The International Hour for Peace, also known as World Healing Day and World Peace Day, is a global effort launched in 1986 by John Randolph Price and the Quartus Foundation. It was established to offer people all over the word an opportunity to gather together for peace, love, forgiveness, and understanding through a simultaneous global mind-link at noon Greenwich Mean Time on December 31st of each year. Based on the Quantum Physics principle that thought can direct energy and thus create reality, the event is designed to break down walls of separation and synchronistically join millions of people around the world in meditation, prayer, music, readings, dialogue, dance, and other ways to focus on and create lasting peace on Earth.

Five years after the first Hour For Peace in 1986, a 1990 report stated, "dramatic changes have taken place in Eastern Europe, where people there have joined with the 105 countries already represented as of the 1990 preparations." The publicity and communication worldwide regarding the International Hour for Peace has far surpassed U.S. coverage. The Yomiuri, the third largest newspaper in Japan with 9.3 million copies distributed daily, ran an editorial on the front page entitled 'Global Mind Link' and asked readers to unite their minds to help heal this planet Earth from growing illness . . . to demand an end to hostilities, hunger, poverty and the subjugation of individual freedom. Reports from the Soviet Union claim 1.5 million participants each year since 1986.

CREATE WORLD PEACE AND INNER PEACE:

Participation in the December 31st International Hour for Peace is a way for area residents to join millions of people all over our planet at Noon Greenwich Mean Time for prayer, meditation, music, readings, dialogue, etc. focusing on world peace and inner peace for the coming year. When many minds join together with the intention of creating peace in the hearts of all people on earth, world peace happens! As Margaret Mead stated, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

A correspondent from Italy wrote, "This is our 'Super Bowl', and we plan for the December 31st event just as families and friends in your country anticipate coming together in their homes to watch that media event in January. The victory we see, however, is not one-sided. The prize is peace for all people."
