The Month of Peace in RI this September was a huge success thanks to the many organizations who created events and the many people who participated in the events. There were 25 peace events held all around RI throughout the month of September. The month was off to a great start with a Peace Walk at WaterFire. Then all month long we had dances for peace, meditations, performances by musicians, storytellers, spoken-word artists, singers for peace; thoughtful speakers for peace; a nonviolence training; art for peace — and last, but not least — the making of peace flags! Thank you all for your participation. It was wonderful to bring together programs that reflect the many aspects of peace, showing how much effort the people of RI put into peace and nonviolence. The traditions of our progressive founder Roger Williams continue to this day. Thank you. In peace and gratitude, Ginny Fox

Ongoing events celebrating the Month of Peace, Rhode Island, 2012
This workshop invites you to explore the variety of ways walking can be a spiritual practice. We will try a handful, and share conversation and poetry about walking with intention. We’ll practice Zen walking meditation, peace pilgrimage, and a t’ai chi vitality walk. We’ll synchronize breath with steps, and practice mindfulness and concentration while walking.
All ages are invited to join us for this wonderful opportunity to stop and enjoy being together in a beautiful setting as we learn practices for increasing peace within ourselves, our families and the world.
There will be singing and a children’s Dharma talk, followed by a talk for adults, and games and mindful activities for children. We will practice walking meditation, eating meditation and deep relaxation, ending our day with an informal tea ceremony. The facilitator for our day is Dharma Teacher Joanne Friday, a student of Buddhist Monk and Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh and an ordained teacher in his Order of Interbeing.
A suggested registration donation of $15 for individuals, couples or families will help with rent and smaller expenses incurred in organizing this day. An offering for Joanne is not included in this donation. Joanne considers the Dharma to be the greatest gift she has received, and in gratitude offers her teachings freely as a practice of generosity. The Rhode Island Community of Mindfulness invites you to offer a donation to her in proportion of your means.
