This Friday, on The Conscious Consultant Hour ~Awakening Humanity~ Sam will speak with two distinguished activists who have been making an impact with the peace movement for decades. SuZen is an artist, educator and peace activist, who is the founder of Universal Peace Day, and the founder and Executive Director of the NYC Peace Museum. Then, we will be talking to Rev. Susana Basterrica, who is the Founder of the Vigil for International Peace and Ecology marking its 13th year, taking place on the International Day of Peace Sept 21 at Central Park's famous Bandshell. This coming Tuesday, August 5, 2014, marks the 30th anniversary of Universal Peace Day, which will commemorate the 69th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing. The goal of Universal Peace Day is to bring people around the world together to share their vision of peace and to transform a remembrance of horror into a rededication to Peace and life. In 2001, the United Nations unanimously passed resolution 55/282 designating September 21 of each year as an "International Day of Peace." The intention of the resolution is to have the entire World observe a full day of "global ceasefire and nonviolence." We will have a full-hour discussion on peace and what it means for us in these times, especially at a time on our planet where war still exists, yet we will learn that it just takes one individual, if not two, to make a difference.
