The Experience
"Go to the sacred places of the Earth to pray for peace, and have respect for the Earth which gives us our food, clothing, and shelter. We need to reactivate the energy of these sacred places. That is our work."
- Mayan elder
The interfaith World Peace Pilgrimage is an inspirational and deeply spiritual experience bringing people of all faiths together for a common and noble cause. It is an experience which you, your friends and family will find truly memorable and uplifting amid surrounding natural beauty.
Pilgrims from all cultures have been climbing Holy mountains throughout history to send out spiritual energy to the world and for their own personal enrichment. In these critical and challenging days, spiritual energy is needed more than ever. Fortunately, in Southern California, we have the sacred and powerful energies of Mt. Baldy available to all people who believe in the power of prayer and selfless service.
Testimonials
Ceremonies are held at different different locations upon the mountain so that people of all ages and hiking ability can participate. At each of these locations the ceremony will include prayers, mystic chants and sacred music from several different spiritual traditions.
"It is good that all the paths, all the traditions, came together for one purpose."
The Venerable Bhante Pannaloka, a Buddhist monk
"Prayer, properly understood and applied, is the most potent instrument of action!"
