Moving Towards PeaceA Montreal Community Initiative
Bouger ensemble vers la paixUne initiative communautaire montréalaise
September 21, 2025
McGill University Centre, 3480 McTavish St.
Language Inclusive: French, English, and Spanish
In the challenging times of 2025, on this global day of unity, we join the United Nations and Peace One Day movements to gather and remember that peace begins with oneself, and radiates outwards,
from one "island of coherence” to another.
The Stances of the Day
Focusing On:
Flow of the Day
1) Arriving & Connecting: What is our Shared Intention?2) Accepting: What are we each bringing with us into this space?3) Going Deep: What are we feeling/sensing in our world today?4) Letting Go: What do we need to express, feel, and let go of?5) Presencing: Pausing (a “Ma”) for reflection, Intuition, & our felt-senses.6) Collective Insight- What new perspectives & insights have we gained?7) Letting Come: What are the possibilities that are surfacing/emerging?8) Harvesting: How will we now act - as a group and as an individual?9) Closing: The next step(s) forward.
Let’s co-create a powerful moment of presence, creativity, emergence and possibility.
You are warmly invited to join us!
Moving Together Toward a Peaceful World – From Within
Join us for a unique one-day gathering to mark the International Day of Peace through the Social Arts: writing, movement, art, music, stillness, and embodied presence. Together, we’ll create a generative space where each person’s presence matters, and where the social field is ripe for connection, openness and emergence.

Why Montréal?
Because Montreal, with its rich diversity of language, culture and socio-economic perspectives, has always been a meeting place and remains today a place of dialogue, acceptance “of the other” and reconciliation.
What will we explore?
In a co-created safe-space, we will explore how we can move forward and/or discover new perspectives on the key questions that we each hold at this time around the very idea of personal, community and global Peace.
