Join thousands of people who will gather in Plaza de Espana in Santo Domingo on Sunday, 21 September 2014 at 4pm for an afternoon of meditation for world peace.
The event is organized by The Art of Living branch in the Dominican Republic as part of a global event by the Art of Living foundation in 100 countries.
The event is described as the largest worldwide simultaneous meditation for peace event. Event coordinator Carmen Julia Gomez Carrasco says that the event seeks to promote peace in our minds as a step to reaching peace in society.
The event, which has the sponsorship of the Ministry of Tourism, is being held in support of the United Nations “International Peace Day” celebrated 21 September every year to strengthen the ideals of peace among all nations.
The event is free and no previous experience of meditation is required. There will be music from the group Ciguapiando, stretching exercises and breathing exercises as part of the event.
If you plan to attend, bring your own yoga mat if you have one, or a large towel or blanket for placing on the ground, and wear comfortable clothing.
