Join us for a weekly online meditation gathering to envision and empower peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Every Friday at noon to 12:30 EST, we will meet virtually to sit in meditation, focusing our minds on compassion, forgiveness, and unity.
The current conflict in the Middle East is a response to a long, complex, and troubled history. It is very painful to see what is happening there, especially to civilians on both sides. We appeal to all combatants to put an immediate stop to killing and acts of violence. This is difficult but there is no other way. There can be no solution, no end to the suffering if things continue as they are.
We invite our friends to sit with us so that, together, we may cool anger and hatred, stop harmful actions, open our hearts, generate compassion, and radiate the powerful energy of peace.
Our beloved Israeli and Palestinian friends urgently need the support of the international community – each of us. They need to know that the whole world shares in their suffering and sorrow, that we send our love and pray for their safety and wellbeing. This is a time for the entire human family to manifest our capacity for wisdom, compassion, tolerance, and peace.
People of all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome from wherever you are in the world. No prior meditation experience is required. All that is needed is an open heart and commitment to fostering nonviolence.
When we unite in mindfulness and shared intention, our inner light illuminates the path forward.
