21^st of September is the International day of peace! It is a day dedicated to peace, initially the 21^st of September was sanctioned to be a day of ceasefire in war torn nations, allowing them access to humanitarian aid.  But, as human awareness is expanding, World Peace day has a much deeper meaning.  Peace is not merely an absence of war, but a state of mind,  as UNESCO declared, “'since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed”.

Next to the UN headquarters in New York resides the “peace bell” on which is inscribed the words, “Long Live Absolute World Peace”.  At Peace Revolution we believe that absolute world peace begins with absolute inner peace.  Inner peace + Outer peace = Sustainable World Peace.

As part of Peace Revolution’s 2012: Change the world – In the beginning campaign and leading up to the International Day of Peace, our super peace agents have organized exciting activities to help spread the vibes of peace in their communities:

Vibes of Peace at the CIVICUS World Assembly!

The 2012 CIVICUS World Assembly “defining a new social contract”, under the premise of changing governments starts from changing its citizens. As we witness the shift in human evolution we see new forms of citizen participation. With this changing social environment, the CIVICUS World Assembly will define a “new social contract” for world citizens. The world assembly will start with a LIVE Online meditation with Peace Revolution, on 3 September, organized by Peace Agent Aya Chebbi and Peace Agent Andreea Tudorache, and broadcast live from the Peace Revolution Studio in Thailand. The meditation will clear the mind and produce inner peace to prepare the participants for a day of discussion and reflection. You can also follow this meditation live on the Peace Revolution Channel

Date and Time: 3 September 11:45am(GMT time)
