BKA | UN International Peace Day | CITY | AWAKENING | Wake up for Peace | Wednesday 21 September 2016 | 7.45- 8.30am (starts 7.45am prompt)

[Edited extract from public address]

Join the Melbourne community and it’s leaders in coming together to wake up for peace and proactively support the UN International Day of Peace, along with millions around the world.

Be involved in this event - create silent, powerful intentions of peace and goodwill - on one day, for one purpose - and as one community.

This simple but significant meditation event will be led by a team of 21 special guest meditators from across Australia; from teachers to practitioners; academics to business people; artists to sports individuals; and faith to non-faith representatives. As long-term practitioners of meditation, they will ​each light a candle for peace and ​hold a powerful and peaceful half-hour meditation on stage, guided with gentle commentary, music and silence.

The meditation will be facilitated by ABC meditation artist Carmen Warrington along with musicians Michael Johnson (harp), David Jones (Tibetan bowls/percussion) and Megan Kenny (keyboard).

Closing comments will be provided by Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle and Matt Jones (General Manager, Program & Events, Federation Square).
