Wholistic Peace Institute

Gary A. Spanovich and the late Senator Mark O. Hatfield co-founded the Wholistic Peace Institute (WPI) in 2000. The WPI seeks to “stop the killing” whether by war or risk of nuclear annihilation, physical or emotional abuse, or human rights violations by actively sharing the wisdom and experience of Nobel Peace Laureates who have demonstrated there are more noble ways to create peace.  Since 2000, Mr. Spanovich and the WPI research and peacemaking efforts have included war and conflict issues on the Korean Peninsula with some successes, including continued work:  with Kim Dae-jung Peace Center in updating The Sunshine Policy to discover new and creative solutions to end the Korean war; on establishing a Nobel Peace Laureate Center at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology in North Korea where he serves on the Board of Directors; and through an MOU with The Korea Transport Institute (KOTI), arm of the South Korean government, in various projects such as the exploration of undersea tunnels between China and Korea peninsula, Korea and Japan, and Russia and the United States.

National Monuments Foundation

The National Monuments Foundation’s mission is to create beautiful self-sustaining destination landmarks of national and historical relevance, as well as Peace centers for cultural, civic and social activism for communities around the world.

The Prince of Wales’s Olympics Monument (below) and the Millennium Gate Museum (above, center) are two properties conceived, constructed, and owned by the NMF that established the NMF as a leader in the development of public spaces. The Honorable Rodney Cook, Sr. Peace Park (bottom) is nearing completion now in collaboration with the City of Atlanta and the Trust for Public Land.

The NMF is committed to classical and traditional design for urban spaces around the world, which historically can compel human beings to interrelate with each other in more peaceful ways. They have attracted the attention of leaders around the world who desire to accomplish for their capitals what the NMF has done in a variety of cities: versatile and energizing community plazas, state of the art education facilities and inspirational destinations that promote legacies of history, honor and hope.
