Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek,
but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
—Martin Luther King, Jr.

At one time or another, many of us have yearned for peace.

We’ve longed for that serene, rejuvenating, breathing space for ourselves, for our family and friends, for our neighborhoods and our communities… And we’ve lifted our hearts, thoughts, and prayers for peace for the heart-hurting strangers living on the other side of the world…

Let us gather together and set our intentions for peace during the coming year: peace at home and throughout the world!

Come. Entwine your heart with like-minded others at this tender annual gathering. Let your mind rest and breathe while we “virtually” clasp hands and spirits, weaving the unifying light of peace both into our hearts and around our world…

Register today, and on January 1st, we’ll send our heart-felt intentions for peace out into the world… together.

What Happens After I Register?
Upon registration, you will receive an email with complete instructions on how to access the meditations.
