United Nations International Day of Peace

Individuals create societies. Our society shapes us as individuals. There is a defining relationship between how we are and the world we live in.

At this free community event, you will cultivate inner peace through the practice of meditation and reflect on how to engage peacefully with family, colleagues, community and society.

• Outer Peace - A keynote address and Q+A with the Institute for Economics and Peace’s founder, Steve Killelea
• Inner Peace - A talk and guided meditation by Rigpa Teacher Marianne Gizycki
• Building Peace - An interactive Pillars of Peace workshop facilitated by the IEP’s Lea Perekrests. Experience how to create ‘Positive Peace’ and strengthen peace in your own family and community

You can join this event in person at Rigpa’s National Centre in Newtown, Sydney or online.
