  • International Day of Peace + Film Screening

    September 21, 2026

    10:00 AM - 12 PM Pacific

    ONLINE | ZOOM

    Each year on September 21, the world observes the International Day of Peace, established by the United Nations in 1981. It is dedicated to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. Traditionally, it is a day of ceasefires, reflection, and nonviolent action, inviting everyone to consider how they can contribute to a more compassionate and just world.

    Joining us is our friend, Taoist teacher John Blue, who will be offering peace exercises prior to and following the film, as well as holding open discussion about the importance of this day, the meaning of peace, and its deep connection to nonviolence. We're so happy to collaborate with him and Campaign Nonviolence Action Days for this event.
