About this Event

Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me... now.

You are invited to join us for a walk for peace within the Hollywood Cemetery— a gentle pilgrimage through nature, presence, and responsibility.

We will gather at main entrance near the office and restrooms.

There trail is paved. It's 2 miles.


This is a quiet walk.

Not to suppress thought — but to let the inner chatter soften.

To listen more deeply.

To tune into your breath, your body, the birds, the river, and your connection to the living world.

Before we begin, you are invited to turn off your phone — to set aside the hum of the world — and tune instead to the quieter currents within.

Let the mind settle.

Let the body lead.

Let the river, the birds, the trees, and the ground beneath your feet become your teachers.

Silence gives space for the inner voice to be heard — the one that knows how to listen, how to belong, how to remember its place in the living web.

You are welcome to wear orange, if you wish, as a gesture of solidarity with the monks walking for peace whose presence and devotion inspired this gathering.

We walk not to fix the world from a distance,
but to take responsibility for our part in it
to carry peace in our nervous systems,
to let it move through our steps,
and to offer it back to the Earth and to one another.

Come as you are.
Walk with the Earth.
Listen for what is alive within you.
Let peace take root.

There is no cost. All are free to attend.
After the walk, those who wish to linger and get to know each other are invited to meet at a nearby coffee shop or restaurant.
