Video Launch for Nous Sommes Ensemble - a song for peace

Friends, nous sommes ensemble – we are together – for peace! I produced this song in Goma, DRC, where peace is desperately needed. I wrote it in minutes, on a short flight because over 100 rebel groups made road travel unsafe. Once we landed, rebel fighting prevented us from completing our humanitarian missions to help internally displaced people fleeing conflict. We passed deserted homes and farms, checkpoints and armed guards, had constant radio contact with the security team, but couldn't work.

Joshua wishes everyone could learn peace (video)

Today, I had a meeting with Joshua Oyergiu, our peace partner in Uganda. We are planning how to expand our peace program in 2025. When Joshua started sharing from his heart how relevant our peace curriculum is to his students, and how he wished everyone, young and old alike, had the opportunity to learn how to nurture more peaceful relationships, I asked him to please share his message with you. I know you will be as encouraged as I was. 

Why Pavla Uppal leads Dances of Universal Peace

This summer, I explored new aspects of something that has long fascinated me — dancing for peace. Dancing is one of my favourite endorphin-enhancing activities that help me get out of my head and into my body. Invariably, dancing increases my joy and peace, along with my heart rate. So when Dances of Universal Peace practitioners met in Toronto's High Park, I joined them to incant peace into our circle, our souls, and the world. May our steps fall on fertile ground, producing a harvest of peace.

Pray for Peace in Jerusalem (video)

Three years ago, my heart pulled me to Israel and Palestine to experience the reality of this iconic conflict for myself, talk to Israelis and Palestinians, and search for ways to support peace. It is one of the hardest places I've ever been, where CryPeace means crying more tears and crying louder for justice than almost anywhere else. This week, as renewed tensions escalate over Jerusalem, my heart breaks that this city, holy to all three Abrahamic faiths, is a cause of hatred instead of love, violence instead of peace, war instead of worship.

Inner and outer harmony - Ian Miguel's story

In my recent post, God has blessed us to bless others, I told you about meeting Ian and José Carlos on the beach while they were doing an environmental survey to track global warming. After talking for a little while about their project, I told them about my passion for peace, and the storytelling project that I was conducting around the world. When I asked Ian what peace mean to him, I was struck by the answer.

Motorcycle Diaries: Friday the 13th Motorcycle Rally (video)

My cheeks hurt. Not because of dental surgery, but because I can't stop smiling. I just got back from the Friday the 13th motorcycle rally in Port Dover, Ontario. I can't believe I rode for years and never made it before. This time I took a day off work, grabbed my camera, and had a fabulous day! Peace overflows abundantly on days like today, when thousands of people — most of them strangers, in leather, riding motorcycles — share friendship and love.
