Come and join us at the Sydney Peace Festival on Sunday September 21st.
We’ll be giving a Oneness Blessing between 9 and 10pm, on the steps between Victoria Park and the University of Sydney.
The United Nations International Day of Peace is a day of global ceasefire and non-violence, and you are cordially invited to spend an hour – or more – participating in a series of meditations and vigils to promote peace on the planet.
The Sydney Peace Festival has been conducted since 2006, and is timed to coincide with the International Day of Peace (September 21st) each year.
It consists of three major events :
A 24hr Peace Vigil which unifies all the disparate voices, all the different cultures, occupations and roles in this desire for peace into one voice, one call, one Sydney – showing that our mutual desire for a peaceful existence supersedes any differences which may normally exist in our day to day lives.
A Peace Concert, held in Victoria Park and attended by hundreds of local residents. The concert, open free of charge, celebratesd what has already been achieved in our capacity to live harmoniously in our own local community. To tangibly demonstrate that the similarities are greater than the differences by combining all local cultures together with their different traditions, dances and music but the same universal aim.
A Peace Forum Conducted at Parliament House Sydney, aimed at facilitating in building a bridge between the peace practitioners and the politicians. It also aims to create a constructive pathway not only for dialogue and change but also to create a level of recognition that at its core is working together to achieve the same outcome – peace.
