The 10-Day Peace Challenge
Two ways to take part — join the online challenge, the in-person celebration, or both.
Each stands on its own — you're welcome to join just one, or both for the fullest experience.
Ten days of reflection, meditation, conversation and practical tools to cultivate peace within ourselves — and let it ripple out into our communities.

The 10-Day Peace Challenge is a Heartfulness Institute Canada initiative, bringing together organizations, speakers and communities from across the country who share one aspiration: to cultivate peace within ourselves, and let that peace ripple outward into our families, workplaces and communities.
We believe there are many paths to peace. Over ten days, you'll hear from voices across Buddhist practice, multi-faith traditions, meditation, mindfulness and community wellness — each sharing their own way of cultivating calm, compassion and connection. Whatever your background or belief, you are welcome here.
Whether you're completely new to meditation or already on a personal growth journey, everyone is invited to take part.
Our in-person Peace Ambassador Community Events mark the close of the Peace Challenge period and welcome everyone — participants who dedicated themselves to ten days of reflection and practice, first-timers joining just for the celebration, and community members whose everyday actions spread compassion and harmony as Peace Champions.
