Religion, other spiritual activities, music, art etc., there are many ways to seek a way to live on earth. None of them succeed to bring us  Harmony of World Peace yet. This day we would like to experience many different approaches together and think about 
"What is Peace ?" , "What does it do to us?"and "What can I do for it?"   This year we are expanding our search, with a more emotional impact. I am looking forward to see the outcome!  Our event is experimental and evoking ourselves each time to seek truth.
At the same time linking with other events worldwide to create a flow of our wishes running around the earth. Praying for world Peace is praying for our own individual happiness as well. 

                                         May Peace prevail on Earth

   Art Exhibition : Glass object from Deborah Hopkins
 
                                   http://www.deborahhopkins.com/

        She is an artist, I think, successfully capturing  images to express her honest feeling.  The viewer does not feel a distance between her work and themselves.
Therefore her work, triggers the viewer to bring up  memories of their own, with exact moments and atmospheres.
She desires her happiness badly and search for it.  Those searches appear as her work.
I know her from the Rietvelt Academy and saw How her works have developed and continue to develop.
Over seeing her progress,  I can say if we are looking for our own happiness, it will lead us to world peace.
Happiness is not a destination, it is a progressing passage.
I detect in her work a same vibe as our International day of Peace.
 We are a glad to introduce Deborah Hopkins and her work at International Day of peace 2015 Amsterdam.
