![May peace be in Palau. May all living beings in Palau have peace.
Palau’s strong cultural identity and vulnerability to increasing sea levels has given them the foresight to lead, globally, on environmental issues.
Palau signed the Test Ban Treaty (2003), it was the first country to ban commercial shark fishing (2009), it was the second to ratify the Paris Climate Agreement to limit global temperature rise to far below 2°C (2016), and banned commercial fishing and oil drilling in 80% of its maritime area creating the world’s 6th largest marine sanctuary (2015). (BBC and The Guardian). From 2020, Palau (1st once again) has banned sunscreens containing chemicals that cause significant damage to reefs. (The Independent). Since 2017, international arrivals are legally obliged to sign the ‘Palau Pledge’ - “a formal promise to the children of Palau to “preserve and protect [their] beautiful and unique island home””. President Remengesau hopes “that requiring visitors to sign a pledge … would create a cultural shift among tourists and make them aware of the fragility of the environment.” (The Guardian). The president also intends to reduce tourist numbers, focusing on high-end tourism to maximise income for the population whilst reducing pressure on the environment. (The Telegraph). May peace be with President Tommy Remengesau. Infinite gratitude for his goal of a sustainable future for Palau.
The USA provides Palau with financial aid and is responsible for Palau's defence with the right to maintain military bases there. (BBC). May peace be in the United States of America and with President Donald Trump who stopped contributions to the Green Climate Fund.
May peace be in China. May peace be in Taiwan.

![May peace be in Australia. May all living beings in Australia have peace. “Solastalgia is the feeling of distress associated with environmental change close to your home.” In response to extreme events in Australia, associated with climate change causing food insecurity, Aboriginal people are increasingly sought for their culture and worldviews to help heal the land, its people (including conventional famers) and the environment. Farming has become, increasingly, a struggle and there is a general sense of powerlessness on how to solve the problem of climate change, which governments seem unable to tackle. Through yarning, talking to share experience, aboriginal and other communities can work towards reconciliation and practical solutions for custodianship of the sky, land, rivers and all “living things that depend on [a] farm”, for the next generation and for the health of people today. “First, there’s awareness, then a feeling of being overwhelmed and helpless, then there is action and overcoming shame.” (University of Newcastle, NSW, study in The Independent). Infinite intuition, creation and forgiveness.
May peace prevail in the mining sector and coal fields. May peace be in Australian politics. May peace be with Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
May peace be with asylum seekers.
Infinite rightness, healing and gratitude to the Australian High Court for its landmark decision to compensate Aboriginal lost rights to Native Title. (IWGIA). May peace be with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Infinite gratitude to Germany for its current policy of returning human remains, taken in the colonial era for museum collections, including 53 sets from the Yawuru, Yidindji and other Aboriginal groups.

![May peace be in Scotland. May all living beings in Scotland have peace.
May peace be in England. May peace be in the United Kingdom. May peace be in the European Union.
May Scotland achieve its 2014 ambition of being nuclear weapon free. Infinite hope and improvement.
On May 5th, “Edinburgh [became] the first British city to join the Open Streets movement. As part of the initiative, the city centre will close to motorised vehicles on the first Sunday of every month during an 18-month trial.” (The Independent). Infinite splendour, progress and joy.

Located in the beautiful countryside of Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland.
A day of workshops and discussion - balancing the masculine and demine qualities within ourselves, our communities and our world.
Wellbeing in our community
Celebrate our 21st International World Peace Festival.
We are taking time out in the summer season to give a bit of care to the house and grounds, and appreciate the bounty of the garden.
We need your help…
At the end of a busy year, after hundreds of visitors, we invite volunteers to help tidy up and redecorate.
