Peacewalk

Saturday, March 25, 2 PM

Studio City



On October 8th, the renowned Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, led over 3000 people in a mindful Peace Walk around MacArthur Park, Los Angeles. It was a beautiful demonstration of embodied peace.

Thay, or \"teacher\", as his students refer to him, called upon us to \"walk in such a way that each step we make becomes a realization of peace; each step becomes a prayer for peace and harmony?walk together in silence with no banners and no pickets?not a petition addressed to anyone, nor a demonstration against anyone? walk to unite our hearts, to nurture our togetherness and to dissipate fear and separation?learn together that wrong perceptions of self and others are at the foundation of separation, fear, hate and violence, and that togetherness and collaboration is possible.\"

The October 8th walk initiated Peace Is Every Step. PES is a Sangha (community of peace) which has taken up the task of sponsoring Peacewalks on a regular basis. We held our first walks on December 18th in Long Beach and January 22nd in Santa Monica. You can read about those walks here:

http://www.yoga-losangeles.com/peaceiseverystep/santamonicawalk.html

You are invited to help us nourish and cultivate the seed planted by the prior Peacewalks by stepping in peace with us again on Saturday, March 25 at 2 PM in Studio City. We will meet at the park located at Laurel Canyon and Moorpark and walk in peace through Studio City. Following the walk, there will be a meditation, a meditative exercise in \"mindful eating\" and words from sponsors and endorsers of the walk.

Given the chance of rain this time of year, in the event of heavy rain, we will meet at Angel City Yoga (12408 Ventura Blvd. At Whitsett, Studio City) for a sitting meditation. If the weather clears up, we will then peacewalk from Angel City.

What is a Peacewalk and what is walking meditation? How does walking in this way bring peace? When we walk in mindfulness we are in the here and the now. With each step, we experience fully the act of walking and we generate a field of peace in our hearts and stillness in our minds. We become walking manifestations of peace. A Peace Walk is silent and calm. There are no signs or banners or chants. The act of walking in peace stands as its own statement. It is a spiritual practice available to persons of any faith or of no faith. Numbers of people stepping in peace can be powerfully transformative both for the walkers and for those who observe and feel their energy of peace. As more people walk together with greater frequency, this field of manifest peace will gather momentum and energy and will have an effect on the larger world. As Thay says:

\"Peace in Oneself; Peace in the World\"
