination Peace will travel the world with its message of peace and serve as a transformative change agent to connect people with one another and break through the restrictions of linguistic and natural inborn differences.
Ultimately, Destination Peace envisions a world without political, religious, racial or ethnic strife.
Destination Peace is a nonprofit organization that works to build peace through music with a universal language.
The main objective at Destination Peace is to bring violence against humanity to an end, using dialogue and singing a unifying universal song.
EMANUEL C. PERLMAN
PERFORMING ARTIST, CLERIC, and INTERNATIONAL AMBASSADOR FOR PEACE
Emanuel (“Manny”) Perlman is a lyric tenor, composer, lecturer, recording artist, therapist, cleric, and ambassador for world peace. He has showcased his talent with musical concerts throughout the world. Manny is the founder and CEO of Destination Peace International Inc. (destinationpeace.org) The organization’s mission is to create harmony throughout the world using the universal language of music and a peace curriculum to transcend differences in religious affiliation and in culture to resolve conflict and bring people together
``You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will live as one.”
In the 5th century before the Common Era, Greek historian Thucydides taught that fundamental human motivations – fear, honor, and interest – caused wars. Destination Peace tunes out fear and alarm through tranquility inherently discovered in music. It honors a group process through singing a global song, rather than through a separate national anthem.
We start a dialogue with a universal language that unites and creates a mutual foundation. Our founder, Emanuel Perlman, created an eight syllable phrase Sasha Eha Toze Hawooh that replicates a “sound” coming from 124 global languages and put it to music. When individuals and international communities from diverse backgrounds sing together it allows a unique shared harmonious relationship even amongst long standing enemies!
Together, we keep a prolific songwriters’ dream of peace alive!
For more than 50,000 years the language of music has played a key role in the very fabric and shape of society.
Music can be found in every culture and is an integral part of community structure, even of the most isolated tribal groups. A culture’s music is influenced by all aspects of that culture including, social and economic organization and experience, climate and access to technology. The emotions and ideas expressed through music, the circumstances in which music is played and listened to and the attitudes towards musicians, composers and performers all vary between regions and periods in history.
Music influences social and political culture as well. It has been used as a means to generate awareness, provoke change, and inspire the hearts and minds of an audience of many or an audience of one.
Music and mathematics are recognized as humanity’s universal methods of communication. Music has lead soldiers into battle and echoed triumphant in victory. It continues to inspire all of us, the scholar, the laborer, world leaders, and students around the globe, and it inspires our most precious members of society, our children.
Let us communicate through music to make this world a better place for all humanity.
