Walk for Peace!

Recent global events can make us feel divided by discord and trepidation, but some of the most effective change movements come in the most silent forms. One such movements is in the form of a Peace Walk, a pilgrimage that transforms simple walking into deep compassion, mindfulness, and nonviolence. It is not propelled by words or demonstrations, but by being, willfulness, and human communication.

A Peace Walk is a conscious walk that is done on foot in the name of peace, harmony, and understanding among all people. Peace walks, in contrast to the demonstrations that are based on resistance or anger, are focused on inner peace, a sense of community, and peaceful action. The participants take a slow and conscious pace of walking, frequently without talking or muttering prayers, but with every step they take becomes an extension of their own dedication to peace.

Distance does not matter, the idea behind the walk remains the same, that is, to remind people and the community that peace is not a global issue, but rather their individual obligation. It turns walking into a practice that unites an individual’s heart, mind, and body with the greater community.

In its most fundamental concept, a peace walk educates us that there is no waiting until we have peace. It is something we create and practice.
