September 22 each year

A special day for focussing on Radiant Peace

Anyone can participate in any way they choose — from individual reflection and meditation to joyous gatherings at special events like Radiant Peace Walks and picnics. You, yourself, or along with family and friends and many other people around the world, can use your own creativity to honor, commemorate and celebrate in any way you choose. Ideas to get you started:

• Read some of the Radiant Peace quotes from children on this Web site.
• Display Radiant Peace banners at your home or office.
• Go for a walk for Radiant Peace, by yourself or with others. Many people experience Radiant Peace in nature.
• Create a proclamation for The International Day of Radiant Peace where you are. One sample proclamation (PDF) can get you started.
• Have a Radiant Peace picnic or party. What about a Radiant Peace chocolate party, where each person brings something made of chocolate to share?
• Ring bells for Radiant Peace. Universities, churches and community carillons have sounded bells to remind people of Radiant Peace. You can also use the Radiant Peace bells in your home, car or office.
