Living peace

Spiritual leaders from all over the world unite in the Living Peace Projects Foundation to motivate people to bring loving kindness and compassion into action and in to the lives of all they meet.

Mission

Our objective is to promote harmony and peace between religions and religious movements and stimulate global cooperation between spiritual leaders of different traditions.

Living peace projects focus on education and healthy water. Education according to the virtues of the peace pledge is key, since young people are the future. Awareness of the sacredness of healthy water is fundamental for living peace because healthy water is the essential but scarce source of all life on Earth.

Spiritual council

The Spiritual Council consists of 9 Spiritual Leaders from different spiritual traditions. They are the inspirational body of the Living Peace Projects Foundation and act as an Advisory Council, giving recommendations on the mission for living peace.
