Join a powerful movement happening in our community. During the first 11 days in September thousands of people of all faiths generating peace by being peace.

Daily practice is the key. For each eleven days in September, participants will devote a total of 30 minutes to silence. Practice on your own or with a group. One%, the organization sponsoring this community wide effort, has centers conveniently located around the Triangle that will be open for 30 minutes at 7 am, 12 pm and/or 7 pm.

On Friday, September 7th a 24-hour prayer and meditation vigil will be held in downtown Raleigh at the Long View Center. Between 10 am Friday and 10 am Saturday you are invited to join in the silence for as long as you like . The Vigil will end with a Multi-Faith Celebration at 10:30 am. An original researcher of the one percent effect, Dr. John Davies from the University of Maryland, will join leaders and musicians from various traditions in this moving celebration of oneness.

Culminating Saturday’s events hundreds of people will join together in Raleigh’s Moore Square for Peace in the Park on Saturday, September 8th at noon, 30 minutes of sacred silence.

These eleven days of concentrated practice will deepen the peace within ourselves, and through a ripple effect invoke peace in those around us. Scientific studies have shown that peace fostered in the 1% who meditate and pray touches the heart and minds of the other 99%. Through your own practice you will be a vital part of changing our world. Join us! Please sign up on our webiste. One%, an idea so simple it just might work!
