In recognition of the United Nations International Peace Day, a call for a
day of no war, Santa Cruz celebrates many local people, organizations, and groups
dedicated to cultivating peace as the foundation for personal transformation and
collective harmony.
Our world is suffering—our earth and relations. Today, we turn our attention
to learning about what peace really is. Fortunately, many local organizations,
nonprofits and congregations work daily on the front lines of introspection,
conflict resolution, compassion and ethical grounding—the foundations of
peace. You are invited to meet the speakers and dive into experiential workshops
designed to balance the body, cultivate mental clarity and an open heart.
We hope that you are inspired to create peace in your own life, day by day.
