"Creating Community, Celebrating Peace"

INTRODUCTION TO WORLD PEACE GARDENS

"Creating Community, Celebrating Peace"

World Peace Gardens began its journey on November 11th, 2007 when Daniel Pettegrew, an environmental designer and entrepreneur woke up that morning and knew it was time to focus more of his life's energy on creating world peace.

Less than a year later, through a series of small (and large) miracles World Peace Gardens officially became a 501 (c)(3), non-profit foundation. On January 11th, 2009, World Peace Gardens began having weekly gatherings to bring people together to celebrate oneness and world peace. Each week speakers, musicians and artists from various walks of life would donate their time and talents in sharing their personal stories of following their hearts and finding their own path in life.

Since that time the weekly gatherings have reached thousands of people and touched many lives even reaching people as far away as England and Australia and hearing speakers from places like Peru and Switzerland.

One of the goals of World Peace Gardens has always been to go beyond talking about world peace to literally creating it through new community development. Someone attending one of the gatherings heard about this idea and decided to help out by generously donating 80 acres to World Peace Gardens for the sole purpose of creating a new, sustainable community focused on oneness and world peace.

Funny how things can happen when you talk, eat, sleep and breathe it long enough, things can shift, minds and hearts can change... So the journey continues, from that one person and with that one idea that world peace is even possible to many people now gathering and working together, sharing their hearts, their time, their talents and resources in the quest for world peace.

Won't you be part of this journey? Alone we can be a great influence on those around us but together we can make miracles happen, indeed we can make a new kind of world happen!
