Reflections from the Peace Pole

Dear Sunray community,

We are in the harvesting moment and I wish to thank all of you who have participated in and contributed towards this year’s Elders and Youth Gathering occurring the last weekend in July 2024.

At the 40th Gathering, I was deeply touched by the resonance of communities around the world and the leaders who came to share with us prayer and loving action. One of the key aspects of the Gathering was the presentation of the Peace Pole and the flags of all the world’s nations that was a ceremony brought to us by Dot Maver, Cher Feitelberg, Fumi Johns and those who joined them.

In the arbor at the Peace village, this ceremony energized the transformation of aggression and the building of cooperation between communities and nations worldwide. 

I deeply appreciate all those who made the ceremony possible and contribute to the energy of transformation through their peacemaking activities worldwide. 

Sincerely Yours, 

Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo
