WAKE UP FOR PEACE

Wake up for Peace - your peace - our peace - world peace. On the UN
International Day of Peace, join individuals from all walks of life to create
silent, powerful intentions of peace and goodwill - on one day, for one purpose
- as one community.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


7.45AM - 8.30AM, SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2016


MELBOURNE - AUSTRALIA - DEAKIN EDGE, FEDERATION SQUARE

Click here for our 2017 UN peace day event!


On the morning of 21st of September, 2016, the UN International Day of Peace,
individuals from all walks of life will come together for a common purpose – to
mindfully create silent and powerful intentions of peace and goodwill for all in
our world.

The guided morning meditation to spoken commentary and sublime music will be
supported by a team of experienced practitioners of meditation, from all sectors
of the community, who will each light a candle for peace on behalf of us all and
hold a meditative space on the stage.



The UN International Day of Peace is observed around the world on September 21st
every year by the General Assembly of the United Nations, to the ideals of
peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. Millions around the world
take part in observing this day.

“This year’s theme – the Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for
Peace – highlights how ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring
broadly shared prosperity all contribute to global harmony. When we all work
together, we can make peace possible, starting with 24 hours of peace on
September 21. " (Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General, 13th June 2016)

Following it's successful launch in 2015, in 2016, we invite all who share a
concern for world peace to join this event at Federation Square and proactively
support this Day. We believe that there is power in the gathering – and that
this kind of human connection holds limitless possibility, consistent with the
following quote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed
citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
(Margaret Mead)

The event will be closed by Lord Mayor Robert Doyle and Matt Jones (General
Manager, Program & Events, Federation Square). We invite you as well as your
friends and colleagues to wake up for peace and come together for this
inspirational event at Federation Square.



Register here. Please note that this event will also be broadcast live on the
main screen in Federation Square.

This event is presented by Calm in the City and Federation Square.

ENDORSING COMMENTS




ADAM GOODES

“I have used meditation for many years to keep myself grounded. I have also used
meditation to find that inner peace. I have no doubt that meditation has helped
me live in the moment and make choices that are not only beneficial to me but
people around me” Adam Goodes, Former AFL player, dual Brownlow medalist and
2014 Australian of the Year

Adam Goodes


DR IAN GAWLER

"Meditation is well proven to have an accumulative effect - both from personal
experience and research studies. When like-minded people gather together to
meditate, there is a synergistic effect that radiates the positive benefits
beyond that of the group meditating. So… Calm in the City offers the opportunity
to have a cumulative, positive effect on our wider community. What better way to
spend a morning in September?" Dr Ian Gawler OAM, Author and meditator





Dr Ian Gawler


SHANNON HARVEY

"Imagine an event where luminaries from all faiths, as well as leaders from
politics, business, academia, healthcare, and the media, come together with
people from all walks of life in the wider community, with no other agenda other
than to simply meditate on peace. The Wake Up for Peace event is a powerful
demonstration of what happens when we put it all aside and unite for a common
purpose - to cultivate peace and goodwill. The air is positively charged with a
great sense of togetherness. It is truly extraordinary." Shannon Harvey,
Director and Producer, The Connection Documentary

Shannon Harvey


STEPHANIE DOWRICK

“Everything that our world needs - greater kindness, good health, social
justice, safety, happiness - depends on our capacity to live in peace. And our
capacity to live in peace depends entirely on us. Let each one of us find and
sustain peace in our hearts so we can offer peace freely and abundantly to our
world. No greater change is needed. Choosing peace benefits everyone, without
exception. I love the beautiful, engaged work that 'Calm in the City' is doing.
May it grow and blossom. May it in every way be blessed. May all our lives be
blessed with true and lasting peace.” Reverend Dr Stephanie Dowrick, writer,
interfaith leader, social commentator

Stephanie Dowrick

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING




ELISE BIALYLEW

“To create real transformation and peace in the world we need to develop more
self-awareness, compassion and wisdom. Meditation develops all of these
qualities. I believe the answer to global peace lies in the inner transformation
of individuals who as a collective can influence positive change in the world.
Meditation supports this movement towards a more conscious, peaceful world.” Dr
Elise Bialylew Founder of Mindful in May and Mindful Life Project

Elise Bialylew


PETREA KING

"You don't arrive at a place called Peace and unpack. Peace is a moment by
moment choice. Choose peace."   Founder & CEO | Quest for Life Foundation
