INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE SEPTEMBER 21, 2025
Theme: Act Now for a Peaceful World
In a time of turbulence, tumult, and uncertainty, it is important for everyone to take concrete action to mobilize for peace. From peacekeepers on the front lines, to community members, to students in classrooms around the world, everyone has a role to play. We can speak up against violence, hate, discrimination, and inequality; practice respect; and embrace the diversity of our world.
There are many ways to act right now. Spark conversations about the need for understanding, non-violence, and disarmament. Volunteer in your community, listen to voices different from your own, challenge discriminatory language in your workplace, report bullying both online and off-line, and take the time to verify facts before you post on social media.
You can also speak up with your choices, opting to purchase items from socially-conscious brands, or donating to organizations that promote sustainability and human rights.
Peace is not just a vision—it’s a call to action that each of us can answer by promoting understanding, respect, and justice in our daily lives.
Sunray Meditation Society offers Peacekeeper Training Programs – Peacekeeper students come together from many different religious and spiritual paths to reflect upon, study and build skills in fulfilling their shared commitment to carry peace to their families, communities, and the world.
The Peacekeeper Program trains people in personal and planetary transformation by learning to perceive the patterns of mind-emotion and how to bring forth peace in the hearts of the people and Mother Earth.
The program is rooted in the timeless Native American spiritual wisdom of “caretaker mind” and living in “right relationship” within the circle of life. The program also offers the opportunity to align with one’s life purpose so that one may manifest one’s gifts in harmony with the planetary biosphere.
Recognition of one’s responsibility and power to manifest peace through right relationship with all the family of life.
