The Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere is traditionally a time for welcoming back the light. And this is certainly a time in our earth’s history that is in need of light to counteract the heaviness touching the hearts of good-willed people around the world and from all spiritual traditions.
It’s not just the wars in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It’s because we are connected on so many different levels and feel each other’s distress deeply. This is why we can strive to lighten the world’s burden by praying for peace and performing actions – both symbolic and substantial in their hopefulness – to promote peace. We can emphasize the power of peace by focusing on peace and amplifying its impact by coming together to call for peace.
Please join like-minded souls from various religious and spiritual traditions as we ignite the light of peace in our own hearts to encourage the spread of peace in our world at this time of increasing conflict and violence. Together, we will join in:
Praying, Singing, Silence, Meditation, Sharing Hopes and Dreams for Peace, and Sharing Readings
This is an interactive gathering and all are welcome.
