"See Peace, Be Peace, Behold Peace"
Saturday, 9/21, 5:00 - 6:30 pm
Join us for a commemoration of the International Day of Peace at the Reno Buddhist Center.
Colleen Akiko will be sharing stories, songs and somatics to help us be "the Peace we long to see in the world."
The United Nations has designated International Peace Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire. This year's global theme is "Cultivating a Culture of Peace."
Bring your intention and an open—even a broken, heart to explore seeing through the illusion of separateness, into the reality of peace on earth.
Sponsored by Prayers Without Borders, this event is offered free of charge, with donations received for Reno Buddhist Center, 820 Plumas St. in Reno.
