Our aims are to:
- Inspire the creation of universal Peace Ceremonies locally and globally

- Provide a simple way for people to invest in peace every day and on significant occasions such as The International Day of Peace (21st September) – a day of global ceasefire and non-violence designated by the United Nations
- Seek and receive both the positive support from people of a secular perspective and the prayers and blessings from those who have a religious or spiritual belief
- Gather and publicise Messages of Goodwill from people who share our vision of Creativity Unity and Peace and are in positions of global leadership
At the heart of our Global Peace Ceremony
is the invitation to the people of the world
to join together by lighting a Candle for Peace
dedicated to:
Peace in every home and heart
Peace across our land
Peace in every mind and body
Peace in every hand
followed by a 2 minute Silence for Peace.
The Inspiration
The Global Circle of Peace was conceived by Lizzie Davies, Founder and Chief Executive.
“I created The Global Circle of Peace and Peace PAX in response to the unique challenges and possibilities of our time. The world is rapidly coming to understand that to achieve peace, we each need to become increasingly aware of the choices we make in our own everyday lives, at all levels and the effects these have on others.
Inner peace and the practical expression of a sense of unity and wholeness are vital if we are to create a global culture of peace. Responsibility for putting this awareness into action lies with each and every one of us, to be and to do all that we can.
I was inspired to create The Global Circle of Peace by reflecting on the words of Baron Pierre de Coubertin , Founder of the International Olympic Committee:
‘Olympism as the holder and distributor of social peace, this will be the final rung to climb’
To me, the idea of collectively climbing the final rung to achieve world and social peace is incredibly powerful and important.
By devising a peace initiative as an interactive multimedia work of art using ‘universal languages’ which transcend our differences, we can help to unify our global community. It is surely time for the people of the world to unite for a common cause. May we engage our personal and collective will to raise the global consciousness of peace - for ourselves, our children, our community and our planet.
Creativity is infinite. To rise above the situations that affect us, we need to shift our perception, dwell in the land of creative potential and be open to new possibilities. Together, we can use The Global Circle of Peace and Peace PAX to live the dream and build a new reality of peace.””
