The Assisi Peace Project is an inclusive and ongoing movement. We seek to unite with like-minded individuals and organizations in an effort to create dialogue, find common ground, and work collaboratively towards collective peace. In accord with The Assisi Institute’s mission, we promote a spiritual and social peace that begins within each individual. Through the practice of meditation, we are creating a compassionate culture that nurtures agents of prayerful action and change.
The following efforts are just a few of the ways we’re currently promoting peace:
- Annual Peace Walk (and Interfaith Prayer Service) – An important fun raiser and a celebration of the thread that unites us all: peace
- Path of Peace – We are in the planning phases of developing a permanent walkway on our grounds that will be a prayerful and enduring statement of peace and solidarity
- Classes & Workshops – Themes have included: Interfaith study/dialogue, living from your heart, etc
- Alliances – Relationships and collaborations with like-minded organizations
- Tithing – We give monthly financial assistance to a rotating assembly of humanitarian organizations
Future Initiatives:
- 24-7 Meditation – Around the clock, at least one person meditating in the temple
- Peace Projects – Artwork, community outreach projects, and much more!
