9th August: Global Grace Day




The Global GRACE Day is a special initiative by a growing movement of individuals all over the world. The movement cannot and should not be identified with a specific group or organization; it is an expanding movement of those who have started to develop the quality of GRACE in their hearts. You will recognize them not by their signs and signals, but by the way they behave, act and talk.

One core figure in this movement is Sabine Lichtenfels, peace activist and cofounder of the peace research village Tamera in Portugal. She is one of the most fascinating spiritual teachers of our time, connecting political actions with female peace knowledge in a unique way. She leads international pilgrimages through crisis areas and is the initiator of the “Global Campus,” an education program for young peace workers which will eventually have bases on all continents.


Why November 9th?

Throughout history, November 9th has seen both the force of cruelty and the power of liberation.
On November 9, 1938, known as the "Reichspogromnacht" (Crystal Night), synagogues were burned and more than 30,000 people were forced into concentration camps.
On November 9, 1989, the Berlin wall, acting as a barrier between two ideologies, was finally taken down.

Many peace movements around the world now use this day as a day of remembrance and as a day of opportunity to create a common peace power that no longer allows cruelty and separation between humans and our planet.
