Celebrations to raise funds include... music, dance, meditation, yoga, conscious shifting speakers, yoga workshops and educational programs. Make an intention to experience the power of collective consciousness during this global peace event.

And get this... all funds raised from the event will go directly to the organization that promotes world peace by going to organizations that help global warming, the prevention of AIDS, and the effects of war and even poverty.

What is a mala?

A mala is a string of 108 seeds or beads, representing the sacred cycle of 108. Each bead is called a 'sumeru'.

The string of beads is used as a tool to keep your mind focused. It is usually used during meditation.
