Pause for Peace Initiative by Brahma Kumaris in Nairobi, Kenya

The purpose of launching the Pause for Peace initiative was first to bring peace within an individual and then to spread this amongst one’s family, friends, community and the world. This project was open to all but mainly targeted the youth of Kenya to come and have an experience of Inner Peace and spread this experience to all others around them.

The purpose of the Pause for Peace initiative is to repeat the success of Nairobi to all 47 Counties throughout the Republic and to reach all the People of Kenya in 2018.

From April 17 – July 31, 2018, Pause for Peace meditation was conducted at more than 100 BK’s and contact families’s homes and businesses in Nairobi.

From Aug 15 – Nov 2, 2018, the team visited 47 counties; Trainings and sessions were conducted on: Harmony in Relationships, Practicing Values in Daily life, Positive Thinking, and Stress-Free Living Skills, etc.

Finally all sessions ended with a Self-reflection meditation which included the message and experience of our true Home, the world of peace, our Father the Ocean of Peace and my original nature of peace.

Programmes took place in hospitals, schools, universities, colleges, industries, factories, banks, hotels, companies, ladies’ clubs, communities, temples, churches, clubs, farms, medical centres, petrol stations, police stations, prisons, orphanages, Government offices, County offices, etc.  This gave us the opportunity to meet many Government Officials and prominent people.

8 BK teachers created teams comprised of 2 to 3 people who ventured to the counties of Kenya.  A total of 70 BK students from Nairobi and other counties, and 9 countries joined in the project.

In 2½ months a total of 455 programmes took place in 47 counties and approximately 27,146 people benefited personally.
