Seeds of Peace Community Festival Happens Today at One Wisdom Fellowship!

It’s finally here! The Seeds of Peace Community Festival! All the fun takes place today at One Wisdom Fellowship (500 E. 39th St., Baltimore, MD 21218).
Arrive at 10:45am, and hear our keynote speaker Mia Jones discuss reaching your full potential, plus other presentations on peace throughout the day.

From 12-5pm the festival swings into full fear with live music (jazz, hip-hop, rock, and more, plus a drumming circle) and cool exhibitors from the Ten Thousand Villages to the Peace Study Center and EarthSave Baltimore. There is something for everyone!

Get Your Kirtan Chant On with Rev. Ed Geraty!

Don’t miss the Kirtan chant from 12-1pm inside of One Wisdom Fellowship with Rev. Ed Geraty. Not familiar with Kirtan? No problem. All are welcome!

Kirtan practice originated in India and is over 5,000 years old. This joyful spiritual practice quickly spread throughout India, as well as in the West, where today Kirtan is seen as one of the great paths to enlightenment. It has been likened to modern American Gospel music, and in its heartfelt expression it compares to profound states of deep meditation.

It is a heart practice, not an intellectual one. Through Kirtan we access the universal presence, the Buddha mind, the transcendent reality within us.

Feel free to bring percussion instruments (drums, shakers, rattles, etc) and join in on this amazing practice.

Calling all Peace Groups & Activists!

We’re chatting today at One Wisdom Fellowship (500 E. 39th Street) after our 10:30am meeting to plan the annual Seeds of Peace Community Festival in June! It’s such a fun event – from music to peace groups and delicious food.

It’s a wonderful way to spread the message of peace – in one’s self, the community and the world. We’re planning to finalize the date, and talk about cool things like reaching out to musicians, peace groups, exhibitors and performers.

If you know of a great organization, performer, or food vendor who should be at this year’s festival, feel free to comment below, or email us: seedsofpeacecomfest@gmail.com.
