Dozens of friends came from near and far to celebrate Peace Pilgrim during our gathering on Sat., July 20 at beautiful Peace Pilgrim Park in Egg Harbor City, NJ. Naida Burgess opened the day with her beautiful open-air yoga, followed by our one-mile Peace Walk. Then FoPP Board Member Bruce Nichols led the group in a mindful meditation before playing a wonderful audio recording of Peace Pilgrim. Highlighting the gathering were stories shared by attendees about Peace Pilgrim’s impact on their lives. We were thrilled to welcome so many new faces to our circle of community, connection, and peace.
The following day, Bruce Nichols presented “The Spirit of Peace: Peace Pilgrim’s Life and Legacy” at the UU Congregation of the South Jersey Shore, sharing how her message of peace continues to inspire people around the world.
