“We have come as a reminder of the original beauty and truth of life: Every living being has a right to be free and to unfold, a right to love, and a right to genuine truth and trust. Let us set examples for overcoming violence wherever we are. Let us stand up for life and for love so that fear can vanish on earth. Let us form a worldwide circle of power to safeguard all creation.”
Excerpt of the meditation text by Sabine Lichtenfels
On 9th of November, peace workers in seventy places around the world read this political prayer by Sabine Lichtenfels. It is a historical date, connected among others to the “Crystal Night” in 1938, which marked the beginning of the deportation of Jews in Germany and to the opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989. A growing movement of individuals and groups on all continents, we can call it the “Movement for a Free Earth” or simply “GRACE” dedicated this day to the power of Grace and the vision of a worldwide peace revolution that comes from an inner vision of a free and healed human being and human society.
In Sao Paulo, Brazil , 500 people gathered for the meditation. Claudio Miranda de Moura, band leader of the well known “Poesia Samba Soul” brought people from the slums together for a new hope and perspective. More information, pictures and short video...

We give thanks to all participants who dedicated this day to strengthen a different humane development on Earth that we urgently need today. We especially thank all the ones in war countries who are doing their peace work under life danger and daily threats.
We give thanks for the growing worldwide network of GRACE – Movement for a Free Earth and the growing world community of peace.
In the name of love – venceremos!
