International Day of Peace ~ Sea of Oms

International Day of Peace

Friday, September 21st

Join us for a Sea of Oms by the waterfall

5:30 pm

In 1981, the United Nations passed a unanimous resolution to globally declare September 21st as The International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”). The intention was set that on this date all humanity would commit to peace above all differences and contribute to building a culture of peace for future generations.

On Friday, September 21st, our community will gather together at 5:30 pm to create what is often referred to as a “Sea of Oms”. It is a lovely, flowing tone of Oms with each person’s breath coming at their unique pace and rhythm and connecting with others’ voices to create a harmonious sound of peace and tranquility. We hope you join us and please bring family and friends to this very special and intentional offering of peace for our community and our world.
