All Season Peace Walks. Four Seasons. All People. One Path.
All Season Peace Walks is a Canadian peace initiative inspired by the Buddhist tradition of walking pilgrimage. Through every season and every kind of weather, we walk together to cultivate peace within ourselves, build understanding between communities, and carry the teachings of the Buddha into the world.

All Season Peace Walks
Beginning here in Ontario, the walks will connect temples, communities and people of different faiths and backgrounds. Each journey is an invitation to slow down, meet one another, and take a few steps together toward a more peaceful world. Like Canada itself, the movement embraces every season.
Led by Bhante Bodhicitta, a Canadian Buddhist monk, invites people of all backgrounds to walk together in peace, compassion and understanding.
