One Planet Peace Forum (OPPF) is pleased to announce that its 4th annual gathering will be held October 6-8, for the first time in-person at historic Green Acre on the Piscataqua River in Eliot, Maine. The weekend will include two hybrid sessions on Saturday afternoon that will be live streamed worldwide and a special world music celebration Saturday afternoon with Randy Armstrong and friends.
This year’s theme, Foundations of Global Harmony and Planetary Peace, explores the questions: Why is race amity a prerequisite to world peace? How do inner harmony and fierce civility build peace? How is truth telling foundational to peace? Why are both contemplative and activist roles needed to create a culture of peace?
The program starts at 5pm Friday, October 6 and concludes after lunch Sunday, the 8th. For more information and to register, go to: www.oneplanetpeaceforum.org
