Peace Festival Aims

The festival aims to bring people to a state of peace that leads to the discovery of a deeper perception that is inclusive, to speak from a place of wisdom and to perform action that cares for the well-being of all life. The focus of the festival is on peace and inclusivity and is non denominational. 

In 2020 New Zealand's Race Relations Minister Meng Foon was a previous guest speaker representing the Human rights commission of New Zealand.

We encourage you, your children, your organisation and our community to experience this peaceful state of awareness. Our world needs Peace as does every individual. We invite your to join us in the Ekam Peace festival activities in New Zealand.

Linda Cholmondeley-Smith – Mercury Bay Resident and Peace Launch Co-ordinator.
