What is the UN International Day of Peace?

The United Nations has been honoring one day per year for the last 55 years dedicated to peace. Started by Mahatma Ghandi as an invitation to put down all weapons of violence for just 24 hours, the day is meant to have humans pause our destructive patterns and choose more wisely.

Why do we celebrate International Peace Day at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary?

We celebrated A Day of Peace last year for the 1st time with a picnic and painting project. Everyone who came participated in a Pocket of Peace Meditation and painted a 4” peace medallion made of recycled log with their wishes for peace.

Join Us for a Peace Day Picnic at Patch Of Heaven Sanctuary!

We are getting creative by inviting you to help us create the only Peace Tree here in South Florida at our 20-acre nature & forest preserve. We will gather and have a picnic amidst the tranquil beauty of our sanctuary while contributing to a symbol of peace that will stand as a beacon of hope and unity for our community.

So why not consider a day to pause, come learn some practices of Peace and join us for something that will last both in our Peace Tree Dedication as well as within your heart.

Gandhi himself said, "there is no way to Peace. Peace is the way".

Be an outlier.

Make a date with yourself.

Meet and learn with others how to plant seeds of Peace on Earth.

It begins within. Now is the time.
