GET INSPIRED!

The SOPP is not just an interfaith event. It is a magical act of creation. During an SOPP ceremony, I have the sense that we are creating a new way of seeing the world, a new way of thinking of ourselves in relation to others, and I know that this powerful vibration of oneness is actually changing the planet and myself.
– SOPP organizer in Uruguay

Every year, the Symphony of Peace Prayers becomes a source of light and joy for more and more peace-loving people around the world. We hope the words and images shared here will inspire you to join the growing number of people who gather each May to pray for peace!
