Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

459th International City of Peace

Peace begins within and radiates outward

“I believe peace begins within and radiates outward — shaping how we live, work, and connect with others. ” This message from Ms. Shashi Das, the new Liaison between Surrey and our association of International Cities of Peace, is the essence of International Cities of Peace: a reaching out from the goodness within. Shashi’s journey began with the Heartfulness meditation centers in 2009, inspired by her parents’ gentle example as meditators and trainers. What started as quiet curiosity grew into a steady path of inner exploration and service. The mission of Surrey, as it rises to an International City of Peace, “is to foster a culture of peace,” writes Shashi, “by making Heartfulness meditation and relaxation practices accessible to all, while collaborating with diverse communities to promote inner transformation and collective harmony.” Peace inside and out. Congratulations to the community of Surrey and may peace radiate its power of heart.
