GPI supports the participation of public walks as an exercise for peace consciousness development. GPI sponsored Peace Hikes involve people in a mindful process of walking meditation. With a focus on walking in beauty, walkers begin to see the power of nature and the miracles around them.

People improve their health, reduce their stress and make a connection with the world around them in a personal way. While walking, walkers also engage in the highest form of peacemaking, service. They do this as they walk and pick up trash, leaving less of a footprint on the earth and in their neighborhoods. This mindful service while simply walking through the parks and streets of our communities promotes awareness, participation and ownership.

Over the past two years Global Peace Initiatives has increased the number of Peace Hikes they provide and added new locations closer to people in neighborhoods where they live.

Why are these people smiling?

 Because they are on a Peace Hike! Join us and have fun!
We hike in any and all kinds of weather. We relish any weather as part of the miracle of nature and the world around us.
