THE INSPIRATION FOR THE PEACE WALK
From July 25 to August 9, three Japanese monks made a walking pilgrimage of 1600 miles from San Francisco, California to Trinity, New Mexico to return the atomic flame from Japan to its origin point, thus closing the 60-year cycle of destruction and saving humanity.

The Three-Petals Partnership (Buddhist, Newman/Catholic and Quaker Centers)
Quarterly Peace Services rotating between multi-faith sponsors express our joint affirmations for peace, of mindfulness and a blossoming from our common humanity.

SUGGESTED APPAREL & other tips
