History of the PeaceClinic Institute
In
1974 PeaceClinic Institute began as a book project by Arthur Joquel and Chloe Joquel. Art died that year and Chloe seached for ways of making their dreams come true. In 2001 she created
the first website for the PeaceClinic Institute and began to collect ideas for a peace teaching organization. She searched
old records and databases, talked to other peace educators, and finally launched the PeaceClinic Institute from her home/office
in Oceanside, California. Chloe credits the growth and success of the PeaceClinic Institute to
the many volunteers and Peace Practitioners throughout the U.S. and the world.
Arthur Louis Joquel II, 1919-1974

Dr.
Joquel was an author and educator in the fields of anthropology,
world history, United Nations studies, and Elizabethan drama. He taught in public high schools and community colleges in
California and Arizona. He wrote nearly fifty science fiction short stories, published a scifi magazine, and was known
to some of the most famous scifi authors including Forrest Ackerman. He organized two future studies groups and had supportive
friends who shared his desire for world peace. His closest friend and cousin, Robert Formhals, was an author and an attorney.
Their ideals and literary contributions to world peace and freedom movements have been an inspiration to all of us
at the PeaceClinic Institute. His first book, The
Challenge of Space, was published in 1954. A short story, the Cosmic Parallel,
appears in the book, Ackermanthology, compiled by Forrest J. Ackerman. Both are available through
Amazon.com.

Chloe Joquel Freeland, Founder
and Director of the PeaceClinic Institute, believes that world peace begins at home with the
individual. She has dedicated her life to making a difference in lives of victims of violence, abuse and neglect. She
encourages public awareness of the three fold aspects of peace.
Her first volunteer for the PCI was her late husband,
Rich Freeland (1939-2005). Rich encouraged her to develop the ideology for the PCI and he often wrote press releases and took
photos of the PeaceClinic's local activities. He was a fantastic entertainer, guitarist and vocalist. He made us all happy
and we miss him very much.
Chloe offers free counseling sessions through her own company, Creative Coaching Institute to victims of domestic violence and other violent crimes.
In 2004 she founded the Cultural Creatives Society, an
organization dedicated to the exploration of innovative and creative ideas for the betterment of people everywhere. Contact:
