Peace is every step: silent walking for peace

Please join us as we walk together in silence in our shared commitment to live in peace and harmony in the world. People of faiths and none are all welcome.

Sunday 21 January
12pm - 3pm
Trafalgar Square, London

Organised in response to escalating violence and warfare worldwide, particularly as occuring in Palestine and Israel, the event underscores the pressing need to advocate for peace amid the rising challenges of hatred, anger, destruction, displacement, suffering and increasing loss of life.

Facilitated by Plum Village UK and the Quakers in Britain, this initiative embodies a shared commitment to non-violence, reconciliation and peace, reflecting the spiritual and ethical values of all spiritual Communities. Walking together is a powerful reminder that sustainable peace requires engaged action rooted in understanding, compassion, love and justice.

The silent vigil walk transcends religious and cultural boundaries, uniting us all in common aspiration for a world built on peace. Peace transcends words and walking together fosters the nature of our interconnectedness.
In this event we silently recognise the continuation of the spiritual teacher, venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, on the day of his two-year Memorial Ceremony, honouring the many peaceful walks he led in London and the collective sitting meditation he offered in March 2012, at Trafalgar Square.
