Peace Day
ARIZONA

Join the worldwide movement to create a Global Ceasefire and Day of Peace & Nonviolence in our homes, our communities and between nations on September 21, The International Day of Peace. Peace Day has been a focal point for community-uniting and peace-inspiring events since its inception in 1981. This year will be the greatest Peace Day, yet. Together we can create a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, one heart, one family, one community at a time. Join the Countdown To Peace and help inspire your community to celebrate humanity's first day of peace, ever.

Peace Every Day Initiative
Web: www.peaceeveryday.org
EVENT :  World Peace—the healing of the world—is achieved through a very simple principle: We Create Peace By Being Peace. It is this universal truth that has inspired the Peace Every Day Initiative, a global, collective, daily meditation for peace. The purpose is to unite, through meditation or prayer, a minimum of 8,000 people (while holding the vision of 144,000 or more people) by becoming the vibration of peace for 40 minutes or more each day at sunrise or sunset. This powerful thoughtform of peace is enough to shift the global consciousness so that we may fully celebrate peace on earth! The Peace Every Day Initiative is a unique opportunity for all peace movements and spiritual paths to unite with a shared intention. We feel that the power of this initiative lies in the possibility of people from all world traditions and lifestyles to unite in a single coherent vibration of peace. Our unity is a message of the power of cooperation that is necessary now to manifest light on the planet at a potency that can bring the Thousand Years of Peace.
