History:

The Universal Peace Covenant was created in 1996-7 by over two dozen spiritual teachers whose ancestral roots span the world. The timeless wisdom in the 577-word document serves as an instrument defining how to think peacefully and live peaceably in a world that is constantly changing. Read the Covenant with people around the world New Years Eve each year.

Will you make our goal, your goal, too?

Our goal is to make the Universal Truths expressed in THE UNIVERSAL PEACE COVENANT available to everyone on Earth. If you can translate the Covenant into your native tongue, please do so and email it to us. With your help we can share the inspiring wisdom in this visionary document with others.

Read an article from Java Journal about one such gathering in St. Louis, Missouri in 2014, just weeks after the shooting in Ferguson.

Universal Peace Covenant

Lessons in Peacemaking

From universal harmonics to global delegations, our Peacemaking Lessons offer first-hand experiences with living peaceably and thinking peacefully.

“For millennia we have contemplated, reasoned, and practiced the idea of peace.  Yet the capacity to sustain peace eludes us.  To transcend the limits of our own thinking we must acknowledge that peace is more than the cessation of conflict.  For peace to move across the face of the earth we must realize, as the great philosophers and leaders before us, that all people desire peace.”

-The Universal Peace Covenant
