ANDRAS MAROS, FOUNDER: PRESIDENT
A Dreamer and Visionary, Andras came into the world to bombs during the second world war and has been a Peace-nik ever since. He witnessed revolution and the evolution of humanity. A Magyar from Hungary, Andras has played many roles on the stages of his life including artist, actor on state and screen, producer, documentarian, advertising executive, and witness to the global human experience. Andras is the original "Heartist in Resonance" with a vision of peace and how to produce it in the world. He is a teacher of Kriya Yoga - how the breath brings one into silence. |
Artistic expression became Andras' passion as he dove into the New York Theater world as an actor, director, producer, and owner.

The film's success opened his eyes to the power of film to create your own life as he left New York for the LA film world, opening a film actors' school. Andras created many other roles - starring in, producing, and directing many projects.
While presenting a project at Cannes Film Festival, Andras began a ten year journey exploring the lives of Vincent and Theo Van Gogh, eventually playing both men in a one man play. He continues to share Vincent's message of brotherly love and passion that is even more relevant in today's world.
Andras' goal is to teach teachers how to teach tears how to teach - because "it's not what you know but how you come to know it that matters."
Andras' has integrated his gathered wisdom into The Art of Being. Those experiences include:

foundation history
Andras had a dream years ago that opened him to know that Peace will not happen by letting it Be, or giving it a chance. We must PRODUCE Peace for it to be. Everything in the world is produced; wars are produced in theaters and played on stages. His call became to produce Peace in theaters of human hearts and on stages of communities.
Mayana has had a dream of bringing people together in communities and globally through events, ceremonies, and music, using the 12 around 1 pattern in alignment with Barbara Marx Hubbard. Her dream is to give opportunities for people to be in their highest form and practice living from their own divine core essence. Her call became to be a Caller, calling forth play time and new ideas for humanity.
A cosmic encounter at Pranafest in Ashland, Oregon brought these two Heartists together, immediately recognizing each other they dove into learning about the human aspects of each other and wove their dreams together.
On March 21, 2013 Andras & Mayana formally adopted the non-profit Flowers of Hope and changed the name to Peace Production, moving forward with 501(c)3 status and beginning a ground tour for the project Imagine This Dream. They journeyed on the ground, meeting people heart to heart providing for a stable magnetic field in Northern America for the coming changes. They are continually amazed by the doors that open for them.
