Walk for Peace to RestFest

You're invited to join us for a Walk for Peace Saturday, May 9 starting at 8:15 a.m. at the Virginia War Memorial Carillon in Byrd Park and ending at the Carillon and the kick off of Rest Fest.

This walk is about more than just moving our feet — it's a chance to come together in community and set our intention for peace: in our hearts, our relationships, and our world. As we walk, we'll slow down, breathe deeply, and move with calm and mindfulness — letting each step be a small act of hope and healing.
There's no special pace or agenda, just open hearts and a shared commitment to carrying a little more peace with us wherever we go.

The trail is an easy, paved 3 mile walk

If you'd like to wear orange in solidarity with the monks who inspired the walk, that would be fitting. If you choose to wear orange, people may come up to you at Rest Fest and ask about the Walk for Peace.

Our walk ends at Rest Fest. We are their special guests.
We'd love to have you with us. Let me know if you have any questions!
