Peace Walk & Vigil 2026

Together in Presence--United for Peace

On April 11th, Creative SoulCraft will host a 12-Hour Peace Walk Vigil from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Stillwood Pond Retreat and Studio on Woodleaf Road just a few miles out of Salisbury.

The walk & vigil is dedicated to advancing peace through mindful action. We believe lasting peace begins within each individual. When inner peace is cultivated, it naturally extends outward into families, communities, nations, and the world through compassion, ethical conduct, and shared responsibility.

This walk & vigil serves as:

A living symbol of our collective commitment
A space for inner reflection
A bridge across communities and traditions
A reminder that sustainable peace begins with mindful presence

Each step taken around the pond or through the woodland trails represents a commitment to inner awareness and outward harmony.

We invite you to sign up for a for the time you will arrive and participate for as long as you are able, in one of two ways:

• Walk the peaceful trail around the pond
• Sit vigil around the fire pit while others walk

The fire will serve as a symbol of our shared intention and enduring commitment to sustainable peace. Our goal is to maintain a continuous presence throughout the entire 12 hours.

Individuals, families or small groups are warmly welcome to participate.

Opening intention begins at 7:00 a.m.
Closing gratitude circle begins at 6:45 p.m.

Your presence — whether walking or sitting — strengthens the whole.
