This article written by Rob Loveland recently appeared in the Council of Love’s newsletter. We have all been captivated by the 112 day walk of the Buddhist monks from TX to DC. Not just their powerful gesture and its inherent dedication but the response, the hunger for peace among all the ordinary people who witnessed this extraordinary act of love and endurance. Our team at A Lighthouse for the Soul is eager to get together and discuss this on Saturday Feb. 21- details below… please come!
Peace & Love,

Are You Following the Walk For Peace?
Since October 2025, a group of Buddhist monks have been walking 2300 miles across the United States, from Ft Worth, TX, to Annapolis, MD, to raise awareness of inner peace and mindfulness. The monks are on day 109 of the 120-day trek, currently visiting the monuments in Washington, D.C. They were even joined for a time by their loyal dog, Aloka! Many find their story very inspirational, especially given the unusually cold winter, so they are clearly achieving their intended purpose.
Regardless of whether you have been following the Walk For Peace journey (which can be done on-line at https://www.facebook.com/walkforpeaceusa), the question before you is, are you following your own path of peace? As the global political system continues to show itself to be so polarized, are you staying within that place of peace, that place beyond being sucked into the fray, where each side tries to convince the other that they are right. From the Divine Mother’s perspective, does it really matter?
This is what we would like to discuss at Saturday’s Spirit Cafe. We are sure you have valuable suggestions for how you’re dealing with the chaos to find that inner peace. Please join us to share your wisdom, to learn something, and to enjoy the company of like-minded souls.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21st, 11 am – 12 pm EST (New York time)
