THE PEACE WEAVER Eva Palmer Sikelianos

What if we could reopen a primordial spiritual portal, and summon peace on earth? For Eva Palmer Sikelianos in 1920s Greece, world peace wasn't a lofty dream-- it was an achievable goal. The key, Eva believed, was ancient Greek art, returned to Delphi. She had a bold plan, and if she could pull it off, she just might save the world. Join Katie on location at the Benaki Museum in Athens, with Maria Dimitriadou, Historical Archives Curator. ____________________ Fancy an EVA SIKELIANOS MUG reminding you of her poignant motto?
