7th Annual 24 Hour

Interfaith Chant for Peace


July 31 - August 1


7pm Friday - 7pm Saturday

As the world continues to struggle with great changes to our society, environment, economy…finding the place within ourselves that is always at peace is crucial. Chanting is one way to direct our body, hearts, and minds with our highest spiritual aspirations and touch the compassion of our heart.

During the 24 hour Interfaith Chant for Peace we come together to appreciate each tradition’s unique expression of the universal desire to be free from violence, hatred, and suffering. We form one community and join our voices together, beginning to cultivate the peace and understanding that is so desperately needed in the world.

Each hour of the Chant for Peace is led by a different spiritual tradition. There are times of seated chanting and times of circumambulating the monastery. Anyone and everyone is invited to attend for any length of time. There are beds available for napping and a buffet table available for refreshment throughout the event.

There is no cost for this event, although monetary or food donations are always greatly appreciated. If you know of a group who is interested in participating they can contact Ryushin Creedon . Please direct other questions to Great Vow Registrar
