2005-09-13, CELEBRATE PEACE - The Celebrate Peace Tour arrives in New York City September 23 & 24. Free peace-related concert and workshops.New York, NY (PRWEB) September 13, 2005 -- The Celebrate Peace tour is rolling into town on September 23 and 24 with a message of hope - celebrating peace that exists right now and offering tools for cultivating peace in our lives, in our communities, and in the world. The weekend is part of a national series of free peace-related workshops and concerts sponsored by Peace Cereal with other partners, including the NYC-based Breathe Magazine, and DC-based non-profit organization, PEACE X PEACE.
Celebrating Peace when the world is at war may seem contradictory, but it is precisely the time when we need to recognize it, according to Celebrate Peace program director Jeff Klein: “We celebrate peace because peace exists all around us, and by celebrating it, we acknowledge its existence and bring it into focus.”
The Celebrate Peace events include:
• Celebrate Peace Children’s Hour, Yoga and Song with singer Snatam Kaur, presented by Spirit Voyage Music
• Connecting Women for Peace, presented by PEACE X PEACE and sponsored by Breathe magazine
• Becoming a Peacebuilder, presented by The Peace Company and Louise Diamond, author of the Celebrate Peace book, and sponsored by UTNE magazine
• Snatam Kaur & The Celebrate Peace Band in concert Celebrating the Sound & Spirit of Peace, presented by Spirit Voyage Music

Professionally facilitated, participants will step into the ancient tradition of meeting in circle, creating a sacred space and joining with other women’s groups from around the world through the PEACE X PEACE Global Network.

WHERE: Subud Chelsea Center, 230 West 29th Street, New York
Becoming a Peacebuilder
The Peace Company presents a workshop to learn how to let ‘the peacebuilder within’ be an active presence in the world. This highly interactive workshop will introduce you to the three basic principles of peacebuilding. First, Know Where You Are – find the living spirit of peace within yourself, in your values and vision for peace and your place of true inner peace. Second, Meet the Other – soften the hardened heart and connect deeply with those where there is hurt, fear, difference, conflict, or anger. Third, See What You Can Do Together – move that connection into creative action that grows peace in concrete ways. You will come away with tools that you can use to make a difference – in your life, your family, your community, and this one world we all call home.
WHEN: Saturday, September 24
WHERE: Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew, 263 West 86th Street, New York
Snatam Kaur and the Celebrate Peace Band Concert - 7–9 p.m.
A Musical Celebration of the Spirit of Peace
Our ability to come together in song, and to connect with inner peace through music and mantra is testimony to the presence and power of peace. The concert features a delightful segment with local children leading the audience in song, and a multi-faith invocation with representatives from various local congregations. This musical celebration of the spirit of peace reminds us that peace is always available to us, and brings us together to celebrate peace.
