"Like King and Gandhi, Suu Kyi and Mandela, Black Elk and Chávez, when our action is rooted in presence, the moment-to-moment skill and grace that comes from being self-aware and connected to purpose, that force of deep inner-knowing guides our every step."
Activists, Meditators, Yogis, Agents of Change: Take a Stand
Held on the International Day of Peace and Fall Equinox, SIT For Change is a celebration and affirmation of the power of Transformative Change: when work for a more just, equitable and sustainable society is championed by individuals and organizations that cultivate compassion and presence as much as they do strategies and campaigns, potential for real transformation -- both personal and social -- begins.
SIT For Change
Sitting is action! Beginning at EXACTLY noon with a minute of Silence for Peace shared worldwide, five sessions of group sitting, walking, moving meditation and yoga are alternated with live music, inspiring messages and spoken word.
